'Comedian Kim Young-hee's heartfelt confession moved the hearts of weary young people.
On the 25th, the second episode of KBS2's "Malja Show" aired as a "youth·young adult" special. Transformed into "Malja halmae," Kim Young-hee listened to the worries of the young people who filled the audience one by one, empathized, and created a warm time. As questions ranging from dating to serious questions about life poured in, Kim Young-hee even revealed her own dark past and offered sincere comfort.
When a story was introduced that someone had been ghosted, Kim Young-hee confessed that she had a similar experience in her early 20s. She recalled the memory of unexpectedly encountering her ex-boyfriend at a barbecue restaurant after he had left the message "my grandmother is critically ill" and then cut off contact for more than two months, and recounted that fraught page of youth with her characteristic wit. She advised, "Ghosting is psychological torment for the other person," and said, "For the sake of the time and feelings you invested, meeting and sorting things out is the cleanest thing to do."
The atmosphere naturally extended to the audience, and the spectators became one through laughter and empathy as they shared their own breakup experiences.
Then a young man who said, "My life feels like it's standing still" and that he wanted to stop trying appeared with his worry. Kim Young-hee cautiously opened up about her most painful story, saying, "It's okay even if you're standing still." After her image sank because of family problems, she said, "I felt like I was walking through a pile of dung," and honestly revealed that she had endured years in which no one acknowledged her and had even "foolishly imagined extreme attempts."
She confessed, "When I actually tried to do that, I looked so ridiculous. Seeing myself come up with every excuse and not doing it made me realize that I was someone who wanted to live more than anyone else." She said that nothing immediately changed after that, but that what she met by continuing to walk was the current "Malja halmae."
Kim Young-hee conveyed her sincerity, saying, "I thought it was a dung field, but as I kept walking in place, that ground became fertile," and "I can't irresponsibly tell you to cheer up. Instead, I hope you keep walking. Even if it seems like nothing is changing, things are changing deep under the ground." In response to her words, scenes of audience members wiping away tears were captured in various places.
After the broadcast, viewers responded, "It couldn't have been easy to bring up such stories, but she truly counseled them and that's admirable," "It felt less like comfort and more like someone walking with you," and "She was not Malja halmae but a life senior," applauding Kim Young-hee's courage and sincerity.
