TV CHOSUN hyperrealistic documentary entertainment program "Lover of Joseon" features broadcaster Ahn Sun-young, famous for "cumulative sales of 1 trillion won," accompanying her mother, who is battling dementia. Ahn Sun-young recalls memories of appearing on broadcasts with her mother in the past.
On the preview video of "Lover of Joseon," which will air on the 12th (Mon), broadcaster Ahn Sun-young, the "first celebrity show host," is seen taking her mother, who is fighting dementia, to a restaurant. Ahn Sun-young asked, "Mom, do you remember being on TV before?" and recalled memories of her mother, the original source of the wit and storytelling she passed down to her daughter and someone who often appeared with her. Watching on the VCR, Hwang Bo-ra also reminisced, "Even when she talked about stories on the show, (Ahn Sun-young) always compared them to her mother. Her mother used a strong dialect," recalling the time.
Ahn Sun-young played past broadcast footage showing her mother healthy before the illness. Her mother, who stared at the screen silently, said, "Only people who speak well appear on TV. Isn't the person in the video my aunt?" showing unfamiliarity. Ahn Sun-young quietly watched her mother with a calm smile.
In an interview with the production team, Ahn Sun-young revealed, "I regret taking my mother on broadcasts in the past. Because I kept asking about my sick mother, I hated it for the past seven years," uncovering feelings she had hidden. But she added, "Looking back, (appearing on broadcasts with my mother) was truly a blessing. Every time I watch (the videos), my mother is amazed," expressing a changed perspective. Finally, Ahn Sun-young candidly said, "The thread of memory will thin gradually, but as long as this memory remains, doesn't it make my mother happy?" which moved viewers. The touching daily life of Ahn Sun-young and her mother battling dementia, revealed for the first time on broadcast, will be shown in the full episode.
The special date between Ahn Sun-young and her mother, who is losing her memory to dementia, will be revealed on the hyperrealistic documentary entertainment TV CHOSUN "Lover of Joseon" at 10 p.m. that evening.
