'Exclusive World' actor-turned shaman Lee Kyung-sil revealed her life as a shaman.
On the 12th, on MBN "Exclusive World," Lee Kyung-sil, who became a shaman after receiving a spirit possession in her 10th year as an actress, updated her status after a long time. She said there is a saying that actors follow their roles and singers follow their songs, and Lee Kyung-sil, known as an actress specializing in shamans, was actually living as a shaman.
While praying at sea and releasing lives, Lee Kyung-sil said, "I asked to have all the wrong things I did swept away; it's about saving lives." She said shamans must have a pure heart, so she travels the country praying diligently, and her husband prayed beside her.
Lee Kyung-sil said, "He is my husband. He goes with me to pray, and if there is work, he goes with me." Her husband is Kim Seon-dong, a musical actor who debuted as an MBC contracted talent. Kim Seon-dong said, "I actually received the spirit around the same time as my wife. I focus on my work, leave everything to my wife, and in a way I lead a comfortable life."
Lee Kyung-sil said she avoided going to see her husband's plays for 10 years for fear she would want to act. She said, "When I watched him act, I felt jealous. I was like this, and my husband was like that, and the jealousy made me unable to go see him," showing a bitter expression. Her husband Kim Seon-dong said, "I came into the broadcasting station with a dream, and I really feel sorry."
After Lee Kyung-sil's mother died in an accidental death, shamans told her that her mother's death was because of her. After that, she stayed out of public view and tried to return to broadcasting, but due to auditory and visual hallucinations causing NGs on set, she judged that she could no longer continue activities. That is how Lee Kyung-sil received the spirit possession.
In 1997, Lee Kyung-sil was loved for her lively acting and appearance in the drama 'There Is No Bluebird.' She met Kim Sung-hee, who appeared with her at the time.
Kim Sung-hee said, "When we went to Gyeongbokgung, Lee Kyung-sil was wearing white and that's when we met. I begged her not to read my fortune because I was scared, but her sister said, 'Even if I don't look, it's not that it won't be seen,'" expressing surprise at Lee Kyung-sil's spiritual power at the time.
Kim Sung-hee said, "As my sister said, she took care of school matters, returned to broadcasting work, and after 50 her work went well, so things have worked out as Lee Kyung-sil's divination predicted." She then asked about Lee Kyung-sil's return to broadcasting. Lee Kyung-sil said, "Even for me to do broadcasting work, I must have the spirit's permission," and added, "And haven't I often played shaman roles? Just seeing the ritual tools brings out what is truly inside me, so NGs happen," she said with a comfortable laugh. She said, "Compared with my acting life, now is the most comfortable for me."
Currently, Lee Kyung-sil and Kim Seon-dong have had their children leave the family home. Their youngest son is attending a prestigious university and is also living on his own. The couple, who brought side dishes for their son, worried in many ways about how he was managing his meals. The family, meeting after a long time, ate at a restaurant.
After setting up a shamanic altar in their home, the couple did not call their children home; they were afraid the children might be influenced by shamanism, so they did not bring the altar into the house. Now that they have set up the altar, they eat out. Lee Kyung-sil smiled, satisfied with everything, saying, "If the four of us are healthy, I would be very happy."
