Sunwoo Yong-yeo revealed the story of how she either disposed of or lost all the expensive artworks and antiques she once owned.
On the afternoon of the 25th, a video titled ""I'm going to die here" 82-year-old Sunwoo Yong-yeo's Ichon-dong luxury tour saying she wants to live there until her death (National Museum, regular restaurants)" was posted on the YouTube channel 'Sunpoong Sunwoo Yong-yeo'.
Visiting the National Museum of Korea, Sunwoo Yong-yeo was asked about treasures in her home. When the production team asked, "Don't you have any heirlooms passed down through the family?", Sunwoo Yong-yeo answered, "Before I went to the United States long ago, I had a lot of antiques. But I gave them all away to someone back then," surprising everyone.
In particular, Sunwoo Yong-yeo revealed a special connection with Namnong Heo Geon, a master of Korean ink painting. Sunwoo Yong-yeo said, "I really like Namnong's paintings," and revealed that she had owned many of Namnong's works in the past. Explaining the background, Sunwoo Yong-yeo added, "Because at our Haenam (in-laws' hometown), Namnong came to the front room and painted a lot. He left many behind."
Sunwoo Yong-yeo confessed, "But I took them to the United States. Then I just left them all at a restaurant," shocking those on site. Namnong Heo Geon's works currently sell for about 500,000 won to 1,000,000 won per piece at market value, and folding screens can reach as much as 2,000,000 won.
Although she effectively lost treasures worth tens of millions of won, Sunwoo Yong-yeo did not lose her characteristic largeness of spirit. Urging people not to dwell on the past, she showed a cool side by saying, "Forget what's past."
