Actor Seo Hyo-rim expressed longing for the late Kim Su-mi, and the sadness deepened as successive family bereavements overlapped. After a mother-in-law's funeral 1 year and 7 months ago, this time it is a father-in-law's funeral.
Seo Hyo-rim recently wrote on her personal SNS, "My mother whom I miss more when kimjang season comes," and "Now I understand why she made so much kimchi to share." She added, "At some point I found myself doing the exact same thing," recalling Kim Su-mi's warm heart during her lifetime and expressing a poignant feeling.
The released photos showed her making kimchi herself, and the enormous quantity of napa cabbage and kimchi caught the eye. It was a moment that conveyed not a simple daily life but the full longing for the deceased.
But recently Seo Hyo-rim faced another farewell. Without a moment to dry her tears, Kim Su-mi's husband and father-in-law, the late Jeong Chang-gyu, passed away.
The news came about 1 year and 7 months after Kim Su-mi died in October last year, making it consecutive losses for the family. For Seo Hyo-rim, who is married to Jeong Myung-ho and has a daughter, this meant facing another farewell before her grief had fully passed.
In addition, it was belatedly revealed that the late Kim Su-mi had not been paid appearance fees for the musical "Mother's home" in which she had appeared during her lifetime, causing further pain to the deceased and her bereaved family. Entertainment industry groups also warned of a strong response, calling it "an act of desecration toward the deceased."
Recalling memories with mother-in-law Kim Su-mi left Seo Hyo-rim feeling heavyhearted, and the two subsequent farewells have been saddening.
