Veteran actress Park Won-sook, who lost her son earlier in an accidental death, expressed envy and was moved by stories about fellow actor Im Hyun-sik's daughters.
On the 23rd, Park Won-sook posted a video titled "Park Won-sook♥Im Hyun-sik house tour: ending up at the hospital!?" on her personal YouTube channel. Recently, Park Won-sook shared content visiting the home of her close veteran actor friend Im Hyun-sik, and the rest of the story unfolded in that day's video.
Im Hyun-sik enjoyed country life, having created a private garden with a hanok-style house, vegetable plots, flower beds and wooded areas on a plot of land as large as 1,000 pyeong. At that, Park Won-sook admired, "It's so pretty," and while taking photos with Im Hyun-sik she nurtured a dream of country living. At the same time, she worried that Im Hyun-sik, born in 1945 and now 80, might harm his health managing the large country house and vegetable plots. She advised, "Pulling weeds must be very hard, and because he can't see unused land, he'll put his life into farming. Stop it now."
Im Hyun-sik agreed, saying, "On hot days like this my daughters don't even sit here (in the vegetable plot)," but he also expressed a continued desire to tend the country house, saying, "I contact the broadcasting set and ask them to let me know when the work is done. Then I'll drive a truck and bring whatever's usable." Park Won-sook, teasing the tireless Im Hyun-sik, said, "See? Don't criticize me for doing the interior," yet she acknowledged, "Im Hyun-sik really lived well."
In fact, Im Hyun-sik poured his energy into country life he genuinely enjoyed rather than a luxurious lifestyle like designer goods, radiating unchanged energy. He even appeared in the recently released film Hope (director Na Hong-jin) and acted as a scene stealer, showing steady passion for acting. Park Won-sook encouraged Im Hyun-sik, saying, "At this age, even without material things, enjoying what you like, raising your children well, looking back you really were an excellent husband, father and actor."
However, age-related illnesses were beyond Im Hyun-sik's control. In response to Park Won-sook's remarks he gave off-topic answers and seemed to have trouble hearing. Park Won-sook advised, "Have you been to an ear, nose and throat doctor? Go see a doctor. Be sure to go and call me afterward." Im Hyun-sik jokingly said, "My daughters do that too. They only say, 'Go see a doctor.'"
Park Won-sook said, "Still, where would you be without daughters who tell you that? I'm jealous of that too." Coincidentally, Park Won-sook lost her only son in a traffic accident in 2003. Her confession, which she could reveal in front of her close friend Im Hyun-sik, moved viewers with sadness.
