[English Subtitles by Phantomstar] The colors make it feel like a fairy tale home
Yes. I really like many bright colors. I had different ideas in my mind. Then I called the contractors…
So, you are doing it all
You do have a feel for art as well
Yeah, I really like to make or decorate things
Wow, you are into so many things
So you are a perfectionist, right?
Right. If I do something, I have to do it very accurately
To tell you the truth, we were sharing the 4th floor with my parents-in-law
One day, Dad said, “You guys move down to the 3rd floor and live your own lives.”
I said, “I don’t want to move downstairs.
My life on the 4th floor was already comfortable.
Please do not spend money for our moving. Why don’t you do something else with the money?”
Still, Dad insisted that we move downstairs
It occurred to me that if I started decorating downstairs, I had to get it done perfectly
I thought I would be stressed out, becoming independent of parents-in-law. A whole lot happened during one month
How long did it take your couple to become independent?
About 13 years?
[Wow!]
Is it possible to become that close to your father-in-law?
Like he was your real father?
I feel more comfortable with my father-in-law.
For real?
Reading his eyes, I understand what he means
Your real father may feel a little sad, if he watches this
There’s nothing that can be done. Sorry.
How about with your mother-in-law?
I am closer to Mom than Dad
Is that right?
[Wow!]
Mom is the best gift in my life
And she is my best friend
We even talk to each other up until 3 or 4 AM…
Then, you may not understand so-called the conflict with in-laws, I presume.
Correct. When I see anything like it on TV dramas, it’s hard to understand
You know what I'm talking about, don’t you?
Jadu, is she like that when you observe her close by?
She’s unbelievable
I cannot think of any girl who talks about her moth-in-law more than Sohyang
Girls talk a lot, that’s for sure
But they are bad-mouthing mothers-in-law
Although I’ve been friends with Sohyang for a long time, I saw her Mom only recently
She was very elegant and gracious
Since Sohyang talked about her so much
that I felt I knew her well enough to give her a big hug on the spot
She is so caring and loving
Wait. Don’t you experience something called a tension between mother- and daughter-in-law at all?
Absolutely not
I think Mom is humbler than me
Mom opens up to me more
and tries to understand me more.
She took me and literally raised me like her own daughter
Mr. Kim, how many kids do you have?
We've heard about a daughter
Right. I have 3 sisters-in-law
Isn’t there a difference between your daughters and daughter-in-law?
Sohyang’s closer to me
That's right.
Your daughters might feel a little sad
Not at all
They take it for granted now
You are on good terms with your parents-in-law
and your family life is trouble-free.
Then, your husband may have nothing to worry about
I like my parents-in-law more than my husband, and I mean it.
How should I take this?
Of course, I love my husband from the bottom of my heart
But I tell you I cannot live without Mom
After your father-in-law joined the band,
he started worrying about your health
whether you knew that or not
Thee years ago, did you find
something was wrong during the tour of South America?
Yes. My liver numbers jumped up by about 5 times
At that time, we also toured the U.S. besides South America for 3 months
I was already a Hep B virus carrier
But I didn’t think that it was serious enough
to cause the numbers to go up that high
Upon returning to Korea, I went to see a doctor for a regular check-up
After the blood test, my doctor urgently called me,
saying my liver numbers spiked too high.
I saw that virus rapidly propagated.
So now, I have to take one pill a day without skipping for the rest of my life
I see.
In the past when this pill was unavailable,
it could have easily developed into a cancer.
But nowadays, taking a good medicine
enables me to stay free of any problem
I'm glad to hear that.
Now, I may get fatigued after touring for too long
Concerned about my health for that reason, Dad does not set up my schedule too tightly
He manages your schedule thoroughly
It turns out many of those who love and care others
have experienced sickness themselves.
When I got married,
I had a conviction at that time that I should get married
But it was only the moment when I had a health problem
that I realized the meaning of that conviction.
I visited an OB-GYN doctor for a simple check-up
with an ultrasound test
The result showed a uterine myoma attached on one side,
so the doctor said, “You should not let it continue to stay there. Let’s open up your tummy and remove it.”
It was a simple operation requiring 1 hour.
But after removing it,
the doctor had a hunch and lifted the other side to look underneath
He found that a tumor that was not detected by ultrasound was there,
twisted many times and dried out.
Shocked, the doctor summoned all my family into the operating room
He explained that, since one side was removed,
if the other side is removed as well,
I could not get pregnant naturally.
He asked for family’s opinion
saying I may not give birth to a baby.
Then, Dad said, “That cannot be any problem.
Sohyang should by saved first,
so go ahead and remove it asap.”
Then, the doctor removed it
and managed to attach one ovary there
That's why I can't get pregnant.
It turned out that the tumor was just about to develop into a cancer. It was removed at the right time.
In a way, marriage saved my life.
If I did not get married then and maintained the status quo…
I am a girl who’s not interested in seeing a doctor.
So I thought, “Had I not gotten married,
I would have been growing a cancer in my body for 4-5 years, unaware.”
My own parents were also very thankful at that time.
They rushed to the hospital and saw the tumor.
Relieved, they said,
“Without this drastic measure, our daughter could have died.”
That’s when I realized that it was not a coincidence
that somehow I had a conviction of getting married
You must have been shocked so much
I was shocked. A lot.
Sohyang is in her 30s now.
So Mr. Kim, you must have your hope for… like a grandchild
Rather than hoping for a baby,
I told her initially,
“Although you don’t give birth to a baby after being pregnant for 10 months,
there are so many babies in the world that you can give birth to in your mind.
Wouldn’t you rather have a sense of reward if you adopted them?”
So I don't talk about a baby at all.
As a female myself, I feel happy for you to have discovered the tumor
before it got really malicious
Still, let me ask you
if you have thought about artificial insemination or the like.
I thought about it a lot of late.
When I travel abroad to do missionary works fervently ,
my schedule pushes me in a dizzying speed
and I have a tunnel vision that I must perform.
So as Mr. Kim said, you’re okay with adoption.
Or are you thinking about artificial insemination?
Yes, I am thinking about it.
So, I am asking around.
Sometimes, I ask doctors,
“Hi doc, what you think about this technique?
Do you know of anything else?”
Your father-in-law worries about your health continuously but...
Yes, but what worries me and what weighs heavily on me going forward
is the aging of my parents-in-law
We all have the moment
that we must accept sometime down the road.
That scares me the most
What am I going to do if my parents-in-law are no longer with me?
Now is the time you and your husband need to start taking care of your parents.
I think I still have a lot of growing up to do.
My parents-in-law are those I love the most. I really love them. Really.
My goodness, when I talk about this, I tear up.
We got tissue for you.
I can feel the love while we talk today. I am sensing it.
You are very talented in many areas.
What is your dream going forward?
I have many dreams.
As you watched,
I am writing a book.
I am writing a novel.
I will turn it into a scenario and create a movie.
That’s my dream
Mr. Kim, please tell us what you hope from Sohyang
or your dream, if any.
All I hope is her health.
Speaking of a dream, Sohyang should make her dream come true
Not mine. That’s it.
Sohyang, you joined us "Feel-Good Day" and talked a lot today.
Wow, you have too many talents
We can tell you have a great manager next to you.
I have many talents but I am not perfect. So, step by step…
We’ll see you in various shapes in different fields
Thank you.
Please join us more times.
Jadu, we look forward to your activities, too.
We'll see you soon, right?
You will.
Since you're here today...
Don't leave us like this.
Requesting a last song, let’s give So Hyang a round of applause.
