[Mediment News Reporter Kim Soo-hyun] Comedian Kim Young-hee has provided a heavy resonance to the weary youth of this era through her confession of overcoming past pain.
The second episode of KBS2's Malja Show, aired on the 25th, was conducted as a special on youth and young adults. On this day, Kim Young-hee, playing the role of Grandma Malja, listened to the concerns of the young audience filling the seats and shared sincere comfort based on her painful experiences, turning the venue into a sea of tears.
The broadcast first introduced a story of someone hurt by a ghosting breakup. Kim Young-hee shared that she had a similar experience in her early twenties, recounting a ridiculous story of running into her ex-boyfriend, who had disappeared under the pretext of her grandmother being critically ill, two months later at a meat restaurant. She stated that ghosting is a form of emotional torture without the slightest courtesy towards the other person, and emphasized that one must bring closure, considering the time and feelings invested.
Following this, in response to a young person's story about wanting to give up because life feels stagnant, Kim Young-hee revealed her darkest times. She recalled a period when her image plummeted due to family issues, feeling like she was walking through a field of dung. After years of effort with no recognition, she foolishly contemplated extreme measures.
However, Kim Young-hee stated that every time she thought about dying, she realized, paradoxically, that she was someone who wanted to live more than anyone else. Although the situation did not change for a while afterward, she shared that by not giving up and walking quietly, she eventually met the character of Grandma Malja.
She expressed that even if it seems like life is stagnant, the ground is gradually becoming fertile, and instead of offering irresponsible words of encouragement, she sincerely hoped that they would continue to walk forward. Her words, suggesting that even if nothing seems to change right now, changes are beginning deep underground, brought tears to many audience members' eyes.
By openly revealing her dark history and wounds, Kim Young-hee formed a bond with the youth, leaving a significant impact on viewers. Meanwhile, the third episode of KBS2's Malja Show, which conveys wisdom and laughter about life, is scheduled to air on the 27th at 10:40 PM.
