Seo Dong-ju, mother's battle with cancer, "I act as a mother"


The concerns of people who overcame difficulties, including lawyer and broadcaster Seo Dong-ju and star lecturer Park Se-jin, were revealed.

Kim Ji-yeon, an obstetrician and gynecologist who posts gynecological-related content on YouTube, visited the Channel S entertainment show 'Attack on Sisters' that aired on the 14th. He expressed his concern, saying, “I’m a gynecologist, but people don’t listen to me.” Jiyeon Kim introduced cases written in medical books among the sex-related content, but her expertise was questioned due to misunderstanding as it was a fragmentary part. However, he could not stop uploading YouTube content because he thought, “Sex education is necessary,” as patients visiting the hospital not only ask repeated questions, but also do not even know the relevant names. Park Mi-seon said to the storyteller, “I wish I could become a fighter. “If we fight thoroughly, win, and provide correct information, I think it will be of help to those who need it,” he said, expressing his support.

Star English instructor Park Se-jin expressed her concerns, saying, “Contrary to how it looks on the outside, it is difficult to get through each day.” He had ‘Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)’ and had many difficulties in his daily life. Sejin Park was misdiagnosed at the first hospital she went to at the age of 14, was exposed to society without receiving any treatment, and grew up experiencing school violence and excessive corporal punishment from teachers. The trauma caused by a teacher I trusted said, “If you reveal that you have ADHD, people will think you are mentally ill,” had an impact on my work life, and I had no choice but to resign after 7 months.

He honestly conveyed his sincerity, saying, “I wanted to comfort and be comforted by the people who called me teacher.” He also said with tears in his eyes, “I wanted to reach out to people who had the same experiences as me in the past.” In response, Park Mi-sun said, “If you push or push me too much, I get tired easily. “If you try too hard, you’ll end up in trouble,” he said, giving warm comfort and support.

Lastly, Seo Dong-ju, a lawyer and broadcaster, said, “I try to be a mother to my mother as well. People around me tell me to stop being a mother, but I don't hate it. “Should I quit?” he said, expressing his concerns. He considered himself the 'neighborhood leader' by taking care of his acquaintances' dogs and going to work at stores that were short on workers. On one occasion, he sent 5 million won of his part-time salary to a fraudster who asked for help through social media, and even visited the fraudster's house, giving a surprising surprise.

When he visited, the family members of the house were different from what the fraudster had said, but he accepted it and passed it off even though it was unclear. Afterwards, when the fraudster again asked for financial help, people around him found out that it was a fraud. Even in that situation, Seo Dong-ju said, “That’s right,” and said that he passed it on, which embarrassed his sisters.

Seo Dong-ju continued, “Isn’t my mother like a girl? There are times when I feel like my baby. I thought my mother would break down if she got cancer. But he was a very strong person. “Even though it’s hard, I go hiking and go shopping,” he said about his mother’s battle with cancer. And he made everyone laugh by jokingly saying, “I didn’t have to take care of her as a mother, or maybe I was a good mother and raised her well.” Kim Ho-young, who felt a sense of kinship with Seo Dong-ju, said, “I don’t sacrifice and devote myself unconditionally. I just take care of my mom and my younger brother’s clothes and don’t do that. “I wear more expensive things,” he sympathized, giving joking advice.
