Former KBS Announcer Son Mina Reflects on Life-Changing 2018 Hawaii Car Accident

Former KBS announcer and broadcaster Son Mina recently revisited a life-altering car accident she experienced in Hawaii in 2018.

On October 22, Son Mina shared a video titled 'The Most Dynamic Life Graph in the World' on her YouTube channel.

In the video, she recalled the accident in Hawaii, saying, "We had just finished breakfast and coffee, and less than 10 minutes after we started driving, the American cameraman driving the car suddenly shouted, 'Oh, NO.'"

She continued, "I saw a huge car approaching at full speed, and I thought, 'It shouldn't come, I hope it stops.' In that moment, a strange sense of acceptance of death came over me."

Son Mina shared that she was told at the hospital that she might not be able to walk again, which led her to reevaluate her life while spending countless hours in bed. "I decided to live each day as if it were my last, pondering what I truly wanted to do. It was then I realized I was in a deep state of burnout," she revealed.

She added, "After receiving counseling, I was advised to go as far away as possible from Korea to avoid work, so I went to Cuba. What was supposed to be a one-month trip turned into a six-month stay. Observing life from a distance, I realized I am someone who needs to stand on the road, see the world, travel, and meet people."
