"Afraid of being pointed at" North Korean defector mother opposes daughter dreaming of trot

In 'Ask Anything', the conflict between the daughter who wants to be a trot singer and the mother of a defector was introduced.

In the 224th episode of KBS JOY's entertainment program 'Ask Anything' (hereafter referred to as 'Ask Bodhisattva'), which aired on the 10th, a mother's troubles against her elementary school daughter who dreams of becoming a trot singer appeared as a story.

Seo Jang-hoon, who listened to the mother of the storyteller, cautiously asked, "Where are you from?", and the mother replied, "I am from North Korea." Lee Soo-geun and Seo Jang-hoon then advised that there was no need to be shy, saying that many defectors had come to ask.

The speaker explained, "My mother has very low self-esteem." The mother of the storyteller showed a timid appearance saying, "There is a trauma." When Seo Jang-hoon asked what he was worried about, the storyteller revealed a reversal story, "Actually, I like trot. My mother keeps opposing it."

Then, when asked why she opposed it, the mother of the storyteller revealed the process of defecting from North Korea. He explained the long story, saying, "First of all, I crossed over from North Korea to China, but I was caught the first time I crossed over. After the second attempt, I succeeded in escaping and went over to China. The broker who helped defect from North Korea sold it to another broker," he explained the long story. He added that he had abdominal pain at the time and went to the hospital and was diagnosed with acute appendicitis, but the female broker did not want to treat it because it was a waste of money.

However, with the help of the men by her side, she was treated and escaped North Korea safely. At the time, one of the men who had been arguing with the broker secretly took care of his home address and money, and he said that he managed to escape from the broker. Then, she ended the long story of defecting from North Korea by saying that she married the man who helped her and came to South Korea.

Afterwards, Seo Jang-hoon asked why he opposed his daughter's dream. The mother confessed that the person who lived next door behaved badly, and it became a big trauma. He said, "My neighbor knocked on the door and harassed me. At that time, it had a lot of negative effects. What I felt was that the perception of North Korean defectors was not good. It also caused trauma and anxiety disorders." It turned out that the neighbor who lived next door was an alcoholic.

Seo Jang-hoon, who was listening to the story, said, "I think the reason I oppose trot is that I'm afraid I'll get pointed at by my mother." He then said, "Of course there are people like that, but there are many people who aren't," and hoped that his mother's anxiety would be relieved.

The storyteller's mother replied that she wanted her daughter to dream of becoming a teacher rather than a trot singer. Bodhisattvas scolded the storyteller who rebelled, saying, "You can't do that." The speaker sang a song called 'Yongdusan Elegy' in front of the bodhisattvas.

The bodhisattvas who heard the high-quality song praised it, saying, "You're doing well." Seo Jang-hoon cheered for the storyteller's dream, saying, "I hope to graduate from high school when everything is perfectly prepared." He gave realistic advice, talking about the possibility of change in the future, saying, "Dreams can change." The speaker showed a proud appearance by saying, "If I succeed in singing, I want to buy a house."
