Shim Hyun-seop "National Assembly member's father died in Aung San terrorist attack → mother owes 15 billion won due to wrong guarantee"
On the 14th, the YouTube channel ‘Grasshopper Entertainment’ featured a video titled ‘Sim Hyun-seop! A video titled ‘My father passed away due to a changed fate’ was posted.
In the released video, Shim Hyun-seop remembered his father, saying, "My father was good at drawing, had a sense of humor, and liked people. When he was drunk, he would turn on music and dance with my mom."
Shim Hyun-seop's father is the late lawmaker Shim Sang-woo, an entrepreneur and politician. Guru Lee Yu-yeop said, "My dad is a real man. He's really funny. He was so talented that he inherited my dad's talent. He must have been extremely popular."
Rep. Shim died in a North Korean terrorist attack at the Aung San Mausoleum in Yangon, the capital of Myanmar, in October 1983.
In relation to this, Master Lee Yu-yeop said, "Sim Hyeon-seop's father died in an accident. Originally, he was not going to the accident site. The plan was not to go, but something changed, so I ended up going there." In response, Shim Hyun-seop said, "I'm sorry, teacher, but how did you know? Only my family knows."
Also, "The reporter who went to the scene of the accident with my father said to me while crying after drinking. 'Sim Sang-woo is usually a very funny person and tells interesting stories, but on the day of the accident, strangely, he was silent.' The reporter asked, 'Are you not feeling well?' When I asked him, he said his father said, ‘I couldn’t sleep.’ When I heard that, my heart broke,” he said.
Shim Hyun-seop said, “According to the rumor, ‘my father was so fun that he took me with him even though there were no seats available.’”
After his father's death, his family's financial situation became difficult. Shim Hyun-seop said, "My mother would welcome me when I went on leave from the military, but one day she stopped welcoming me. She was trying to feed her five siblings, but it turned out that she had accumulated 1.5 billion won in debt through guarantees in the early 1990s. Converted to today, it's about 15 billion won. “He said.
He continued, "I became a founding member of KBS' 'Gag Concert' and paid off all my debt in 6 years. I went to all the places that invited me."
