Hyori Lee's mother confessed how sorry she was to her daughter.

Lee Hyori's mother and daughter's trip continued in JTBC's 'Mom, do you want to go on a trip alone?', which aired on the 30th.

The mother and daughter began a deep conversation. Hyori Lee said, "I knew exactly the hurt in my heart. I thought it was because of my father, but it was because of my mother." He then confessed, “When I was young, I wanted my mom to take me there.” Mom said, "I didn't have the skills back then. How could I earn, feed, and raise four people without my dad?"

Hyori Lee complained, "You knew it would be difficult for me. I hated that. That makes me sad to this day." The mother felt uncomfortable, saying, "I want to go home. Stop now. I know enough, let's stop." Hyori Lee said, “This is my first time talking about this,” and expressed her disappointment by saying, “My mom didn’t protect me.” “Why aren’t you protecting me?” said the mother. “There was nothing I could do.”

There was an awkward silence between mother and daughter. Mom said, “Now let’s talk about ‘what was good?’” and “let’s just throw it all into the sea off Geoje Island and let’s go.” Lee Hyori confessed, "Why is the person I love so weak? I don't like it. I think I had resentment and wondered if I could have improved my childhood environment in some way."

The mother and daughter visited a cafe in Geoje. While Hyori Lee was looking around the second floor alone, her mother innocently told the owner a story about her childhood on the first floor. Hyori Lee quietly listened to her mother's childhood story, which she was hearing for the first time.

In an interview, the mother confessed, "At that time, my husband was scary and like heaven. If it were the same now, I wouldn't have lived like that. If I had the same courage and awareness as I have now, I would have lived without giving up no matter what I did."

Lee Hyo-ri, who resented her mother, said, "When I heard stories about my mother's childhood, it seems like she was a pure, curious, and kind person. I don't think she would have been able to do that because she didn't have many opportunities. If she had been born at the same time, she would have been similar to me." “I like challenges, moving around, and simple things. It’s not that I’m powerless or weak, but I think that’s what it was like back then.” He also opened his heart towards his mother a little, saying, "It's not that my mom didn't rescue me, but I realized that she couldn't have rescued me, so I feel relieved. It's not that I didn't do it, but I felt that I couldn't do it."

Lee Hyori said to her mother, “We talk about the past, but we don’t really talk about our feelings.” Mom said, "I also have a secret I want to hide. I want to keep one or two secrets that I want to keep hidden."

Hyori Lee said in an interview, "I think the secret in my mother's dark box was darker than I thought. I don't think bringing it out just because I want to know will not help my mother. 'It's much more than the hurt I received. “I thought a lot about how well he must have hidden his great pain in silence.”

After going to the sauna, the mother and daughter ate dinner at the hotel and did some knitting. Lee Hyo-ri gave a picture she had drawn for a month to her mother. After dinner, the mother called her eldest daughter and husband and boasted about her trip with Hyori Lee, saying, “You don’t know how grateful I am as a mother.” Upon hearing this, Hyori Lee shed tears. Lee Hyori confessed, "I regretted not being able to do something for my mother because I was away from her for 30 years. I'm not the type of person to regret things, but when I saw that she loved her so much, I thought, 'I was too indifferent.' I thought, 'Why have I been so mean?'" .

The mother and daughter lay side by side and fell asleep. The mother said, "I'm sorry for everything, Mom and Dad. Mom and Dad will also apologize for everything. I'm grateful that you were born as my daughter. If it wasn't for you, Mom, there was no point. Living in this world would have been no fun."
