Veteran actress Kim Young-ok recently expressed her deep affection for her family.

On the 22nd, a video titled "The Epitome of Slow Aging?! 87-Year-Old Kim Young-ok's Secret to Maintaining a Youthful Appearance | EP.11" was uploaded to Kim Young-ok's channel.

In the video, Kim Young-ok visited a specialized scalp care shop. She received a diagnosis that placed her in the top 28.5% among women over 70, and even among those in their 70s, she ranked at the top, drawing attention.

While receiving scalp care, Kim humorously remarked, "I'm worried my face will look 10 years younger," and added, "Even doing this one thing is quite challenging. My close friend, actress Na Moon-hee, called and said, 'Now, live for yourself.' But I replied, 'How can I live just for myself?' I have family to care for, and that's not a bad thing," expressing her deep affection for her family.

Notably, Kim Young-ok appeared on Channel A's 'Golden Counseling Center' last year, revealing that she has been caring for her grandson, who became paralyzed from the waist down due to a drunk driving accident, for eight years. She shared the traumatic experience, saying, "He was hit by an unregistered car. He almost died. He injured his spine and became paralyzed from the waist down."

Despite having a caregiver, Kim explained her reason for personally taking care of her grandson: "There are times when I can't help but want to do things for him because of something he says," she said, adding that she can't give up because her grandson tells her that the meals she prepares are delicious.
