Singer Hyun Sook, a devoted daughter, revealed an astonishing anecdote about her blind date with a handsome doctor.

On the Channel A show ‘Best Friend Documentary - Table for 4’, which aired at 8:10 PM on the 9th, dancer Poppin Hyun Joon and traditional Korean musician Park Ae Ri invited special guests for their mothers. They invited singers Hyun Sook and Shin Yu and prepared a ‘Mother‘s Favorite Gathering’.

Hyun Sook and Poppin Hyun Joon’s mother, in particular, had a special relationship, as they usually took care of her health food and even went to the hospital together.

On that day, Poppin Hyun Joon asked Hyun Sook, “You‘re so sociable, why don’t you date?“, and Hyun Sook laughed, saying, “I hate that you‘re asking me that the most”. Here, Park Ae-ri said, “There must be a lot of people who say they like you, unnie,” and Shin Yu added, “I heard there’s still a line of people lining up to say they like you.”

Hyun-sook said, “When people ask me why I‘m not married and live alone, I feel really bad. I want to cry,” and added, “My parents were really sick. They couldn’t move at all, couldn‘t speak a word, and couldn’t move. I couldn‘t leave them behind because I was happy, and I had to earn money. The hospital bills were really high, right? Because of that, I missed my chance to get married.”

Hyun-sook then added an anecdote about meeting a successful doctor at a university hospital. “He was an old bachelor. He had a really good impression. Honam Hyung also had ability. (So) when I asked, ‘Why did you ask me to introduce you?’, he said, ‘My mother is in her eighties and she has to take care of everything, so I think Hyunsook would take good care of her.’. Then shouldn’t I hire a caregiver? I came home and cried all night. I‘ll never see you again,” he revealed, drawing sighs from his friends.

Hyunsook then said, “Looking back now, even if it was just lip service, if she had just said, ‘You’re my ideal type,’, she would have taken good care of me when she got married, right? How could I not? That was a year after I sent my mother away (2008)”.

Shin Yu then said, “From what I saw, I don‘t think she’s married yet,“ and Hyunsook said, “She was too innocent. If she had said even just nice things, things might have been different. Looking back, it wasn‘t meant to be. So it can’t be done haphazardly. I won‘t look at the line after that. It’s just that our relationship met... I decided to live beautifully, flowing like water,” she added.

Meanwhile, Hyun-sook‘s sociability was beyond imagination. She revealed her daily routine of going to the bathhouse every morning and made everyone laugh by saying that she would go to the bathhouse naked and hold a ‘bathhouse showcase’ whenever a new song was released.
