Comedian Lee Kyung-sil will be appearing on ‘Joseon‘s Lovers’ with her daughter Son Soo-ah and son Son Bo-seung.

‘Joseon’s Lovers’, which will return on Monday, January 6th next year with more diverse moments of love, featured Lee Kyung-sil‘s daughter Son Soo-ah in a teaser video released on the 28th. Son Soo-ah revealed her identity, saying, “My mother is the famous celebrity Lee Kyung-sil, and my younger brother is the actor Son Bo-seung.” Kim Gook-jin reacted with surprise at the unexpected names, saying, “Oh my god,” followed by Hwang Bo-ra, who responded with, “Really?” in excitement at the surprise appearance of the new Lovers family.

Son Soo-ah then revealed her family history, saying, “About three years ago, my younger brother became a father. My younger brother and my mother lost contact for almost a year.” In fact, Son Bo-seung announced his premarital pregnancy at the young age of 23, and is currently a father of one child. Meanwhile, Lee Kyung-sil said, “When I heard that my son, who hadn’t even served in the military, was pregnant, I just felt lost. I didn‘t know what to do,” sharing her feelings at the time.



In order to bring harmony to the family, the eldest daughter Son Soo-ah made a place for her mother Lee Kyung-sil and her younger brother Son Bo-seung to be together. However, when asked if things would have been different if Son Bo-seung had said, “I’ll register my marriage when I‘m 23,” instead of saying that he was pregnant before marriage, Lee Kyung-sil exploded in anger, saying, “Now is not the time to talk about that. Don’t we have a lot to resolve right now?”

Although they only exchanged a few words, their emotions were running high, and they only said what they wanted to say. In the end, Lee Kyung-sil pressured her son, saying, “Did you think you could take responsibility when you were pregnant?” and Son Bo-seung retorted, “I didn‘t make a mistake.” Son Soo-ah, the daughter who had tried to find a way to reconcile in the continuing frustrating situation, just sighed, and the atmosphere became as cold as ice.

The story of Lee Kyung-sil, Son Soo-ah, and Son Bo-seung, who are trying to resolve their old emotional rift, can be seen on the hyper-realistic documentary entertainment show TV CHOSUN, ‘Joseon’s Lovers‘. ‘Joseon’s Lovers‘ will air every Monday at 10 p.m. starting Monday, January 6 next year.
