Kim Sang-hyuk wept while thinking of his deceased father.
In the episode of KBS2's 'Salim Nam Season 2' aired on the afternoon of the 10th, Kim Sang-hyuk visited his father's grave with his mother.
In this episode, the first Salim Nam featured siblings Park Seo-jin and Park Hyo-jung. Seo-jin went to find Hyo-jung, who did not come out when called for a meal, and it eventually escalated into a physical struggle.
Seo-jin mentioned Hyo-jung's bucket list from a previous broadcast, saying, "Are you not getting married? Do you know how much hair you have after drying? Then cut it. Have you forgotten your bucket list?" referring to her wish to cut her hair short.
Seo-jin strongly persuaded Hyo-jung, saying, "Your hair holds the past of our stylist, the ski instructor, and your GED past. Think of it as solidifying your heart and cutting it short. If you cut your hair short, I won't mention the stylist again," to which Hyo-jung promised, "If you bring it up again, I'll marry Yoyomi unnie."
Upon arriving at the hair salon, Hyo-jung said, "It hurts my heart," and tried to run away, but ultimately cut her hair herself. After transforming into a short hairstyle, Hyo-jung said, "Let's take a picture. I'm going to make a passport."
After the shoot and some editing, Hyo-jung transformed into a woman with a 24-inch waist in an instant.
To fill the next bingo square, Hyo-jung took Seo-jin to a driving school. It turned out that Hyo-jung was challenging herself to get a Class 1 large license, saying, "Many young women do it, and I don't think they can't drive."
Before the formal class, Hyo-jung decided to drive a bus herself. Seo-jin, who was with her, asked the instructor, "Have you ever had an accident while practicing?" expressing his nervousness. After a brief explanation, Hyo-jung took the driver's seat and pressed the clutch.
Before going up the hill, the bus suddenly rolled back, and Seo-jin shouted, "Whoa~ Brake!" However, Hyo-jung quickly adapted to driving the bus and received praise, "This is about 70-80 points out of 100. You're doing well."
The second Salim Nam featured Kim Sang-hyuk. Upon arriving at the park where his father is resting, his mother was surprised and asked, "Did you come to Mugunghwa Park? To see your father?" Sang-hyuk replied, "It's also Parents' Day, and I thought it would be nice to see my father with you. The reason you don't come often is that you think of dad a lot. I wanted to take this opportunity to see him together."
Eventually, his mother quietly wiped away tears as she recalled memories with her husband. Sang-hyuk cooked his father's favorite stir-fried pork and said, "I wanted to cook for him this time."
Kim Sang-hyuk expressed, "I think I felt a bit upset about Parents' Day after my father passed away. With Children's Day, my birthday, and Parents' Day, I just want May to pass quickly."
At that moment, someone called Kim Sang-hyuk from behind, surprising both his mother and Sang-hyuk, who stood up to greet his father's former colleague. The colleague reminisced, "I worked with your dad at KEPCO and was close to him. Your mom was very worried when your dad didn't come home past midnight. But later, we got a call from the police. When he was cut, it doesn't hurt at first. You feel the pain when you see the blood."
As soon as Sang-hyuk saw his father's colleague, he burst into tears, saying, "I was so surprised. I thought my dad would walk in with you..." The colleague comforted him, saying, "Your father was like a white dandelion. A dandelion doesn't waste anything from its roots to its leaves. Your father was that kind of dandelion. But it's a pity he left us too soon. I'm sorry I couldn't be there for you, Sang-hyuk."
Looking at his father's grave, the colleague continued, "It seems like Sang-hyuk has grown well. I think you have overcome many difficulties, and I feel relieved that your father took good care of you. Your wife, who was very worried, seems to be at ease knowing that her sons are taking good care of her. He used to say that he was strict with the kids but always felt pain in his heart. He worried that if he wasn't there, his wife would struggle. Now, it seems like you can be at ease. Although it's been a long time since I came, I will create more opportunities to see you. Let's promise to meet again. I'm sorry for coming after such a long time."
Sang-hyuk's mother said, "In the past, I only resented him for leaving first, but these days I miss him so much. I think I've finally matured. I have grandchildren to see, but I feel it's a waste to see them alone. Your father would have liked it. I miss him so much. If I could at least say hello, it wouldn't be so sad. The unexpected farewell was so sad that I locked the door and cried under the blanket. I miss you... Please take care of yourself there. We are doing well, so please help Sang-hyuk do well and take care of yourself," and she wept.
‘Salim Nam’ airs every Saturday at 9:15 PM.
