Chef Kim Hee-eun reported on her parents' divorce and her mother's cancer battle.
The SBS entertainment program "Dongsang Imong Season 2 - You Are My Destiny" (hereinafter referred to as "Dongsang Imong 2"), which aired on the 24th, showed Chef Kim Hee-eun confessing her heartbreaking family history.
Chef Kim Hee-eun said, "As soon as I was born, I didn't have my mother," adding, "Of course my mother gave birth to me. But when I go back to my childhood memories, I only had my grandmother and father," he said.
He continued, "When I was in kindergarten, I was curious. There was an album that I saw for the first time while organizing my dad's room. There was a handsome and pretty fairy there. I thought, "This must be my mom," and quickly covered it. I didn't think my dad should know what I saw," he added.
Chef Kim Hee-eun said she grew up with her grandmother, not her mother, due to her parents' divorce. "When I asked my dad, 'Why don't I have a mother,' he said, 'I left it because you're not my son,' and 'Don't talk about my mother,'" he said. "I didn't wonder for a long time because I thought, 'I shouldn't be curious about my mother's story in my life."

Chef Kim Hee-eun said she first met her mother at the age of 18. He said, "Then, if I was in the second year of high school, I thought it was time to see you, so I said I would see my mom with a determination," and added, "At that time, my mom came up by KTX from Gwangju and decided to meet me at Yongsan Station."
"I don't remember if I was nervous at that time or if I missed you," he said. "But I remember one thing. My eyes turned red in the crowd, and one person came and I thought, "That's my mother." I can recognize it at a glance," he added.
Chef Kim Hee-eun, who recalled the time, said, "My mother came and said the first thing to me was 'Baby, my dog.' I've never said mom, so I said, 'Excuse me'. When she heard that, she sat down and cried."
Chef Kim Hee-eun also revealed her mother's current health status. He said, "My mother is sick. My mother is fighting cancer.He is in Gwangju for treatment," he said.
