Actress Choi Ji-soo shed tears after repaying her student loans in full while working part-time jobs.
In the episode of MBC's 'I Live Alone' airing on the 29th, Choi Ji-soo's busy and diligent daily life in her one-room house is revealed.
In the released photos, the moment Choi Ji-soo repays her student loans for the first time in nine years is captured. Having balanced acting and part-time work for nine years to repay her student loans, Choi calls her mother to share the joyful moment. She boasts, "I have no debt now!" but bursts into tears after her mother's warm words.
Choi Ji-soo honestly confesses, "I didn't know I could cry." She explains, "Entering school was my choice, and taking out the student loan was my responsibility," revealing why she repaid her student loans on her own through various part-time jobs without relying on her parents' help. She also vows to continue working part-time and not stop.
Additionally, Choi Ji-soo reveals her most desired plan once she finishes repaying her student loans and heads somewhere with a shopping list. With her shopping cart filled to the brim, she boasts of a "flex," saying, "I bought three times more than what I usually buy." This raises curiosity about what exactly filled Choi Ji-soo's shopping cart.
Meanwhile, Choi Ji-soo prepares a surprise birthday party for her father. Having cooked and baked a cake herself, she expresses her admiration for her father, saying, "I think I inherited his perseverance." She also shares her feelings from when she was nominated for the Best New Actress in the Broadcasting category at the 62nd Baeksang Arts Awards, drawing attention.
Meanwhile, 'I Live Alone' airs every Friday at 11:10 p.m.
