Actress Choi Ji-soo shed tears after repaying her student loans.
On the 29th episode of MBC's variety program 'I Live Alone', the daily life of actress Choi Ji-soo, who made a strong impression as Kang No-ra in the drama 'Undercover Miss Hong', was featured.
That day, immediately after finishing cleaning her house, Choi Ji-soo accessed her banking app via her phone.
When Choi Ji-soo revealed, "I have finally paid off all my student loans," the cast members applauded and offered their heartfelt congratulations.

"The part-time job earnings have all come in. I am still working part-time at a restaurant and as a babysitter, and people have been very supportive. They see me once and come back again to give me vitamins. It has been about nine years. It took a long time to repay with part-time earnings. I even wore a Goyang mask and handed out flyers, working hard at part-time jobs to pay it off," she explained.
She added, "My parents offered to help, but since it was my own school, I felt it was right for me to repay it myself."
Choi Ji-soo immediately called her mother to share the news, shedding tears. Her mother also became emotional, saying, "You worked hard to pay it off. I am sorry I couldn't help more. Let's only walk on a flower path from now on," turning the scene into a sea of tears.
Even after hanging up the phone, Choi Ji-soo continued wiping away tears for a while. "It was strangely empty. I didn't expect to cry. I thought I would smile and say, 'It's finally over,' on this day, but I felt empty. Then I thought of my mom. When I hung up the phone, I remembered the nine years that had passed," she shared.
