Comedian Lee Sung-mi expressed her longing for the late actresses Kim Ja-ok and Kim Young-ae, who passed away due to cancer.

The episode of TV Chosun's 'Perfect Life' aired on the 24th was prepared as a sixth-anniversary special, featuring panelist Lee Sung-mi as the client, with her daily life revealed alongside her close friend Moon Young-mi.

That day, Lee Sung-mi said, "I didn't think surgery would be the end. I thought, 'I'm alive now.' I thought I should live the life I was given well, but I had to undergo 30 sessions of radiation therapy. My body felt heavy, like candle wax dripping. Even after treatment ended, they told me to take chemotherapy drugs."

She continued, "I simply couldn't take the chemotherapy. It was so painful that I could barely open my eyes, and I thought, 'I'd rather not live.' I wondered what the point was of extending life to this extent, so I thought, 'Even if I die, it's better to live happily today.'"

She added, "I felt like I was falling apart just to live a little longer. Because of this, I developed depression and found everything tedious. When I told the doctor I wanted to stop, he said no, but then I stopped taking the medication."

Lee Sung-mi also recalled the late Kim Ja-ok and Kim Young-ae. She said, "When Kim Ja-ok and my older sister Kim Young-ae passed away after being diagnosed with cancer, and recently I heard that Park Mi-seon was also diagnosed with cancer, my heart broke. After Sister Ja-ok passed, I struggled for several months. Not being able to see her, I wondered, 'I'll go there too, so how should I live?' It made me reflect on my life's path."

She said, "I've come to think more and more that I shouldn't live in a complicated and noisy way, but rather that I should live today faithfully and enjoy it before I go."
