On 'Malja Show', musical actor Hong Jimin revealed that her 95-year-old mother is battling dementia, sharing her heartfelt emotions.

The episode of KBS 2TV's variety program 'Malja Show,' which aired on the 20th, was produced as the first installment of a regional communication project with a special focus on Changwon. This edition of 'Malja Show' received applications from over 15,000 audience members, and 1,800 viewers attended in person.

During the broadcast, the concerns of a working mother who has been married for 29 years about "empty nest syndrome" drew attention. The story contributor said, "I feel like I didn't raise my children well. But now that I look back, they've all grown up and moved to Seoul," adding, "I don't know how to comfort this emptiness."

Kim Young-hee, known as 'Malja Halmae,' offered comfort by saying, "Even children who have left for other places will surely miss their mother." She advised, "Instead of feeling empty when seeing an empty nest, I hope you fill your hearts together with your spouse."

Musical actor Hong Jimin, appearing as a guest, spoke from the perspective of a daughter who had moved to Seoul. She shared, "My 95-year-old mother is currently suffering from dementia and has become like a complete baby," adding, "Taking care of her has made me realize that I now need to become my mother's mother."

Hong Jimin confessed, "Since my mother was diagnosed with dementia, she says 'I love you' even more often. I regret not expressing more affection when she was younger." She then warmly added, "I hope people will express their love to those around them to the point of being excessive."

Touched by Hong Jimin's sincere words, one audience member shed tears and drew attention. Having sent his mother to a nursing home three months ago, he sent a video message filled with heartfelt wishes that she would not get sick, moving viewers deeply.
