Singer Hyun-sook shared the story of discovering 38 million won among the personal effects of her late mother.

On the episode of the JTBC variety show 'Knowing Bros' broadcast on the 17th, Lee Gye-in, Hyun-sook, Kim Yeon-ja, and Kim Shin-young appeared as guests.

That day, Hyun-sook recalled the past, saying, "I saved up money, but I couldn't give her much. In the 1970s, I gave my mother 1,000 won, 2,000 won, and 10,000 won at a time."

She continued, "Later, my mother collapsed from a stroke. After she passed away, I saw that the underwear I had bought for her was still under the blanket with the price tags attached. Additionally, there was 38 million won inside," revealing details that left everyone astonished.

Hyun-sook stated, "My mother saved that money without spending it so she could send me and my younger sibling off to get married," conveying her mother's affectionate heart.

She said, "Since my mother suffered at the hospital, I thought about whether we should use the money to fund surgeries for children with leukemia who were in the hospital." She revealed, "I added to that amount and donated 100 million won to the hospital where my mother had been treated. We funded surgeries for 38 children with leukemia," evoking deep emotion.

Meanwhile, Hyun-sook also shared the story behind a monument erected in her hometown to honor her filial piety. She explained that she had sung to make her parents happy, but she was so burdened by having a stone monument erected for herself while still alive that she could not sleep. She added that due to the mental stress at the time, she lost 8 kg in weight.
