Comedian Shin Gi-ru recently opened up about her emotional state after suddenly losing her mother.

On the 16th, Shin appeared on the YouTube show "New Woman" to share her recent updates.

Shin said, "I'm just going about my life, doing broadcasts and meeting friends as usual. I laugh, then suddenly cry without reason. When I cry, I lose moisture, get hungry, and eat. Then I cry again." Shin's mother passed away suddenly in March. Comedians including Jo Hye-ryeon and fellow colleagues and seniors kept vigil at the wake.

Shin also shared, "Recently, on Children's Day, tears just came out suddenly. My mother used to buy me everything I asked for. Since I was born, this is the first time I've felt such a strong craving for food. I think it's because I feel empty inside. I didn't expect her to leave so soon, so every moment fills me with regret. Just thinking about it brings only regret, and I decided I must stop and focus on the good things I did. But I realized I haven't done enough."

Lee Gyeong-sil, who has a mother over 90 years old, empathized, saying, "Tears fall, but the spoon keeps going up. That's sad too. I was even annoyed with myself for being like that." She continued, "A few years ago, I thought my mother's underwear was too worn out, so I bought and sent her 12 new pairs. When she saw them, she burst into tears. I think for parents, there's nothing big we can do except show care in everyday ways," and comforted Shin.

Shin also shared how she succeeded with a new character she had never had before. Regarding the podcast "Yuk-sa Cider," one of the programs that created her current character, Shin explained, "An adult product PPL came in. Hong Hyun-hee and Kim Young-hee, who were working with me, were already doing broadcasts, and I realized no one else could do this except me. I tried it myself and even did a review."

She also revealed behind-the-scenes details about her appearance on "Turkeys on the Block," which rapidly boosted her popularity. Shin said, "Lee Yong-jin told me to speak comfortably, so I went on and placed an e-cigarette on the table and spoke naturally. That's what caught attention. At the time, they said they couldn't even show my footage from above. I think this eventually became the beginning of celebrities speaking comfortably on broadcasts." Shin added, "Still, as a woman and a celebrity, I have never shown myself smoking on a broadcast before."

Additionally, Shin shared various episodes, including stories about her husband's relationship slump, his diet tips, her resolve to quit smoking, her pursuit of changes in comedy codes, and anecdotes about drinking with junior comedian Lee Seon-min. In particular, regarding her husband's weight loss of about 40 kg, she said, "He must have thought, 'If I look like her, I shouldn't gain weight like that.'"
