Comedian Lee Gyeong-sil revealed the health secret of her 98-year-old mother.

On the 20th, a video titled "Nunas Are Making Excuses" was released on the YouTube channel "Tteuntteun." The video featured comedians Jo Hye-ryeon, Lee Gyeong-sil, and Kim Ji-sun as guests.

That day, Lee Gyeong-sil shared updates on her 98-year-old mother, saying, "She comes for regular checkups every six months," and added, "Due to her advanced age, she has thyroid issues, high blood pressure, and poor kidney function, so she takes medication."

She continued, "Even though my mother takes her medicine every morning, she says, 'With this, when could I die?' and laughed."

Lee Gyeong-sil also introduced her mother's strict eating habits. She said, "My mother eats very neatly. She even washes bananas and tangerines before eating them." She added, "When I asked, 'You're worried about living too long, so why wash them so thoroughly?' she replied, 'They use a lot of pesticides.'"

She also stated, "After brushing her teeth following dinner, she absolutely refuses any food, no matter how delicious it is," revealing that intermittent fasting has become a habit.

She also shared an anecdote about her mother's dental health. Lee Gyeong-sil said, "I took my mother to the dentist, and the director recommended implants instead of dentures." She added, "She was in her early 80s at the time, and he said it was possible because her gums were strong."

She continued, "She had about six implants installed, and the cost exceeded 30 million won." She added, "At the time, the director joked, 'To get your money's worth, you have to live a long time.'"

Lee Gyeong-sil also revealed the story of her mother undergoing artificial joint surgery at age 90. She said, "Initially, they planned to operate on only one side and wait a year for the other, but my mother insisted, 'I don't know when or how things will happen, so I'll just endure it for now.'"

She continued, "However, when she turned 90, she said, 'Gyeong-sil, I think I need to do this side too. Since I'm not dying and staying like this, I should do this side too.' Eventually, she underwent artificial joint surgery on the other side at age 90, and now she is 98," leaving everyone in awe.
