Comedian Kim Young-chul reflected on the grief his mother must have endured, recalling his older brother who passed away in a traffic accident.

On the 6th, a video titled "How to Enjoyably Read Even Boring Books: Kim Young-chul's 'God-Life' Approach (Follow Along)" was uploaded to the YouTube channel "Kim Young-chul Original."

In the video, Kim Young-chul introduced three books that have shaped his life alongside comedian Jung Sun-hee.

Jung Sun-hee cited author Park Wan-seo's "Just One Word" as a book that comforted her and helped her get back on her feet. She said, "There is a heartbreaking background behind why Park Wan-seo wrote this. She had four daughters and one son, but she lost her young son at the age of 26," adding, "It is said that she poured out her emotions as if vomiting them up from the empty space left by her child who departed suddenly."

She stated, "The book made me face my past and emotions, which I had not wanted to confront, completely once again."

Hearing this, Kim Young-chul recalled his older brother, who died in a traffic accident in 1991. He said, "My older brother went to heaven in a traffic accident in 1991, so I read the book from my mother's perspective," mentioning a passage where author Park Wan-seo, who lost her son, felt distressed seeing herself enjoying food deliciously in daily life.

Kim Young-chul said, "The story is told so honestly, frankly, and simply that it almost makes you laugh out of nowhere, but I wondered what kind of heart my mother had to endure each day."

In particular, he shared a moving memory of his mother watching the family eat. He recalled, "I saw my mother looking at us eating and saying, 'The soybean paste stew I made is really delicious, isn't it? You're eating well,'" adding, "Did my mother sometimes pretend in front of us that she couldn't eat? It became an opportunity to understand my mother better."

Previously, Kim Young-chul had revealed on various broadcasts that he lost his older brother in a traffic accident during his senior year of high school. It was reported that his brother, who had gone out, had promised to buy the chicken Kim Young-chul had said he wanted to eat, but was involved in an accident that evening and never returned.
