This interaction not only highlighted their familial banter but also showcased her candid personality, which fans found endearing.

I still feel sorry for my nieces and nephews. I didn't have a place to stay, so she let me stay at her house. As a trainee, I worked a lot of part-time jobs, and I had to cross the Han River from the practice room to get home because I didn't have transportation money.

It was a house where my sister, her husband, two kids, and mother-in-law lived.
