The tragic bond between late actress Kim Soo-mi and her daughter-in-law, actress Seo Hyo-rim, has garnered attention, leaving many in heartfelt sorrow.
On the morning of the 27th, a funeral service for Kim Soo-mi was held at Hanyang University’s funeral hall in Seongdong-gu, Seoul. Among those carrying her casket were entertainers Jung Dong-min, Jung Joon-ha, and Yoon Jeong-soo, who referred to her as a mother figure. Seo Hyo-rim, who had a close relationship with Kim, emotionally cried out, "Mom, don’t go," expressing her grief with heartfelt apologies for the struggles Kim had endured.
Seo Hyo-rim married Kim’s son, Jeong Myeong-ho, in 2019, and they have a daughter together. Even before their marriage, Seo maintained a strong bond with Kim, often referring to her as "Mom,” which highlighted their close relationship. Kim even gifted Seo with a house, underscoring the depth of their familial ties.
Kim Soo-mi unexpectedly passed away at the age of 75 due to cardiac arrest, having been admitted to the hospital earlier for health issues. She had previously addressed concerns about her health after experiencing symptoms during a live home shopping broadcast, insisting that dental work was the cause of her speech difficulties. The timing of her death, following her denial of health concerns, adds to the tragedy of her passing.
