May he rest in peace. From the young age of 30s, he clearly imprinted his image with the role of 'daily tusks'. It was reported that Kim Soo-mi, an actor from Kaesong, died suddenly this morning. He was 75 years old. Kim Soo-mi's life journey was loved for her acting skills and her outspokenness. Let's go back to cultural critic Kim Sung-soo. Please come in.

[Kim Sung-soo]
Hello, nice to meet you.

[Anchor]
There are a lot of people who were surprised to hear this, and I was also very surprised. The cause of death is called hyperglycemic shock. Did it hurt a little?

[Kim Sung-soo]
So, when you're on the show, where does it hurt? In particular, most cases of hyperglycemic shock come from diabetic patients. But I've never heard of having diabetes. Of course, if you're an elderly person, you may have things that your sugar level is not well controlled. When you die now, it's said that sugar rose to 500, which is very rapidly, and it's possible even when there's stress or extreme external shocks, so I don't think it's just a chronic disease.

[Anchor]
They said they were preparing a lawsuit because there was a problem of unpaid musical fees these days. So, it's possible to guess that I might have been stressed out. What did your family say about what you've been up to?

[Kim Sung-soo]
First of all, this is what your son said. In the case of my mother in the musical, I know it well, but originally, my mother in the play was first, and as far as I know, actor Kim Soo-mi joined when I went to the musical. Because Kim Soo-mi is also a great singer. So, one of the actors that comes to mind at least once when I do a musical is Kim Soo-mi, who has been converted to a musical by her mother for 14 years. So from Kim Su-mi's point of view, she loved it so much. However, the plagiarism cost of this work with my mother, who originally played as a play, became so difficult that it was not possible to pay the performance fee. But you've endured this, but I can't do it recently. Since he said he didn't get paid at all since last year, he didn't get paid for a long time, so he tried to solve this through a lawsuit, but he said he was stressed out. I was actually in the side dish business right now, but I was a bit clumsy. At that time, the company where your son was a director originally started with Sumi's side dish, but as the business expanded, I think he worked with the company. I think he has suffered a lot over the past two to three years because there have been lawsuits with that company.

[Anchor]
I see. Even after you appeared on a home shopping broadcast recently, people asked if your health has deteriorated since then.

[Park Yongchan]
I actually saw that scene too, and my face was actually swollen and my complexion was not good... and there was a bit of a clueless way of saying it, which I wasn't that worried about. I thought it could be because I was eating while doing it, but from our viewers' point of view, my words were awkward and my hands were shaking. At the same time, he raised the question of whether there was a health problem, but both he and his son were in poor condition. I didn't worry because I explained it like this. But now, it is possible to say that the prognosis was not very good from then on.

[Anchor]
As I saw now, I was active in home shopping or entertainment programs like that, but my main job was an actor. It started as MBC's 3rd recruitment talent in 1970, but there are so many masterpieces, but what are they?

[Kim Sung-soo]
First of all, the country diary that played the role of daily tusks is the best on the show. This country diary is a monumental work. It's surprising that it's a work that will remain in the Korean broadcasting content world and that it lasted for 22 years, but this was the first heyday when he said it himself. The graphic is coming out right now.Ma stamped his face as the investigation team leader, but he certainly did not get the spotlight as an actor, so he played that role in his 30s in the country diary.

[Anchor]
The country diary, drama, which started in 1980.

[Anchor]
I played a role for 22 years.

[Kim Sung-soo]
That's right. I was 29 years old when I first filmed my first work. 29 years old. So I had to play the role of a grandmother before I even turned 30. He showed a monumental performance through the difficulties of having his senior as his son. Perhaps the daily tusks of the rural diary are characters that can remain in our broadcasting content world. The character was not created by the author. Kim Su-mi made it. That's why I remember it from that work. There are many movies in the movie, but it was loved for the family glory series and the role of a very powerful grandmother such as Mapado, and I personally want to point out that the love acting of a very melodramatic old man who said, "I love them." I've always said that I want to do a melodrama. That's why our time is not right, so I think the things that you couldn't do melodrama when you were young, even though you have outstanding beauty, were very unique.

[Anchor]
Was Kim Soo-mi the role of daily tusks in the past? You were offered a role as a grandmother at the young age of 29?

[Kim Sung-soo]
Yes, so at first, it was very hard to understand. What on earth is the writer thinking about leaving it to me? But the writer said that he left this to an actor who is good at acting because he really needs acting skills. Is it because of that? Then I will perfectly recreate the grandmother that the writer wants.

[Anchor]
She was so good that all the programs that came out later were grandmothers.

[Kim Sung-soo]
At the age of 30, I had to continue to play the role of a grandmother, but I'm actually very... [Anchor] When and how old is the picture on the screen?

[Kim Sung-soo]
I know that was when I debuted, but I suggested someone like that to play the role of a grandmother.

[Anchor]
You deserve to be angry.

[Kim Sung-soo]
That's right. And in fact, Park Eun-soo is a son. How can a son make this a grandmother? At that time, the makeup wasn't even that skillful.

[Anchor]
But I still remember the dank hair behind the gray hair.

[Kim Sung-soo]
However, rather than dressing up, he walked around the market and constantly observed the grandmothers, and settled on a grandmother who was completely bent from her walking and posture. So, that part later became a war criminal when he worked with junior actors.

[Anchor]
Grandma is also a grandmother, but she's not just a grandmother, but a sweary grandmother in our memory. I'd like to hear that harsh curse again. There's already a lot of that online. Wasn't Kim Soo-mi's biggest charm an outspoken speech?

[Kim Sung-soo]
In fact, he was really famous for his speech, but when he first started acting, he didn't try to control the audience through his speech. But since the cast didn't come in well, I think you were hosting it little by little from early on. In the case of cooking programs, I think you've already done it a long time ago, so I think you've made an effort to develop your own various abilities. What's surprising is that every time you appear on a variety show, it's important to be very quick to catch how the show goes and what you need now. If the MC is not cool, in fact, we need an excellent self-appeal in the right place, where the cast members create a point of laughter or burst into laughter while cutting off the ongoing boredom. But you did it amazingly well. That's why I was able to perform roles like sub-MCs rather than performers when I was always on entertainment shows. [Anchor] Whenever I see you on the show, you talk really cool and funny. However, Kim Soo-mi is acting, but seniors and juniors praised Kim Soo-mi as a human being.

[Kim Sung-soo]
As far as I remember, I was on a variety show once. Please bring something when this person comes in.

[Anchor]
You're all going to share it?

[Kim Sung-soo]
Put the food on the table and take care of them to eat while saying hello to people they know or don't know. In the case of entertainment talk shows, they record for six or seven hours, and whenever they do, they always took care of them with warm words, pleasant laughter, and food they brought. As a result, his cooking skills were known and he even ran a business, so it's very unfortunate.

[Anchor]
I think I'll remember it for a long time. Actor Kim Soo-mi, and I think I'll remember Kim Soo-mi, who was very human. Once again, I pray for the repose of the deceased. So far, we've been talking about it with cultural critic Kim Sung-soo. Thank you very much. Thank you.
