SBS 'Curious Story Y', which aired on the 17th, revealed the story of a grandmother who cannot leave the nursing home, which is about to close.
Choi Soon-nam (pseudonym), who suffers from short-term dementia, was in the teaching profession from the age of 19 when she was young until the age of 65," he introduced himself. The grandmother, who has a son, is staying at a nursing home, and the nursing home decided to close its business earlier this year due to financial difficulties, so the grandmother has to be discharged.
In particular, Mrs. Choi's son, Park, has been behind on medical expenses for more than a year and has been out of contact since November last year, making it impossible for him to stay.
The elderly woman with short-term dementia writes down her cell phone number everywhere around her so that she doesn't forget her son's phone number even at the nursing home, and always waits for her son's phone call, which she doesn't know when he will come. The grandmother said "My son is in the U.S.," but Park's phone once used had his recent search history, and the place he accessed was in Korea.
Park's acquaintance said, "(Park) is running a business, and it worked out well at first. It was very famous for seafood stew," he said. However, as the business ended in failure, Park ended up with a huge debt. An acquaintance said "He couldn't let go of the fact that he was a talent in the past. In fact, I had to go to work hard or daily, but my back was bad. Then he said, `Now I'm going to work,' and I heard that he developed cosmetics and medical equipment.'
The production team heard from a former co-worker of Park's company that he had been working overseas as a public relations director for a while. Park said she never sent her mother's medical expenses on time. The head of the nursing home said "After sending 5 million won at the end, it continues to be unpaid."
The grandmother, who has been teaching for a long time, could have paid for medical care with her pension, but Park has a bank account, so she is not even protected by the state. The head of the nursing home said "You can't help even if you get a pension of millions of won. All nursing homes accept it (if it was difficult to make a living). Basic recipients are 100% from the country, so there is a place to go just by coming and opening a bank account and transferring a pension bank account," he lamented.
Park is an actor who once made his face known as an actor specializing in historical dramas, and also made his name known in historical dramas with his role as a 'death specialist'.
Since then, Park has contacted the production team belatedly. Park said "Isn't the nursing home indebted. I couldn't contact you because I was trying to find out how to solve it in any way. "I can't communicate with people because I have depression in my panic disorder," he said, but he didn't neglect my mother.
He then said "I'm going to take care of it now. I've searched all over the place. I'm going to solve it. I don't even have a house, and I'm living in the same house, so how should I deal with it?"
When the story was told, netizens said "Is it a modern-day Goryeojang?" "I feel sorry for a mother waiting for her son like that.", "That's too much." He responded.
