Son Sook has been suffering from macular degeneration for 10 years, so her eyes are always dark because she can't read the letters (Yuquiz)



Actor Son Sook confessed that she has been suffering from macular degeneration for 10 years.

Actors Park Geun-hyung and Son Sook, who have 124 years of acting experience, appeared on tvN 'You Quiz on the Block', which aired on the 29th.

On this day, Son Sook asked about the benefits of getting older and said, "First of all, I feel comfortable. The boiling subsides a little and the greed goes down. In fact, I only played the main character in the play. But one day, the role of a grandmother came, so I wanted to put it down. It is ugly to insist on such things at this age. You have to catch up. The greed is gone. I don't really think about any role these days. Will you give me the main character of a melodrama. It's fun to just come out with one or two scenes in one script."

Son Sook, who has been suffering from macular degeneration for 10 years, records and memorizes lines, says "I can't read the text. In the past, I liked to read books, so a day went by quickly when I read books, but one day my eyes got completely bad and I couldn't read. Sometimes I wondered why God took away the only thing I could. I was thinking about what to do, but my daughter recorded my lines, so I listen to it lying down every evening. If you keep listening, you'll memorize your lines in a week."

Then "At first, my daughter recommended me to listen, but I couldn't do it. It was so different from what I saw. But I couldn't do it, so I had no choice but to gradually go with listening. It's been 10 years since I suffered from macular degeneration because my eyes got a little worse, but my eyes are always dark. Other actors hold me when I leave after I'm out"He confessed.
