Taejin-ah 'I sleep with my wife with dementia on a string, thank you for being alive' (Unforgettable duet)
Singer Tae Jin-ah revealed a touching story with his wife Ok-kyung, who suffers from dementia.

In MBN Unforgettable Duet, which will be broadcast on the 16th, singer Kang A-rija appears with her mother, who has been suffering from dementia since three years ago to share her daily life with her. Kang Ae-rija said "Mother 'If you don't abandon me, I want to be next to you. Will you live with me?I was so heartbroken when you said ' and wept. She confessed "As a daughter, I said of course I should serve you, but I went into the room and cried my eyes out."

Cho Hye-ryeon, listening to this story, deeply sympathized with her, saying, `How hard would it have been for a mother to ask her daughter for help when she didn't want to be a burden to her child?' and Jang Yoon-jung also said, `I understand how hard it must have been for her to ask such a favor to her daughter," he added.

Tae Jin-ah, who deeply sympathized with the story of Kang Ae-rija's family, also shared a fond anecdote with her wife, Ok-kyung. Taejinah says "My wife holds my hand every night before she goes to sleep 'I love you honey, I'm sorry, thank you. Please don't abandon me. I'm asking you to stay with me," he said, touching.

Tae Jin-ah continued "Once, my wife woke me up because she wanted to go to the bathroom while sleeping, but I couldn't get up and went alone, and I fell, hurt my arm, and hurt my knee. After that, I tie my hands with a string, and the other side around my wife's wrist. I put a paper under the blanket so that I could break it even if my wife moved a little."

He also expressed his deep love for his wife, saying "I am grateful just to have her by my side despite all this."

MBN Chuseok Special Unforgettable Duet is a touching reality music show that presents a duet stage with performers suffering from dementia and their families who remember them, and it will provide comfort and emotion to families suffering from difficult diseases of dementia.
