Actress Son Su-ah (32) shared the burden and inner thoughts she has felt while living as the daughter of comedian Lee Kyung-sil (60).

On the 21st, the YouTube channel 'Our Mom Lee Kyung-sil' released a video showing Son and Lee undergoing a TCI (Temperament and Character Inventory) test and consulting with a specialist.

In the video, both received a score of 100 on items assessing their tendencies toward fairness, principles, and equity.

Son said, "Mom usually wants to introduce me by saying, 'She passed an audition and is currently active in productions.'" The two appeared together in the play "I Love You, Mom."

Lee said, "People will think, 'She's on stage because she's Lee Kyung-sil's daughter.' I feel so sorry that children hear such talk," adding, "I hate the hurt those words cause the kids. I'm fine with negative comments or criticism directed at me," as she became emotional.

Son also said, "It was frustrating to have to say, 'I auditioned fairly,' even though I work just as hard as anyone else." She continued, "I think that is my responsibility. Not just me, but others in similar situations likely face the same assignment, and everyone has their own assignment in life. Mom no longer needs to tell people that I got this role through an audition," comforting Lee.

Son revealed, "The figure of 'mother' is very large in my life, and I think I feel a strong thirst for her." She added, "During my 11 years studying abroad, I couldn't see Mom often. Even before that, the things I heard most often through my grandmother were, 'Don't bring shame to your mother's face,' and 'If you do something strange, our family will be in big trouble.'"

Among various test items, Son scored 100 on sensation seeking. Lee scored 5, showing that the mother and daughter had opposite temperaments.
