Actress Kim Young-ok (88) shared her candid thoughts on how her memory has changed with age.
On the 28th, a video titled "A Special Day with Grandma Young-ok and Haru and Iru-ne: A Boat Ride and a Delicious Dinner!" was uploaded to the YouTube channel "Kim Young-ok."
The video captured Kim Young-ok making memories with Haru and Iru-ne, participants in "Mumjeonjeol" (Legend of the Unknown).
In the video, Iru-ne expressed her admiration for Kim Young-ok, saying, "My life goal is to stay healthy like you and continue my activities for a long time without getting sick." In response, Kim Young-ok joked, "I have already been around for a very long time." She then said, "Please let me not forget you all until the day I leave. That is all I wish for," conveying her affection for her juniors.
However, amidst the pleasant conversation, she also opened up about her honest concerns regarding her memory. When Haru said, "I think today will be truly unforgettable," Kim Young-ok replied, "You must not forget it. I am afraid that I might just forget it on my own."
She stated, "A few days ago, I couldn't quite recall what happened, and that made me feel anxious for no reason," while adding, "I don't forget things like that all the time."
She further added, "I still memorize lines, so it seems to help. Because I keep training and memorizing them countless times," noting that her consistent acting activities seem to aid in maintaining her memory.
Born in 1938, Kim Young-ok debuted in 1957. She has received much love for her appearances in dramas such as "Old Gold Grass" (Yetnal-ui Geumjandi), "Old Miss Diary," and "Coffee Prince."
