"The only hostage to bring Mom back" Lee Seung-yeon's childhood memories

Lee Seung-yeon recalled what kind of existence she was between her mother and father in the past. In the video, Lee Seung-yeon said that while she was a substitute for her mother, she was simultaneously the "only hostage and hostage" who could make her mother return. Regarding the reason why her father did not send her to her mother, she explained it was because if he sent her, he would be severed from her mother forever.

Additionally, Lee Seung-yeon revealed that she heard late about her father's plan to take her away and educate her during her childhood. Upon hearing the story that her father, who was living a stable life at the time, had intended to take her and focus on her education, such as having her learn foreign languages, she expressed her feelings at the time, saying, "It was a bit touching."

"A life endured with lies"... Father's infidelity and mother's way of survival

Lee Seung-yeon continued with specific mentions regarding the point where the family tragedy began. Lee Seung-yeon revealed that her mother was in a difficult economic situation in the past and exposed the fact that there was another woman by her father's side at that time. In this process, the situation where all the money her mother earned in Japan disappeared and the circumstances of her father's infidelity were mentioned.

Lee Seung-yeon described her life at that time as "a life of lies." She explained the situation where her mother had to endure by lying for survival to avoid social stigma and to appear normal, as divorce was not easy given the social atmosphere at the time. Lee Seung-yeon spoke for her mother's hardships, saying, "It wasn't easy to get a divorce back then. Because it was so hard as a woman, she tried her best to appear normal and not lose."

"It would have been tremendous if Mom had been there" Late communication and regret

Recalling the memory of meeting her mother again around the age of twenty, Lee Seung-yeon expressed her feelings about finally being able to bring up the questions she had not been able to ask her mother until now. Mentioning the deficiency caused by her mother's absence and the pain she had to endure because of it, she said, "If Mom had been there, I would have become a truly tremendous person."

While saying she is a person who does not know affection well, Lee Seung-yeon confessed that she had held onto the intention of not letting her stepmother raise her until the time she got married. The video concluded with Lee Seung-yeon sharing the weight of the life she had experienced and her longing for her mother.
