Comedian Bae Young-man opened up about the pain of suddenly losing his young daughter more than 20 years ago.
Bae Young-man appeared on MBN current-affairs program ‘Special World,’ which aired on the 3rd, and revealed that he had raised his three children alone after divorcing.
The death of his young daughter was behind his divorce. Bae Young-man recalled the painful past, saying, “One day, I received a call from a hospital in Ilsan New Town. They said my wife had collapsed and been brought in. When I got to the hospital, my wife was lying in the emergency room, and they told me the baby had arrived dead. My daughter, who had smiled brightly that morning, was dead.”
He said his daughter’s death also affected his marriage. “From then on, our conflicts became extremely severe. It was so difficult that we couldn’t maintain family life,” he said. “After losing one child, the family fell apart. We should have embraced and supported each other, but that didn’t work out. We had no choice but to go our separate ways,” he stated.
“I ended up raising all the children myself,” he continued. “My second daughter is now married and living well, and my youngest recently found a job and is working steadily. But I’m worried because my eldest son still hasn’t found his footing,” he said, revealing his honest feelings.
Meanwhile, Bae Young-man made his debut through the 1983 Munhwa Broadcasting Corporation (MBC) comedy contest and became known for the catchphrase “That’s right.”
