Comedian Bae Young-man, 66, opened up about the pain of his family falling apart after the sudden death of his young daughter.<\/p>\n

The MBN cultural affairs program \u2018Special World,\u2019 which aired on the 3rd, featured Bae Young-man discussing his divorce more than 20 years ago.<\/p>\n

Bae Young-man recalled, \u201cI received a phone call. It was from a major hospital in Ilsan New Town, and my wife had collapsed.\u201d He continued, \u201cWhen I got to the hospital, she was lying in the emergency room, and they told me the baby had arrived dead.\u201d<\/p>\n

He went on to describe the shock of losing his young daughter, saying, \u201cThey told me that the daughter who had been smiling brightly that morning had died.\u201d<\/p>\n

His daughter\u2019s sudden death left deep wounds for both Bae Young-man and his former wife. \u201cFrom then on, the conflict became extremely severe. She was suffering so much that she could no longer maintain family life. It was incredibly difficult. It was very difficult for me, too,\u201d he said. \u201cLosing that one child caused the entire family to fall apart.\u201d<\/p>\n

The two eventually divorced after the tragedy. Bae Young-man added, \u201cLooking back, I should have embraced her and moved forward together, but I couldn\u2019t.\u201d He continued, \u201cBeing together was too painful, so we had no choice but to go our separate ways.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bae Young-man also explained, \u201cI ended up taking full responsibility for raising the children,\u201d saying that he raised his three children alone for about 20 years after the divorce. His daughter is now married, while his youngest child has found a job and is living in a company dormitory.<\/p>\n

He also revealed his conflict with his eldest son. Bae Young-man said he had been particularly strict with his eldest son because he wanted his children, above all, to succeed. As a result, he grew distant from his son and even cut off contact for a while after a major argument three years ago.<\/p>\n

After reconciling with his son, Bae Young-man opened up: \u201cWhy do you think your father raised all three of you to the very end without abandoning you? It\u2019s because I felt I couldn\u2019t live without you. I never considered it a hardship; I made it this far by looking at you,\u201d he said. \u201cI suppose that\u2019s why I nagged so much.\u201d<\/p>\n

He also expressed regret, saying that he had thought berating his son was \u201can expression of love, but it wasn\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n
