The court sentenced Mr. Kwak to life imprisonment for the charge of instigating the murder and ordered him to pay Song Sun-mi over 1.31 billion won in damages. However, the sense of loss that cannot be filled with monetary compensation and the reality of having to raise a child alone lay before her.

'I Don't Find It Difficult Just Because I'm Raising Her Alone'

Contrary to what many people expect, Song Sun-mi was calmly accepting her life as a single mom. She candidly shared, "I don't find it difficult just because I'm raising her alone. I was a bit worried when she was younger. When she was 4 or 5 years old, I had to play with her, but physically it was a bit challenging for me."

She revealed that when she felt physically limited, she sought realistic solutions, such as asking her manager for help. "At those times, I asked my manager to play with her," acknowledging that receiving help from those around her is also a way of parenting.

The Mother She Wants to Show Her Daughter

Heart Tests Due to Health Deterioration

However, apart from her strong will, Song Sun-mi confessed that she has been experiencing health difficulties recently. "These days, I can't sleep well at night," she shared, "I have one house, but the house next door is under construction, and they cut the sewer pipe. That's the most stressful thing."

As stress accumulated, physical symptoms began to appear. "Not long ago, I had heart pain and got tested, but there was no problem with my heart; they said there is debris building up in my blood vessels. I'm taking medication," she revealed, indicating that she is currently receiving treatment.

Struggling with Sleep Disorders and Migraines

Song Sun-mi also shared that she is suffering from migraines and sleep disorders. "I have migraines, so I can't get a good night's sleep and wake up every 2-3 hours before going back to sleep," she candidly disclosed the difficulties of her daily life.
