Lee Pil-mo's appearance fee, I give it to my mother for 20 years..I saw it later that it was a building (a table for four)



Actor Lee Pil-mo expressed his longing for his late mother.

The daily life of actor Lee Pil-mo, who has been in his 27th year since his debut, was revealed in the Channel A entertainment program 'Best Talk Documentary for 4 People' which aired on the 15th. Lee Pil-mo invited Lee Jong-hyuk and Kim Min-kyo, who are classmates of Seoul National University of Arts and have been friends for 32 years, to their home.

When asked on the show, `Did my mother do well in financial technology?' Lee Pil-mo answered "That's right. The thing I'm not good at is money management. In the past, there was a house in Bangbae-dong, and my mother was called to the side again. It's all thanks to my mother that I can afford to some extent now."

He said "My father had three children and never made money in his life. He lived almost as if he were Han Liang," he said, referring to his mother, who has been in charge of the family's economy alone for a long time.

Then "My mother lived with a lifetime of savings. When I received a fee for acting, I spent a few million won and gave it to my mother if it exceeded 10 million won. I gave you 20 years like that," he said, surprising.

Lee Pil-mo "My mother started investing with that money. It's something I've never done in my life. Even while acting, 'What are you doing?' He called me, and when I said 'I'm acting', he said 'Come quickly and stamp' If you go there, it's a building," he recalled.




In addition, when I asked my mother at every important moment in my life, she always gave me a clear path. Thanks to the coast, I was able to live as an actor until now," he said, expressing his deep respect.

However, Lee Pil-mo's mother died of cerebral infarction in March 2023. He said "When my mother died, I wanted to do everything I could on the way to the last one. We set up a mortuary that uses the whole floor, and we prepared all the food and funeral procedures without thinking about the cost," he said.

Lee Pil-mo also recalled his last memories with his mother while he was alive. "My mother first took a plane on a trip to Jeju Island. 'It's flying!' It's still clear that she liked it like a girl. "I love that memory, so I walked 100km of Seogwipo 11 courses alone last year. As I walked, I cried alone because I was overwhelmed by my mother's thoughts."




He "I still keep the clothes my mother wore when she went to the hospital"I expressed my longing.

There was also a shocking confession. Lee Pil-mo said "I still haven't told my father about my mother's death." "Four days after my mother was hospitalized, my father was also hospitalized, and my mother died three months later. My father had poor hearing and poor memory, so I thought a lot about how to convey my mother's obituary, but in the end, I couldn't tell him until now."

Then "I think my father is also feeling vaguely. She doesn't ask anything about her mother. It's been two years since he died, but he never mentioned it. So sometimes I think 'Did you forget your mother?' he said, causing indifference.

Park Kyung-rim, who heard this, said "Your father may not ask you on purpose. The moment I hear that, my mother's death becomes a reality. If you don't say it, perhaps it feels like you're still somewhere," he said, cautiously consoling.
