[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kang Juhee] Singer Kim Hyerim shed tears while recalling the late Na Ae-sim.

On the SBS variety show 'Burning Youth - Bulcheong Special' aired on the 11th, Kim Hyerim revealed that her mother was the famous singer, the late Na Ae-sim.

That day, while admiring the LP records displayed in the attic, Kim Hyerim recalled her mother and said, "My mother was a famous movie actress and singer. But my older sister never saw her mother perform. My mother was just my mom; since she gave birth to me late, I didn’t know about her singing career. Even my friends didn’t believe it," she confessed.

In response, Christian said his mother was also a singer and said, "I also never saw my mother perform. She suddenly married my father and gave up her dream of being a singer to focus on family. She wasn’t very famous, but she collaborated with famous Mexican singers. My father was also a musician," he said.

Christian added, "A while ago, when my mother came to Korea, I saw her sing for the first time. I realized my mother had her own life."

Then Kim Hyerim said, "Among my mother’s songs, there is one called 'If Time Passes.' I only realized it was my mother’s song shortly before her death. It was the song she said was 'my song' before she passed away. 'So this is the kind of person my mother was,'" she said, evoking sadness.
