[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Park Hee-eun] Comedian Lee Kyung-sil shared an update on her recent life.

On the 9th, Channel A's 'Eye Contact' featured Lee Kyung-sil and Park Mi-sun attempting eye contact. Although the two have known each other for 30 years, it had been two years since they last met.

Park Mi-sun expressed her complicated feelings, saying, "I feel like I have been too neglectful to Kyung-sil unnie. I couldn't express my apologies. Honestly, life has been so busy and there are many people I need to take care of, so that's why."

In response, Lee Kyung-sil said, "You must have felt uncomfortable. I thought you might have felt like, 'Why are you calling me?' so I felt sorry for causing discomfort," conveying her own apologies instead.

When asked about her recent life, she explained, "I lived like a hermit. Taking care of myself well was the best I could do," adding, "I even climbed the highest mountain on the trekking course in the Himalayas. I felt like if I let go of the strings of my heart, I would get sick. I went outside to feel alive."

Park Mi-sun warmed the atmosphere by saying, "Maybe you've matured now, unnie. I really realize how precious you are."

Meanwhile, Lee Kyung-sil married her ex-husband in 1992 and announced their divorce in 2003. She later remarried businessman Mr. Choi, who is nine years older, but in 2015, Mr. Choi became the center of controversy after being sentenced to prison for sexually assaulting an acquaintance's wife.
