[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Park Hee-eun] Actor Ahn Bo-hyun confessed to his mother about the difficult days of being an unknown actor.


On the 15th broadcast of MBC's 'I Live Alone,' Ahn Bo-hyun went on a Seoul outing with his mother.


During the broadcast, he looked at Hannam-dong from a cruise ship and joked, "The people who live in that neighborhood are successful." Ahn Bo-hyun explained that he had never lived anywhere other than Sillim-dong and Hongdae.


While looking around the Seoul cityscape, he said, "There are so many houses in Seoul, so how come I don't have a single home of my own?" He recalled, "I once tried to live in a place with a 4 million won deposit and 200,000 won monthly rent, but I couldn't because I didn't have 2 million won. I asked my father, but since it was sudden, he couldn't lend me the money." Hearing this, Ahn Bo-hyun's mother shed tears.


Then, in response to his mother's question about whether he had any regrets, he explained, "The hardest time was when I couldn't go home for the holidays and worked part-time delivering packages. When I returned home, the house was flooded. At that time, I was about to give up on my dream and go home."


Later, in an interview with the production team, Ahn Bo-hyun's mother said, "I only heard about my son's news through articles, so I didn't know he was struggling so much," and added, "If he had met better parents, wouldn't our son have been able to achieve his dream more easily?" expressing her sorrow.



Ahn Bo-hyun shared his thoughts about the day, saying, "I think I didn't know much about my mother. It was a precious day."
