[Sportschosun Lee Woo-joo] Ko Du-shim spoke about rumors that she owns a great deal of land in Jeju Island on 'What to Do with Leftovers.'
Ko Du-shim appeared on the tvN STORY program 'What to Do with Leftovers,' which aired on the 29th.
While walking along the stone wall path in Jeju where tvN's 'Our Blues' was filmed, Ko Du-shim recalled the scene in which her character makes a tragic choice and returns after her son falls into a coma. She said, "That scene stands out even more in my memory because it was right around the time my husband passed away. I had seen him at the hospital, come back down, and was filming for about a week. That day, for some reason, I had parked the car over there and was standing by for the shoot, and then the moon rose brightly. The moment I saw it, I felt strange, and I had a feeling he might pass away today. I told the younger colleague who came to help with the shoot, 'Make sure you answer your phone. I think someone will contact me from Seoul.' While rehearsing in that state, the emotions just poured out. So the director filmed it right away. That's why I can never forget this road."
Lee Young-ja asked Ko Du-shim, who is from Jeju Island, about a rumor circulating that the land around Hallasan belongs to her. Ko Du-shim denied it, saying, "A friend even told me, 'That building is all yours too.' So I said, 'If my full name is on it, then you can have it.' Only then did they realize it wasn't true."
Ko Du-shim also recalled memories of her late mother. She described her mother as a great teacher in life and expressed deep respect for her, noting that she gave birth alone in a strange place at a very young age.
Ko Du-shim, who said she even traveled with her mother during the filming of 'Country Diaries,' expressed gratitude, saying, "I couldn't do that on other shoots, but it was fine with 'Country Diaries' because everyone was close. When it was time for me to film, I asked Kim Yong-geon oppa to look after my mother. Then he would say, 'Leave your mother-in-law to me.' After filming, when I asked, 'Where did Mom go?' he had already taken care of her meal because it was lunchtime."
In response to Lee Young-ja's praise that "you can't help but like her. She doesn't even bully her juniors," Ko Du-shim honestly admitted, "I only played good roles. I only played a mother-in-law once. I didn't want to play villain roles."
Lee Young-ja asked, "Did you avoid playing a mother-in-law because you didn't want to be criticized?" Ko Du-shim replied, "I can't really explain it. I don't know because I've never fought."
