On March 8, his son Dam-Bi went on social media to share a poster of the drama “When Life gives Mandarini”, accompanied by the caption, “It makes my nose burned. As expected, the writer IM Sang-Chun. “
Im Sang-Chun is the acclaimed screenwriter behind “When the Camellia Blooms”, the drama that consolidated her son Dam-bi standing as an actress.
What makes this moment particularly touching is that “when Camellia Blooms” interpreted Gong Hyo-Jin, once known as one of Son Dam-Bi’s closest friends. The stellar performance of Gong Hyo-Jin in the series was worth the prestigious Grand Prix (Daesang) to the Kbs Drama Awards.
The drama was widely praised as a masterpiece, intertwined without continuity, suspense and social comments. He resounded deeply with the public for his raw and felt exploration of prejudice, unconditional love and human perseverance. The spectators have praised in particular the chemistry between Gong Hyo-Jin and Kang Ha-Neul, together with the delicate but powerful narrative of the drama and its realistic interpretation of social issues.
In the meantime, his son Dam-Bi has recently opened up how his personal life has evolved from marriage. Speaking candidly on his YouTube channel, he reflected, “I was very worried and I was shy, but I think I changed a lot since I got married. While I take a break, I learned to be more patient and wait for the right time. Life is unpredictable, but I think it is something that is worth looking forward. “
He also took a moment to reflect on his past, saying, “I was attracted to the darkness, almost like the strange affliction of an artist. I even thought I liked men with that type of energy. “ However, after making the knot with the former Lee Kyu-Hyuk speed skating champion, she came to realization. “I understood that I actually like healthy people. I never imagined that my life would go like this. “ Expressing a deep admiration for her husband, he added, “My husband is really someone with a strong and healthy mentality.”
In May 2022, he married Lee Kyu-Hyuk, who is five years senior. However, their marriage aroused controversy when longtime friends, including Jung Ryeo-Won and Gong Hyo-Jin, were remarkably absent, feeding the speculation of a relapse.
Now, his son Dam-Bi is preparing for a new chapter of his life. He expects his first child in April, and it was revealed that she and Lee Kyu-Hyuk will welcome a daughter.
