At 63, the mother finally bought a plane ticket to Korea to find out what had happened. When she reached her daughter’s quiet home, she discovered rooms filled with women’s belongings and boxes containing large amounts of cash.
Her daughter soon arrived and revealed the truth: her husband, Kang Jun, had died two years earlier. She had been grieving alone while building a successful business and had become wealthy enough to send money home to her mother.
The mother stayed for several weeks, met her daughter’s friends and colleagues, and finally understood the life she had built. Before leaving, they promised to stay connected, turning years of silence into a chance to rebuild their relationship.
