Veteran actress Kim Yong-ok showed tears at the MONSTA X concert venue. Recently, a video titled 'Kim Yong-ok Grandma, who rushes to the concert even at 87 years old (Home Tour | Secret of her youthful face) with MONSTA X' was released on her YouTube channel. In it, she did a room tour of her home, introducing her favorite items, and then showed a worried expression saying, 'Joohoney (from MONSTA X) invited me to the concert, but can I go with my legs hurting this much?' After that, Kim Yong-ok entered the MONSTA X concert venue holding a new penlight. Looking over the fans filling the venue, she exclaimed, 'It's magnificent... it's magnificent,' and when she spotted Joohoney on stage, she smiled brightly, saying, 'You're wonderful.' When Joohoney came close to the audience, they exchanged greetings by waving at each other. Although Kim Yong-ok was enjoying the performance, there was a moment when she showed tears. After the concert, when she met the members in the waiting room, she revealed, 'It was wonderful. Actually, I cried at first... it was an indescribable emotion.' Joohoney joked, 'You were jumping at the end, right? I was watching you the whole time.' Kim Yong-ok then spent a warm time with the members, handing them whiskey and chocolate. She joked, 'The comment at the end, 'I am not someone who runs to the top, but just someone heading towards the top,' was very good. I think the same way.' After taking photos with the members, she promised, 'Let's go eat. We'll meet again then,' and left the venue. In the car on her way home, she said, 'I had such a good time in my life. My lifespan has extended a few more days. I feel so good,' making everyone laugh. Kim Yong-ok and Joohoney first co-starred in JTBC's 'Hip Hop Nation' aired in Korea in 2016 and have continued to keep in touch since.
