She continued, “When I come here and see the whole thing, I feel like I’m a family-centered, calm, and energetic person. There are a lot of things that you can’t help but be swayed by when you’re a celebrity. My heart trembles just to think that people point fingers at me and blame me. So I’m confused about whether this life is right or wrong”. She added, “We have the plan, but it’s not as easy as we thought. Maybe because I’m old.”
At the end of the broadcast, there was also a scene of Lee Hyo Ri taking a walk with her husband in Jeju. Lee Hyo Ri said, “We’re quite family-oriented, but I felt that people were more family-oriented there (in Canada). Their grandmother, daughter, son, and even dog get along well with each other”.
Lee Hyo Ri added, “I only focused on volunteering at the abandoned dog shelter, so I don’t think I made enough memories with our dogs. I need to make more memories with you”. Soon, she expressed her real intention, saying “To do that, we need to buy a camping car”, drawing laughter.
