We previously reported that SBS‘s ’Star King‘ would be holding auditions for ‘Gag King‘, a special competition on the show aiming to find the nation’s next big comedian.
One of the contestants, Lim Sung Hoon, managed to make MC Park Mi Sun cry, but not in the way everyone expected.
Lim Sung Hoon is a former SBS comedian who decided to return to the spotlight for a very special purpose.
Lim Sung Hoon shared that he lost his younger sister last year. She was pronounced brain dead, and his family was forced to pull her life support due to their difficult financial situation. Lim Sung Hoon signed his sister’s ‘organ donor’ consent form on her behalf, and since then, he’s been living with the guilt of letting his sister go.
As such, he’s made the difficult decision to try and compete on ‘Gag King’ to offer some laughter and smiles to his grieving family.
MC Park Misun teared up as he related his story, and said that she could relate. “When my father was passing away, it became too heartbreaking to see him suffer in pain for so long, so I agreed to take him off life support,” she shared.
“Your sister has done a wonderful thing, offering life to so many others by being an organ donor,” Park Mi Sun said as she wiped away her tears.
