Born in 1949, Kim Soo Mi joined the Korean entertainment industry in 1970 in a talent search contest organized by MBC television. The actress became famous when she played Il-yong's mother in MBC's hit drama Village Diary (1980 - 2002).

In addition, she is also known to Vietnamese audiences through many funny roles in works such as: King and I, Bali Island Love Story, Mafia Husband, My Grandmother is a Gangster...

Kim so Mi has a husband Jung Chang Gyu, daughter Jung Joo Ri, son Jung Myung Ho and daughter-in-law Seo Hyo Rim, who is also an actress.

Kim so Mi has been showing signs of declining health since the beginning of this year. In May, she took a break from her activities due to fatigue and was hospitalized. Despite health concerns, Kim appeared on a home shopping broadcast in August, with some viewers finding her shaking hands and stuttering. However, she dismissed the concerns in a phone interview.

On October 25, the media reported that veteran actress Kim Soo Mi died at the age of 75. The "national mother-in-law" was taken to St. Mary's Hospital, Seoul in cardiac arrest. Although the doctors tried their best to provide emergency care, the actress did not survive.

Yonhap News quoted Kim Soo Mi's son as saying that the actress died of hyperglycemic shock, leading to severe bodily dysfunction. The blood sugar level of the veteran actress is up to 500. The cause of this condition comes from external factors, including extreme stress. It is known that before her death, Kim Soo Mi was stressed because she had not been paid for the musical My Mother, where she had performed for 14 years. Since last year, the production company My Mother has been involved in a plagiarism controversy, so it has stopped paying her. Kim Soo Mi was preparing to sue this company when she suddenly died.

The funeral of the "national mother-in-law" took place at Hanyang University Hospital in Sageun Ward, Seongdong District, Seoul on October 27.

On the day of seeing her off on the final journey, actors Jang Dong Min, Jeong Jun Ha and Yoon Jeong Su were all present, they had a special relationship with the late actor at birth and called her "adoptive mother". The three of them suppressed their sadness, carried the coffin, and paid their respects to Kim Soo Mi.

Daughter-in-law Seo Hyo Rim couldn't hold back her pain and burst into tears: "Mom, don't go. I'm sorry. I've had a hard time."

During her lifetime, the veteran actress treated her daughter-in-law very well. That made the mother-in-law relationship very close, making Seo Hyo Rim extremely distressed when Kim so Mi left.

Specifically, on the program Morning Yard aired last year, Kim so Mi confided quite a lot about her arduous life. Kim so Mi lost her mother early, so she treated her mother-in-law like her biological mother. The mother-in-law always stands by Kim so Mi, even cheering for the actress to divorce her own bad son. The late actress said: "Before I gave birth to my second child, my mother-in-law said, 'Get a divorce. Even if you don't work in the entertainment industry, I will make sure you live your life without begging anyone. Meet a good person when you're young and live your life, I'm very sorry.'" However, because her mother-in-law was too good, Kim Soo Mi stayed with her.

The "national mother-in-law" continued: "Just like how my mother-in-law treats me, I also treat my daughter-in-law like a family member. Two years ago, my son was involved in a money scam and was acquitted. At that time, I was worried that my daughter-in-law would feel hurt, so I changed the name of the house for her as a gift. If my daughter-in-law changes her mind and divorces, our family will receive 50 million won (915 million VND) back, but I told her to use this money to raise the children." On the Chairman's People program, she also boasted about handing over the power of family economic management to her daughter-in-law shortly after she married her son.

1 day before the actress died, a video of the magician correctly predicting the death of the "national mother-in-law" was posted on the Unplus YouTube channel. The video is titled "Kim Soo Mi is in serious trouble, I see death around her... What will happen to Kim so Mi from now on?" There have been 280,000 views of this video.

Initially, netizens were extremely surprised by this "prophecy". But later, netizens discovered that the title and profile picture of the video had been changed shortly after the actress's death, in order to make viewers think that this was a prediction. The content in the video is also a "trick", because the magician predicts that Kim so Mi will have great luck and a career going up in the next year.

The video sparked outrage across South Korean social media sites. Netizens criticized this YouTube channel for taking advantage of Kim so Mi's death to attract views and make profits. The wave of protests was so loud that the comment section of the video was turned off.
