On the 14th, the MBN entertainment program 'Heart-to-Heart Show Dongchimi' featured a discussion among cast members regarding family and parents under the theme "Unfilial Children Cry." During the broadcast, Harisu opened the conversation by sharing an anecdote about asking her mother whether she was a filial daughter or an unfilial one.

When Harisu mentioned asking her mother, "Mom, am I an unfilial child or a filial daughter?", Kim Ji-seon quipped, "An unfilial daughter, because even you are confused." The witty joke, which naturally connected Harisu's past and present regarding her gender identity, brought laughter to the set.

Harisu then introduced her unique bond with Kim Ji-seon, stating, "I have been connected with Ji-seon unnie since 1992. I first met her when I was a male high school student." This signifies a relationship that has lasted for 34 years.

Kim Ji-seon also brought up specific memories from that time.

Harisu also shared her emotions upon hearing from her mother that she was a filial daughter. Her mother reportedly replied, "You are a filial daughter. You didn't cause trouble, you took good care of your parents, and you made Mom and Dad comfortable." Harisu could not hide her touching emotions, saying she felt "overwhelmed and so grateful" upon hearing her mother's words.

The recognition and comfort provided by her mother, who has observed her life most closely, appeared to resonate deeply. For Harisu, her mother's answer seemed to go beyond a simple evaluation of being a filial daughter, serving as a moment to confirm the trust and affection built within the family over a long time.
