Summary of "‘가진 것 없는 노인네’ 라며 어머니 쫓아낸 아들 며느리는 어머니가 종로 부자라는 걸 몰랐는데"

The video narrates a dramatic family and social story centered on Park Bok-ne, an elderly woman who was cruelly cast out by her son Min-seok and daughter-in-law Su-jin under the pretext that they had no means to support her. Despite living in Min-seok’s lavish apartment, Bok-ne faces cold treatment and disrespect, as her daughter-in-law mocks her traditional cooking and her son vents frustrations about his failing business, blaming her for their hardships.

Min-seok’s business deteriorates rapidly due to financial troubles, failed contracts, and mounting debts. His wife Su-jin pressures him and shows contempt for Bok-ne, culminating in the couple forcibly evicting her in the middle of a harsh winter with only a bag of belongings. Despite this, Bok-ne remains composed and leaves with dignity.

The story takes a twist when it is revealed that Park Bok-ne is actually the wealthy and powerful chairman of Myeongseong Group, possessing assets worth nearly 70 billion won. She had hidden her wealth to ensure her son grew up independent and mature. After 20 years of absence from the business world, she returns as a formidable “Iron Lady,” reclaims her status, and announces the establishment of a large scholarship foundation to support underprivileged youth and elderly people, severing ties with her ungrateful son and daughter-in-law.

Min-seok and Su-jin, now bankrupt and homeless, are shocked and devastated upon discovering Bok-ne’s true identity and wealth. They attempt to reconcile, begging for forgiveness in the luxurious hotel lobby, but Bok-ne coldly rejects them, legally cutting off all parental ties and inheritance rights. Meanwhile, Bok-ne dedicates herself fully to philanthropy and regains respect as a mature, self-made adult.

The video contrasts the warmth and hope found in Bok-ne’s foundation office, where scholarship recipients and elderly beneficiaries express gratitude, with the bleak, desperate situation of Min-seok and Su-jin, who are left to face the consequences of their greed and disrespect.
