That day, Kim Seung-soo's mother was visibly taken aback when a robot greeted her at her son's home. The robot said, "Hello, Grandma. I'm Jjokkomi — Seung-soo's father's daughter," and then sang "Happy Birthday" to celebrate her 80th birthday.
Kim presented his mother with 3 million KRW in cash (about 2,250 USD) using a money-shower machine he had prepared. He then told his mother he had someone to introduce and revealed a walking robot named Jenny. Jenny even danced to the music, leaving his mother speechless.
Kim joked that if the robot develops a bit more, it might one day be able to live alongside people. His mother admitted she found the idea sad.
