Jo Se Ho made Jessi tear up with his story about his rise to fame.

The comedian featured on Jessi's latest 'Showterview with Jessi', and he discussed his ups and downs in his career. On the lowest point of his career, Jo Se Ho said, "Since I had no work, I stayed at home all day. One day, I had a phone call with my mom. I'm Catholic, and my baptismal name is Sebastian. My mom asked, 'Hey Sebastian, how are you doing?'" 

Because he didn't want to worry her, Jo Se Ho lied and told her he was at the broadcast station, saying, "I'm at a broadcast company right now. I have a meeting with a producer," and his mom responded, "'Okay, mom doesn't know much, but I wish your work turns out for the best for you.'"

When he opened his front door, his mom was there, and she explained she wanted to clean his place while he was at work. Jo Se Ho expressed, "My mom looked at me and just looked at me without saying a word. I couldn't say a word either," which caused Jessi to tear up.

He continued, "When I looked at my mom, I teared up in front of her. I didn't want to. My mom hugged me. She said, 'Sebastian, you can open up to mom. Mom is okay if my son is not a great son. Thanks to my son, you made me happy already. If anything hits you hard, you can rely on me anytime.'" Jo Se Ho then revealed his career recovered after his mom's words.
