In the recent sensational Monday-Tuesday TV drama “Seonjae and Hop”, protagonist Lim Sol’s (Kim Hye-yoon) grandmother Jeong Jeong-ja (Seong Byeong-sook) is a dementia patient who is the key “man” and “seonjae and hop.” tear button’ of the drama. In “Hop on Seonjae”, which is about time slip, Im Sol displays a strange obsession with a clock that can return to the past, and when Im Sol changes the past, she says something significant. However, at the same time, the real little girl doesn’t recognize her niece due to her dementia, so she calls her “sister” and becomes a little girl whose favorite song is “Secret Juju”, which is sad.
15 years ago, the real woman was a grandmother who loved her grandchildren and great-granddaughter. This is why Im Sol went back to the past and cried when she saw the real sane person. Lim Sol also said that one of the good reasons for going back to the past was that her grandmother did not suffer from dementia.

The name of the disease “Dementia” comes from the Latin word meaning “loss of mind”. Even people who lead normal lives suffer from damage to brain function from various causes, leading to various symptoms such as memory, language ability, ability to understand time and space, judgment and thinking ability. It reflected symptoms of decreased capacity. The cause of dementia is any disease that can damage brain function. Aging is a representative cause, so in the past dementia was thought to be an “aging phenomenon”, but recently, through many studies, it has been recognized as a brain disease with various causes. According to the Asan Medical Center in Seoul, Alzheimer’s, commonly known, is a neurodegenerative disease of unknown cause and accounts for 50-60% of all dementia, while vascular dementia caused by impaired blood circulation in the brain accounts for 20-30%.
Additionally, dementia can occur due to the formation of abnormal protein deposits (Lewy bodies) in the brain or damage to the frontal and temporal lobes.
It is often confused with forgetfulness, but dementia is different in that it not only causes a decline in memory but also in judgment, as well as problems with mental ability and judgment. Forgetful patients have memory problems and quickly recall forgotten information when given a hint, but dementia is characterized by a continued decline in intellectual functions such as calculating ability and changes in personality and emotions. According to the “Status of Dementia in Korea 2022” report released by the Central Dementia Center of the National Medical Center, the estimated dementia population has already exceeded 1 million as we reach a very aging society. The number of dementia patients is expected to reach 2.26 million in 2040 and 3.15 million in 2050.
However, as with Sol’s home, most dementia care is provided in the home and no innovative treatment has been developed to date. Therefore, since tragic events often occur due to nursing fatigue, the need for social measures is constantly emphasized.
Experts advise patients to improve their quality of life by participating in various programs, such as occupational therapy and cognitive enhancement therapy, so that they can maintain basic daily activities. Additionally, although no clear cause or treatment has been identified, reading, playing at a healthy level, healthy eating habits, and appropriate exercise to keep the brain active can help prevent it. Alcohol and cigarettes have a negative effect on memory, and lack of sleep can also decrease memory, so it is best to avoid it.
