A South Korean woman sang karaoke for 60 hours while her husband is fighting a tumor. Does she sound like some cruel or self-centered wife? Read again as Kim Seok-ok, performed to cheer up her ailing husband and set an example for others living with sick family members.

Except for a five-minute break every hour, Kim did not stop for 59 hours and 48 minutes, 36 minutes beyond the previous record held by a German.

BBC quoted her as saying, "Life may be painful, but face the challenge. I want people to live with hope like me. I wanted to send the message, for those who are living with patients in the family, that if you live cheerfully without being discouraged, it will give them immense strength."

She set the record while standing up despite rules that allowed her to sit and sing on Valentine's Day. Her 45-year-old husband is fighting a brain tumor. By doing so, she also set the unofficial world karaoke record!
