In the episode of 'Healing Show Dongchimi,' actor Kim Jeong-min opened up about family matters and controversies with difficulty.
In the episode of MBN's 'Healing Show Dongchimi' aired on the 19th, actor Kim Jeong-min appeared. From the beginning of his debut, Kim Jeong-min, with his small face and Unick impression, shone particularly in entertainment after becoming an adult with his unique eloquence and witty sense.
Even Kim Jeong-min had family matters. Kim Jeong-min said, "I'm similar. My father was not someone who created a healthy family. Whenever he drank, when he opened the door at home, he was a very terrifying father. I wrote a letter to the judge," and "Since it was not an amicable divorce, the children capable of expressing their opinions had to express their will. This happened when I was in upper elementary school. I ended up living with my mom, and I didn't contact my biological father," revealing that he had severed ties with his biological father.
Later, he said, "But when he passed away, I started to receive contact. When I saw him again after severing ties, he was already deceased. The notification of his death arrived late, and by the time the funeral was over, I couldn't see him one last time. That's how the separation happened," and noted, "Even if I cut off contact with my parents, it seems I cannot sever the bond."
There was more reason for him to say this. Although he was in a remarriage family, the relationships were tight. After breaking up with his boyfriend in 2017, Kim Jeong-min was involved in a lawsuit regarding receiving goods worth 1 billion won, which ended without issues, but public opinion remained cold.
Compounding matters, his mother collapsed and was hospitalized for a year due to a cerebral infarction, but during that time, due to the controversies, Kim Jeong-min could not go outside and had no choice but to sneak visit his mother at the hospital every night.
Kim Jeong-min said, "I am a victim, but there were provocative expressions in articles that I couldn't even mention. I felt like I was sinking deeper. That's why I had to take a break from work," and shared, "I thought my mom was sleeping, and when I hugged her, it felt awkward. I had all sorts of thoughts. I was embarrassed to show my mom this side of me, and I cried because I couldn't take care of her while she was in the hospital; I thought she was sleeping, but she wiped my tears."
It was also his family that lifted Kim Jeong-min back up. He said, "Still, what I'm grateful for is that my newly gained younger siblings and my dad have become closer than before. My younger brothers don't say much, but just saying, 'Sister, all the negative comments are garbage. They will soon end,' brings me a lot of comfort," as he held back tears for a moment.
Kim Jeong-min stated, "Today, I'm talking about family and severing ties. We have six members, and half of them became family after being strangers. I realized through my experiences that blood relationships are not what matter. Even if we don't often meet or get close, I've come to feel that there are only true families," conveying his emotions and at the same time calmly proving his position as a talented individual in the broadcast industry.
