Actress Kim Hye-eun criticized Seol Nan-young, the spouse of Kim Moon-soo, a presidential candidate from the People Power Party, leading to controversy surrounding writer Yoo Si-min, and then deleted her post. While engaging in a war of words with netizens, Kim Hye-eun ultimately closed the comment section.
Kim Hye-eun stated on the 31st, "I have never felt so ashamed of my educational background from Seoul National University as I do today. I genuinely want to convey my apologies on behalf of others." He is from the Department of Vocal Music at Seoul National University.
He mentioned, "A person's educational background and intelligence are worthless bragging rights before those who speak of life's proof through the sincerity of a hard life. Anyone who possesses a tongue that carelessly judges and belittles another's life has the most shameful tongue. "
He continued, "I respect women like Seol Nan-young, who dedicated their lives to support a man's dreams while shouldering the family's livelihood, and tried to live as a female labor activist for justice. I respect her even more, as I don't think I could have lived that way."
He referred to, "My mother, who dedicated her life to making her daughter a vocalist; my aunt, who has been making kalguksu in the same spot at Seodong Market for a lifetime; Seol Nan-young, who has quietly supported her husband and children without any expense account; and teacher Kim Young-ok, who shows her resilience to juniors every day," stating, "Those women who have given their best every single day through sincerity are the true role models that drive my life."
Kim Hye-eun added, "I am not a highly educated person, nor am I a spoiled intellectual living with a superiority complex, looking down on those who graduated from high school. As a woman living in this era, today is truly painful due to cheap, harsh words."
Following the controversy, many netizens visited his account to criticize him. In response, Kim Hye-eun replied in the comments, engaging in an argument with the netizens. However, she ultimately closed the comment section.
Earlier, writer Yoo mentioned during a YouTube broadcast titled 'Kim Eo-jun's Das-beo-ida' on the 28th that about Seol Nan-young, "The position of being the spouse of a presidential candidate from a major party is a position that Seol Nan-young cannot reach in her life. So, I meant that she is 'not in her right mind.'"
After the controversy arose, Yoo Si-min stated, "I think if I had used a more dignified and precise expression, I might not have received such a backlash. That is my fault," clarifying, "It means I failed to make a purposeful and rational judgment."
He added, "Usually, the spouse of a presidential candidate helps in the election campaign, and if it were purposeful, she should be engaging in activities that support her husband to gain votes, and if it were rational, she should be doing things to increase the chances of winning the election. However, what Seol Nan-young is doing is something that cuts down her husband's votes."
