Actress Han Geuru, who was thriving as a rising star, shared a touching yet proud confession of returning as a single mom raising twin siblings after experiencing marriage and divorce at a young age. The heartfelt story hidden behind the glamorous life of a celebrity conveyed a sense of poignancy.
On the broadcast of TV CHOSUN's 'The Food Traveler with Heo Young-man' aired on the 1st, Han Geuru and Heo Young-man were depicted embarking on a food journey in Buan, Jeollabuk-do.
On that day's broadcast, Han Geuru had a pleasant time with Heo Young-man. Although she approached the conversation brightly and cheerfully, there were the twists and turns of life that she had to endure at a young age, capturing attention.
Debuting after forming a bond with singer-songwriter Joo Young-hoon through a volunteer group, Han Geuru suddenly announced her marriage at the young age of 23, during her time as a rising star known as 'Apgujeong Yui', and halted her activities.
In particular, Han Geuru experienced the joy of becoming a mother of twins at the young age of 26, but she also endured the pain of divorce, prompting sympathy while simultaneously receiving support as she juggled parenting and acting as a single mom.
Han Geuru candidly shared her parenting struggles in front of Heo Young-man, resonating with many single moms. She joked, "Honestly, I don't think about the kids," but added, "After the kids entered elementary school, I returned to my main profession. Until then, I had never slept apart from them. I bathed them, cooked for them, and did everything," hinting at the parenting journey she had experienced.
Han Geuru also mentioned, "The happiest moment was when I received the text confirming the admission to the daycare. I cried at that time." While Han Geuru, as a 'mom,' felt small joys caring for the twins as a single mom, it was heartbreaking that she had to be apart from them as an 'actress' and 'breadwinner.'
Having experienced a significant life change after halting her activities during her peak popularity, Han Geuru is raising her twin siblings robustly and brightly, hoping for a second prime as an actress. She recently expressed her ambition to take on a wealthy character role, stating that she had played a role overcoming difficult circumstances in her recently concluded work.
