Actor Kang Ji-seop confesses for the first time about a religious incident that has shaken not only his acting career but his entire life.
MBN's 30th-anniversary nationwide comfort project 'Oh Eun-young Stay' is a healing reality program where Dr. Oh Eun-young, Ko So-young, and Moon Se-yoon warm the viewers' hearts through empathy and healing. In the final episode of 'Oh Eun-young Stay,' which will air at 9:10 p.m. on the 11th (today), actor Kang Ji-seop will candidly share the past and wounds he has never been able to reveal anywhere else.
Kang Ji-seop said, "This is the first and last time I will talk about it. I will not mention it again," and continued, "I went there wanting to find peace of mind. I didn't know it was such a place, and I felt that my acting career could end here." He revealed the first unfortunate connection with a certain religion by stating, "I received a modeling offer on the street on my way to my part-time job in university," and shocked everyone by saying, "There were strange things from the beginning."
Kang Ji-seop further confessed, "I colluded with the cult leader, I offered women, there were all sorts of comments," and when even those close to him turned their backs, he felt despair, saying, "There's no one I can trust in this world." He conveyed his feelings of hopelessness at the time by saying, "Why do I have to receive such misunderstandings? I wondered if I should not exist in this world." People were left speechless. There is curiosity about how Dr. Oh Eun-young comforted Kang Ji-seop after hearing his honest confession.
In addition, a heartbreaking confession from a participant who had to sever ties with her mother due to sexual abuse by her stepfather is also shared. The participant revealed, "This is the first time I am speaking out publicly, so I am very nervous," and shared the shocking comments made by her mother after learning about the sexual abuse that had been happening since she was 9 years old, causing anger and sadness among everyone. The story of the wounds and confessions that the participant bravely shared that day raises expectations about the comfort she will receive through 'Oh Eun-young Stay.'
'Oh Eun-young Stay' will conclude season 1 after 8 episodes and will begin preparations for the next season. In the special concept of staying together for two days in a 'temple stay,' the genuine comfort and deep empathy conveyed by Dr. Oh Eun-young, Ko So-young, and Moon Se-yoon has warmed the viewers' hearts in every episode. The heartfelt moments of embracing each other's wounds with tears at times and laughter at others have left a unique emotion that can only be delivered by 'Oh Eun-young Stay.' The production team is preparing a new season to contain more stories and deeper comfort and plans to return as a space for warmer and more heartfelt comfort.
The production team noted, "It was a time when stories from the heart that no one could easily bring up were shared courageously, and the empathy from the cast who sincerely accepted them delivered a profound resonance to the viewers." They added, "Having confirmed through 'Oh Eun-young Stay' that just talking and listening can provide comfort, we will prepare for the next season with a broader perspective and deeper stories so that real comfort can reach more people."
