Lee Kyung-sil and Jo Hye-ryeon transcended the time they were caught up in rumors with laughter, sharing the ups and downs of their lives.
In the YouTube content 'New Women' released on the 12th, the two engaged in an honest conversation about 'falling into hell and rising to paradise.' Lee Kyung-sil confessed her feelings at that time, saying, 'I thought my life was over when I divorced at thirty-eight. It felt like everything was crumbling down.'
What made her even more difficult was the false rumors. Lee Kyung-sil recalled, 'After the divorce, rumors circulated that didn't exist during my marriage. It was said that I was involved with an entertainment representative and that I bought luxury items with the corporate card he gave me,' and noted, 'I once cried to a reporter, saying I had never received a points card from my ex-husband.' Still, she laughed it off with her characteristic humor, saying, 'But I'm thankful for being linked with the rich.'
The rumors that Jo Hye-ryeon experienced were even more absurd. She revealed, 'There were rumors that I was a brothel owner. A friend said, "She is definitely not that kind of person," and went around clarifying.' She added, 'During tough times, I immersed myself in language studies or other activities to overcome it,' smiling calmly. Lee Kyung-sil also chimed in, saying, 'Hye-ryeon is too busy living her own life to be swayed by what others say.'
Jo Hye-ryeon also honestly conveyed the humiliations she faced as a rookie when entering Japan, the sense of disillusionment after attempting serious acting, and her regrets about leaving the original version of 'Infinite Challenge,' 'Foolhardy Challenge.'
As they wrapped up their conversation, Lee Kyung-sil said, 'After going through difficult times, good things will surely come. I commend myself for not going astray during that time.' Jo Hye-ryeon expressed her gratitude, saying, 'I am thankful to my parents for giving me life as a person who can bring joy.'
'New Women' is a podcast-style YouTube content hosted by comedian Lee Sun-min. It is released every other Wednesday at 6 p.m. on the YouTube channel 'Rolling Thunder.'
