Actress Im Soo-hyang opened up about the 'gold spoon theory' surrounding her.
On the 31st, a video titled "Is it okay to take a break? Want to go to Jamsil together?" was uploaded on the 'Im Soo-hyang Turtle and Crane' channel.
That day, Im Soo-hyang took a trip to Jamsil alone for a break. While asking about the reactions after the YouTube release, she revealed, "There are some people who find it enjoyable. So, there were people waiting, saying, 'Why hasn't it been posted this Sunday?' even though it couldn't be uploaded."
Im Soo-hyang mentioned, "We were supposed to organize the closet for our next content. But I felt a bit burdened, so I kept it on hold," adding, "After the first video was released, stories got distorted. 'This is the padding I wore in middle school.' There were comments like, 'It's a show-off,' but as that spread, suddenly my car grade started to rise, like I was driving a Ferrari or Lamborghini."
Earlier, Im Soo-hyang shared in the first video she released last month that she brought out a 20-year-old padding, saying, "This is what I wore in middle and high school. It's blue marine, but it's not made anymore," adding, "Back then, we were well off. My mom bought me these kinds of things."
Since then, she has gone out in a supercar and said, "I've had the car for over 2 years." The production team was shocked, asking, "You've had it for over 2 years, but you've only driven 3,600 kilometers?" and Im Soo-hyang replied, "I rarely get to drive the car." Furthermore, she responded honestly when the production team said, "You can go slowly," stating, "I'm going slowly, but this car feels fast even if it moves just a little. The ride comfort is not great." The team shot back with, "Then why did you buy this car?" to which she replied, "It's a show-off," drawing laughter.
After the video was released, as the 'wealthy theory' surrounding her spread, she began to feel pressured. Im Soo-hyang said, "It has become a given fact. Didn't I say at that time that my mom was wealthy? I am grateful that I grew up in a fortunate environment as a child, but after I debuted, my parents' business went bad, and my father's health worsened, leading me to take on the role of the breadwinner for over 10 years, helping my father and taking responsibility for our livelihood."
She said, "But my parents are worried. It's being portrayed as if I'm a wealthy person, which is far from the truth, so I feel very burdened. So, I've been contemplating about the upload. Nevertheless, I think to myself that it's okay because it's not the truth, but it often happens that what is not true becomes perceived as the truth. My parents feel a bit regrettable about it. It would have been great if it were true. Still, how great it is! Even if it has become that way, I have the capability to work harder and support them."
