'Let's live together' Hwang Seok-jeong mentioned family matters and showed tears.
On the afternoon of the 1st, the KBS2 variety show Park Won-sook's Let's Live Together featured voice actress-turned-actress Seong Byung-sook.
Seong Byung-sook confessed to a difficult period of two divorces, 10 billion won in debt due to her remarried husband's business failure, and hardship.
Hwang Seok-jeong said, "She must have cried alone in secret," expressing sympathy, and said, "I didn't cry alone in secret. I would just cry when tears came while I was walking," she said.
A Seoul National University graduate who re-entered Korea National University of Arts and revealed a difficult family history including supporting her family's livelihood, Hwang Seok-jeong said, "I cry a lot while riding the bus. When I wear a hat and ride the bus, tears come like that. It's still hard. Every day is so exhausting and I want to rest," she said.
Earlier, Hwang Seok-jeong spoke about her mother, saying, "My mother was called a 'witch.' When I went back to my hometown, a neighbor asked me, 'Oh, your mother must have had a hard time, right?' She was such a fierce person," and said, "I didn't speak to my mother until I was forty. I hated my mother that much. She was the person I hated most in the world, and when my mother came near me I couldn't breathe," she said.
That day Hwang Seok-jeong said, "When I sit on the bus my chest really hurts. There are many times when living like this continuously is so burdensome. When I feel that way, I unknowingly have to take care of my parents and I don't know when it will end, and the sense of responsibility and living like that my whole life makes my body hurt."
In an interview with production staff, Park Won-sook showed sincerity, saying, "Hwang Seok-jeong welled up and cried; it felt like she was trapped in a shackle she couldn't shake off. If I had the power, I would join forces to help free her. I want her to be rid of that burden and be happy together."
Hwang Seok-jeong said, "Still, I'm very spirited. That spirit of 'It's okay! It will be okay!'—where did that come from? It came from my mother, and it's what I learned from her."
