'Let's live together' Seong Byung-sook confessed that she incurred 10 billion won in debt after her remarried husband's business failed.
On the afternoon of the 1st, the KBS2 variety show Park Won-sook's Let's Live Together featured voice actor-turned actress Seong Byung-sook.
Seong Byung-sook made her name as a voice actor for familiar animated films such as Popeye and Paul in Wonderland, and also became known as a radio DJ. She later served as the host of the popular 1980s music program March of Youth, and recently has appeared in popular dramas such as Misaeng and Lovely Runner, continuing to work as a veteran actress.
Shortly after her first marriage ended, Seong Byung-sook remarried and said, "My daughter went to kindergarten and came home crying so often. 'Other kids have dads but I don't. Make me a dad,' she said. So I promised her. 'Don't worry, I'll make one,' and a friend from musical theater introduced someone, and after a year of dating we liked each other and I married a businessman," adding, "At that time my husband's business was doing so well that he was expanding it. At first I lived like a queen, but overnight I became a maid and was chased out of a 70-pyeong apartment in Apgujeong-dong. In my life, 1997 is the dividing line: before that is the first half, and after that is the second half."
She continued, "I still can't forget that time. The whole country became IMF; when the country was in crisis I went through a war too. It wasn't a tunnel but a cave. A tunnel at least has an entrance and exit, but a cave goes on and on underground," and "When the company went bankrupt my husband said, 'I'll take care of everything, don't worry. I'll come back in a month,' but he still hasn't come back," surprising everyone.
When asked, "How much was your husband's debt? Did you have to repay it yourself?" she said, "The bankruptcy amount was 10 billion won. The creditors all came to me. I did a live broadcast every morning, and of course the creditors knew where I was. They all came looking for me," adding, "I had also guaranteed the debts. When a husband runs a business, someone has to be okay so they can at least run a noodle stall or a hotteok stall. I asked him not to have me guarantee it, but I heard my husband took my seal and secretly used it," she revealed.
