'Kim Joo-ha's Day and Night' Kim Joo-ha met with Lee Ji-hyun and Jung Ga-eun and shared their feelings.
On the 3rd broadcast of MBN 'Kim Joo-ha's Day and Night', Lee Ji-hyun and Jung Ga-eun appeared. Kim Joo-ha said, "The two women we will host today are two women opening a new life with a new determination," and welcomed them with applause. Lee Ji-hyun drew attention by becoming a hair designer, and Jung Ga-eun drew attention by becoming a taxi driver.
Kim Joo-ha asked, "I have a question for Lee Ji-hyun. Why did you choose hair designer as your second life?" Lee Ji-hyun answered, "Actually, don't people who work in broadcasting go to hair shops before they come? I thought the entry barrier was really low, but that was a mistake," and said, "And no matter how much AI develops, they say a person's face and hair cannot be replaced by a machine."
Jung Ga-eun said, "My father worked as a model taxi driver with 40 years without accidents. To carry on my father's line, and because my father raised me while driving a taxi, I thought it would be good if I tried it, so I took on the challenge," and said, "They asked if I could do it, saying it would be hard. Even so, he enjoyed it. Thinking that his daughter was doing what he had done, he worried but was happy," and said she obtained a taxi driver's license with her father's support.
Kim Joo-ha cautiously asked, "Wasn't the divorce process difficult?" Jung Ga-eun laughed, saying, "Shouldn't we prepare tissues?," and Lee Ji-hyun coolly answered, "But I have divorced twice. When was that?"
Soon Lee Ji-hyun said, "Actually, we've all tried getting divorced, but to break that you have to go through tremendous stress and legal lawsuits," and Kim Joo-ha silently empathized with a deep look.
Jung Ga-eun said, "I divorced in 2018. Now divorce is talked about a little more, but at that time it was different. If that came out in the news, it felt like my life would be over. But I had to raise my child and earn money through broadcasting, so I was really afraid until the divorce article came out," she said. Then Lee Ji-hyun said, "That kind of feeling gave me panic disorder," and said, "When I had my second divorce, I worried whether that article would come out. My family hurt and I worried so much that I developed panic disorder. Actually my body is really healthy but panic disorder is the problem," and said she now can hardly drive.
Lee Ji-hyun sobbed thinking of her parents who became frail because of her. Jung Ga-eun said, "My father was diagnosed with esophageal cancer a few years ago. After recovery, cancer was found elsewhere. The surgery ended well," and said, "My father is unwell, work is busy, and when I come home I'm just sitting and crying so much that my mother asked, 'Is there something wrong with you?'" She then relayed the encouragement she heard from her mother, saying, "She told me not to try so hard and not to cry."
At this, Lee Ji-hyun burst into tears again, saying, "Kim Joo-ha, didn't you have that thought? If someone doesn't tell me that," and Kim Joo-ha forgot his lines and comforted them and showed empathy.
