'Actor Kang Eun-bi revealed for the first time the school violence she experienced during her school years and the aftereffects, expressing sorrow.
On the 13th episode of the tvN Joy variety show Kim Chang-ok Show 4, a variety of stories were introduced under the theme "uncomfortable cohabitation, let's break up." That day, Kang Eun-bi appeared as a storyteller with her husband Byeon Jun-pil and brought up wounds she had long buried in her heart.
Kang Eun-bi opened up about why she is clumsy at expressing her emotions, saying, "I didn't receive affection from friends during school. I was always alone and was severely ostracized." She added, "It was to the extent that I was hit so hard my eardrum burst. Even now, one side has an artificial eardrum," which shocked those present.
It was a story completely different from the image she had when she first attracted public attention as an ulzzang. Kang Eun-bi calmly recalled the time, "On the outside I may have looked fine, but in reality I was always lonely."
Her wounds continued even after her debut. Kang Eun-bi confessed, "After debuting as an actress, many scenes of me acting cute were broadcast on my first variety show, and the images of 'playing coy' and 'unlikable' hardened," adding, "There were even love lines with idols, and because I was a rookie I reacted however I could, but the related search terms only left insults."
She said this experience affected her married life as well. Kang Eun-bi said, "If I try to act even a little cute, I'm afraid my husband will see me as unlikable," and said, "I can't even easily say 'honey' or 'darling.' I feel that if I show a weak side, he might leave," ending in tears.
When asked, "What age would you like to return to?" Kang Eun-bi answered, "I want to go back to 18, before I started acting," and said, "I want to live as Mijin, not under the name Kang Eun-bi. In a world without Eun-bi," which made viewers heavyhearted. Watching this, Byeon Jun-pil also cried and hugged his wife tightly.
After the broadcast, viewers have responded, "I didn't know there was such pain behind the appearance," and "I send sincere support for her brave confession."
