Comedian Kim Young-hee revealed an experience of having a pounding headache over her husband's immature behavior.
On the 2nd, KBS2's 'Malja Show' featured the story of Kim Young-hee becoming the family head.
That episode was organized as a "family head special" inviting breadwinners who are doing their best to live in the battlefield of life and society.
Kim Young-hee said, "These days there is no gender for the head of the household. I thought it would be easier after I got married since I lived as someone's daughter, but I remained the family head. To tell my story, if you experienced the IMF you would understand, but my home was not in a situation to go through adolescence. When my home collapsed during adolescence I couldn't throw tantrums or watch my mother's face. Even so, I was bright. When the school asked who needed tuition exemption and to raise their hands, I raised my hand first saying 'our home is struggling' and at first I received exemptions a few times, but at some point my homeroom teacher pretended not to see and said 'none in our class' and I was hurt," she said.
Even during her school years, Kim Young-hee, who carried the responsibility of the family head, came to Seoul with 400,000 won, worked part-time jobs and lived for her dreams. Kim Young-hee said, "I met a husband who seemed like he would only fit me and who I thought would never appear again. He is 10 years younger. He's not particularly capable and I didn't catch a big break."
Kim Young-hee said, "My husband was a novice in society. He had been a baseball player and was released, and we met while he was preparing to change jobs during which he dated and we had a difficult start to married life. We met when I had lost everything, and during his job search he couldn't find a job easily. Believing in the job change, we moved to Seoul, but the break stretched out. At that time I was immature; since I couldn't meet him when he was busy I thought I could travel and have fun, but my husband was more mature than me. When I slept he would go out and cry alone on the balcony. Seeing that, I cried in bed," she said.
She continued, "Then my husband was offered a university coaching position, but since he was just starting as a coach it was his first time working in society. I'm the type to learn by doing, but my husband refused, saying it wasn't his place. It almost tore me apart. He then went through an elementary school coaching course and is now a high school coach. But my husband's salary flies away like a whistle, not like the wind. Then we had a second child, and because conditions weren't good we had to leave the house; on moving day it was three days after the birth. We had prepared everything and my husband, who usually secured good terms, was supposed to take a loan, but he couldn't because his credit score had dropped. It turned out he had taken a 3 million won loan because I had given birth and he wanted to at least buy a bag for me. So he repaid it immediately and, fortunately, the day before the loan his credit score recovered and we were able to live safely in our current home," she said.
