Comedian Kim Hak-rae made an honest confession, admitting to past private life controversies himself. Although the events happened decades ago, he acknowledged that his wife Im Mi-sook's mentions on broadcasts about infidelity and gambling were not wrong.
On the 5th, Kim Hak-rae appeared on the YouTube channel "Wonderful Life."
That day, Kim Hak-rae looked back on his married life in the 1990s and admitted, "I lost a lot of money and caused my wife a lot of pain." He explained that especially the late-night entertainment gatherings that continued as he socialized with acquaintances were the start of the problem.
He said, "When I hung out with people in the construction business run by friends, the drinking sessions got long. I am not good at drinking, but when we moved from place to place it continued until dawn, and eventually those things were discovered," recounting the situation at the time.
He also directly mentioned the anecdote in which his infidelity was uncovered. Kim Hak-rae recalled, "I said I had been to a funeral reception, but my wife had a receipt used in another area," and added, "I thought I had thrown away the evidence, but my wife picked up what the wind had blown away," drawing a bitter laugh.
He did not hide his past immersion in gambling either. He recalled, "Playing poker, I gradually got sucked in," and added, "At the time, colleagues around me each had their own styles."
What surprised people most was the record of repeated wrongdoing. Kim Hak-rae revealed, "Every time I did something wrong I wrote a written pledge, and there are more than 100 of them. It's about 110 letters," surprising everyone.
Although it was a confession pulled out after time had passed, he did not glamorize his past. Rather, he acknowledged, "My wife is right," and showed that he accepted responsibility.
