Actress Hwang Eun Jung spoke about her divorce with Yoon Ki Won at MBN's variety program, "Dong Chi Mi". Netizens' response is divided over her comments.
Hwang Eun Jung appeared in the 'Dol Sing (Divorced Singles) Special' of MBN 'Dong Chi Mi', which was broadcasted on October 12th. She began saying, "We had been married for six years. We even joined entertainment programs as a couple." "Some people asked if that was a pretension but at that time we were ok in a relationship."
Hwang was introduced as 'Dol Sing Second Year'. She said, "(Everyone) did not know that I was divorced, so I came to announce clearly." She explained the situation after the divorce and how she feels about it.
Hwang said, "When divorce news broke out a year ago, I was contacted by male friends whom I knew 10 years ago, saying, 'Let's have a drink'." "I felt hurt and disgraced as they were looking down on me as a divorced woman," added Hwang.
"I've been living in seclusion for six months because of thoughts that I would have to live with the label as "a divorced woman." "I felt like everyone else living well except me. I drank alone every day. I lost 10 kg in weight. I lost confidence in myself completely," recalled Hwang.
She also recollected the moment of making a hard choice, "I was hanging a string in my double-story house. I do not know why I did. I must have felt extremely difficult. I realized I was in big trouble."
Hwang Eun Jung met Yoon Ki Won through drama 'Buddy Buddy' in 2011 and started dating him. Hwang and Yoon got married in May 2012 but divorced in December 2017, five years later.
Netizens are sending different opinions on her confession. Some are supporting her saying that they cheer her new life but others view it careless that she unilaterally talked about her personal matters.
