Actress Kwak Jung-hee confessed her resentment towards her Vietnamese daughter-in-law.
On the 28th, Kwak Jung-hee appeared on MBN‘s ‘Ssokpuli Show Dongchimi’ and talked about how ‘I’m being treated like an invisible person by my Vietnamese daughter-in-law.’.
Kwak Jung-hee, who has been living with her son and his wife for about a year, said, “My daughter-in-law sleeps late. These days, she sleeps until 1 or 2 in the afternoon. She doesn‘t clean or do any housework,“ and surprised the panelists by saying, “(My daughter-in-law) doesn’t eat with us, but instead serves food on a separate tray and eats alone in her room.
Kwak Jeong-hee then confided in her daughter-in-law about an anecdote that made her feel the most sorry. “In the past, while filming a mini-drama, I tore my cruciate ligament and had surgery. I was in a situation where a caregiver had to take care of all my urination and defecation. I had no choice but to return home because it was the Chuseok holiday,” she said. “My daughter, who was seven months pregnant at the time, washed me and cooked for me. I felt sorry for my daughter who did all the housework, so I asked my daughter-in-law to just cook me some food, and she just cooked it for me and left.” He said, ”She doesn‘t want to meet me.“
He said, ”I got upset thinking about what I had nagged her about to deserve this treatment,“ and added, ”Sometimes I thought to my son, ’If you two are so happy living together, you should go out and live together.‘ I couldn’t tell him because he‘s my daughter.“
Park Soo-hong then asked, ”Does your daughter-in-law watch your grandchild from inside the room?“ and Kwak Jung-hee said, ”Yes, I can only see my grandchild for five to ten minutes a day.“
In addition, Kwak Jung-hee heard some shocking words while trying to look after her grandchild. “My daughter-in-law gave birth, and my brother-in-law came to take care of the postpartum care. So when I said I would look after the grandchild if I didn’t have work, my son said, ‘I don‘t like it. It’s dirty. Don‘t touch the baby.’ It turned out that Kwak Jeong-hee was raising a 15-year-old dog, and that she was expressing her dislike for the dog’s hand to touch the baby. However, Kwak Jeong-hee added, “I cried for several days at that remark,”, which made people feel sorry.
