Park Han-byeol cries “I kept my family together despite divorce suggestions... My memories are erased” (My dad and I) [TV Comprehensive]
On the 1st, TV CHOSUN‘s ‘My Dad and I’ featured actress Park Han-byul, who returned to broadcasting after a six-year hiatus, and her father, a former soccer coach. They talked about their daily lives on Jeju Island, where they live together after leaving the mainland, as well as the difficult times they endured together over the past six years. MC Jeon Hyun-moo, Lee Seung-yeon, Soo-bin, Lee Gun-joo, and Lim Hyun-sik also joined the event.
Park Han-byul’s father, who said he couldn‘t even say anything for fear of hurting his daughter, expressed his feelings by saying, “It feels like I’ve come out of a long tunnel.” Having suffered from depression and social phobia, he said, “Even if I didn‘t sleep for a few days, I wouldn’t be sleepy and I didn‘t want to eat. “I would wander around the mountain behind the house like a madman at 2 or 3 in the morning,” she said, recalling the painful days. Regarding this, Park Han-byeol said, “My father had a really hard time. He would drink every night, call me, and just sigh deeply. “I could feel the pain just from the sound of her breathing, even without her saying a word,” he remembered.
And Park Han-byul said that in 2019, all of her advertisements and castings fell through, and strangers came to her house where she was alone with her child, so ”every day was like hell.“ People around her advised her to get a divorce, but she said, ”My child didn’t do anything wrong, so I couldn‘t take my family away from me. I made the best choice as a mother,“ and shed tears she had been holding back. She went on to explain, ”I put family first and the reason I made that choice was because, even if my children don’t know it now, they will definitely feel it when they grow up.“ In response to Park Han-byul‘s story, Lee Seung-yeon said, ”I think the thoughts that come up when giving birth to and raising children are similar. I think it’s a mother‘s role to show that she lived well,“ she said, deeply sympathizing.
Park Han-byeol married former Yuri Holdings CEO Yoo In-seok in 2017 and they have two sons. CEO Yoo In-seok was brought to trial on charges of embezzling company money and arranging prostitution while working with Seungri, formerly of group Big Bang. He was sentenced to 1 year and 8 months in prison, suspended for 3 years, in December 2020, and in December 2021, he was sentenced to 6 months in prison, suspended for 2 years, on charges of mobilizing gangsters and threatening an opponent in order to get revenge on Seungri.
TV CHOSUN’s ‘Dad and Me’ airs every Tuesday at 10 p.m.
