Yulhee gave an update on her recent activities through ‘Now I‘m Alone’ after a long time.

On the 7th episode of the TV CHOSUN observational entertainment program ‘Now I’m Alone’ that aired at 10 PM on the 22nd, Yulhee revealed her feelings after her divorce and shared her true feelings about why she had no choice but to give up custody for the sake of her three children after much thought.

Yulhee, who had a happy married life in her ideal family after retirement, was suddenly faced with a crisis. Yulhee recalled the time when she had contemplated divorce for about a year and confessed her feelings, saying, “When the word ‘divorce’ first came up, I tried to overcome it while thinking of my children, but it didn‘t go as planned in the end.”



Yulhee shared her experience with postpartum depression after becoming a mother. After giving birth to her first child, she recalled the time when she would just cry along with her crying baby, confessing, “I didn’t know it at the time, but after giving birth to my second and third children, I realized that I had postpartum depression.” She looked back on the time when she only blamed herself for being inadequate. Jo Yoon-hee, who was watching, also said that she had postpartum depression, sympathizing and comforting her, saying, “I‘m happy to have a child, but I was so depressed and so sad.”

Yul-hee also opened up for the first time about the reason she gave up custody. She said, “I wanted them to grow up in a financially stable and realistically better environment.” She confessed that it was a decision she made after worrying that her children would have a harder time because of her, who would have to live like she was heading towards the ground after a divorce. Although they are apart now, Yulhee expressed her determination for the second act of her life, saying that she wants to be a mother that her children will not be ashamed of in the future.

‘I’m Alone Now’, a real observational entertainment show that captures the journey of people who are alone again adapting to the world and finding happiness, warmly portrays the second act of life of recovery and growth that unfolds in honest lives. Episode 8 will air on TV CHOSUN at 10 PM next week, Tuesday, October 29.
