Actress Jang Ga-hyun shared her recent status through ‘Special Scoop World’.

On the MBN ‘Special Scoop World’ broadcast on the 7th, actress Jang Ga-hyun, who is raising her two children alone after her divorce, attending acting school, and working hard for her main job, appeared. She said about her difficult acting life after marriage, “I acted for 28 years, but after one provocative broadcast, my dramas stopped. I‘ve been on a break for two years.”.

Even during our marriage, her ex-husband was against her acting career. Jang Ga-hyun explained, “I chose to appear in a movie after receiving a difficult offer, but my ex-husband said things like ‘How did you film the bed scene? How did you rehearse the moaning sounds? It stressed me out a lot.”

That day, Jang Ga-hyun visited a tax accountant and confessed, “I expanded my business a lot and ended up in a lot of debt. I filed for bankruptcy for about 300 million won. I filed for bankruptcy and it was completed, but the problem is that I still have about 100 million won left in taxes. Because I can’t pay them regularly, they‘re seizing my debt.”

Jang Ga-hyun started a shopping mall business to make a living while she was married, but she went bankrupt after 3 years due to financial problems. Regarding his assets, he said, “I own a house with a deposit of 30 million won and a monthly rent of 800,000 won, and I think I have no other assets.”

However, after the consultation, the tax accountant explained, “There’s no good solution in terms of tax laws,” and Jang Ki-hyun confessed, “I can‘t do anything because my bank account has been seized. I have 10,000 or 20,000 won in cash, but if my entire bank account is seized, I won’t be able to eat with my son right away. I have to ask my acquaintances for help, so it‘s really hard to live with a normal mindset.”

Jang Ga-hyun had been receiving psychiatric counseling for anxiety disorder and sleep disorder after her divorce, and during the consultation that day, the painful past she had experienced as a child was mentioned. Jang Ga-hyun said, “I didn’t want to be like my mother, so I really didn‘t want to get a divorce. My family was always fighting, screaming and breaking things, so when I was young, my dream was to get married quickly, get out of home quickly, and create a really loving, happy family for my children.”

Jang Ga-hyun then brought up the wounds she received from her parents in the past. “My mom was always home alone, and my dad was always out in the countryside and meeting other women. (After my parents’ divorce) one day, my mom told me to pack my bags, and at night, she put my siblings and I on an express bus and sent us (to my dad‘s house).” She said, “I thought my mom had abandoned us.” After that, the three siblings suffered from abuse by their stepmother and had to endure a painful past.

Also on this day, Jang Ga-hyun found her beautiful college student daughter who looks just like her, and the incredible story of how she ended up giving her daughter birth control was revealed. Jang Ga-hyun had a memory of being kidnapped and beaten by a drunk in the past, barely escaping.

Jang Ga-hyun recalled, “When something bad happened to me, I felt like I wasn’t protected by my mom and dad,” and “When I came back after being kidnapped, my dad just said, ‘Oh my,’ as if it was my fault, and let it go.”

She continued, “(The assailant) forcibly dragged me away while drunk. Even though I screamed for help and was being dragged away, the person who made eye contact ignored me and walked away. I was assaulted and had bruises in my eyes,” she said. “The assailant ran away at dawn while I was drunk and asleep. When it was daylight, I grabbed a milkman and said, ‘Please save me,’ so I came out into the city. I was scared.”

Consequently, Jang Ga-hyun wanted her daughter to grow up bright and healthy, unlike herself who has a negative perception of sex.

Jang Ga-hyun’s daughter said, “It’s shocking that my mom went through something like that when she was young. In fact, I feel even worse because she’s been through a lot at a similar age to me,” and understood her mother’s feelings. The next day, the two took a walk in the park, comforted each other’s hearts, and hugged each other warmly.

Meanwhile, Jang Ga-hyun, who debuted in the 1998 film ‘A Quiet Family’, appeared in KBS2‘s ‘Couple Clinic Love and War’ and became known. In 2000, she married singer Jo Sung-min, a guest vocalist for the group 015B, but divorced in 2020. They even appeared on a divorce program in an attempt to reunite, but they were unable to accept each other.
