Kim Hyun-sook 'Shocking Confession About Ex-Husband's Actions Before Divorce'...Mother Raising Child Alone, While She Stayed Out Late

Actress Kim Hyun-sook is causing a stir by revealing shocking behavior of her ex-husband that she only learned about before their divorce. On the 9th episode of MBN 'Sokpuri Show Dongchimi', Kim Hyun-sook disclosed the shocking fact that while she was busy filming, her mother was taking care of the child alone, and her ex-husband was frequently staying out late until dawn.

During the broadcast themed 'I Married a Trash', Kim Hyun-sook could not hide her anger towards her ex-husband, saying, 'I was the only one who didn’t know about his late nights.' She explained the situation in detail, revealing her shock at the truth she learned late and her guilt towards her mother.

The Dedication of Her Mother Traveling Weekly from Miryang to Seoul for Two Years

Kim Hyun-sook explained, 'When our son was a newborn, I was very busy filming for the drama 'The Spoiled Lady'. I had only a few days off throughout the year. I started working just two months after giving birth,' showing how busy her schedule was.

What stands out is her mother's extreme dedication. Kim Hyun-sook recalled, 'I am so grateful that my mom came every week from Miryang to Seoul for two years to take care of my child,' adding, 'Since my mom was involved in church, she would go down on Saturdays and come back up on Sunday evenings.'

This was not just simple help but an extreme sacrifice. Despite her old age, traveling weekly by KTX between Miryang and Seoul to care for a newborn must have been a significant physical and mental burden.

The Reality of Caring for a Newborn and Her Ex-Husband's Irresponsibility

Kim Hyun-sook vividly described the difficulties of caring for a newborn. 'When taking care of a newborn, those who have done it know that accidents can happen easily, so you can't even eat properly, and you have to carry the baby to the bathroom. Everything has to be adjusted for the baby,' she explained.

In that situation, Kim Hyun-sook said, 'I thought my husband was helping my mom.' But the reality was the opposite. She revealed, 'Later, when I was about to divorce, my mom told me that while she was watching the baby, my ex-husband was drinking and often came home late at dawn,' exposing a shocking truth.

Her Mother's Silence and Consideration for Her Daughter

What is even more heartbreaking is that her mother endured all of this alone and did not inform her daughter. When Kim Hyun-sook asked, 'Why are you telling me this now?' her mother replied, 'I was worried it would upset you too much.'

Kim Hyun-sook could not hide her anger, saying, 'My mom traveled every week by KTX for two years at her age.' This is not just simple anger but a complex expression of betrayal towards her ex-husband, who made her mother's sacrifice in vain, and guilt towards her mother.

The Decision to Divorce Made to 'Live for Myself'

In June, on the same program, Kim Hyun-sook explained her reasons for divorce in more detail. She said, 'My ex-husband did not have good financial stability. I knew all of that when I married, so I thought if I worked hard and earned money, he would take good care of the child and help with the household, and we would be very happy.'

But the reality was different. Kim Hyun-sook mentioned, 'Being a couple means we can't just live for ourselves. There are many flies around us. They come flying in when they smell something. Unintentionally, I was also affected by that,' referring to the negative influence of the surrounding environment.

In the end, she confessed, 'I was arrogant, thinking everything would change as I wanted. I thought that if there was something bad, it would turn into something good, but it went down the bad path. At that time, I thought I had to survive, which led me to decide to divorce.'

Stories That Can't Be Fully Told on Air

During the broadcast, actress Kim Young-ok asked, 'I wonder if the child's father often checks on the child and shows interest,' to which Kim Hyun-sook replied with a smile, 'I hope so.' However, she then added, 'I will tell you separately in the waiting room later,' hinting at more serious stories that could not be revealed on air.

In fact, Kim Hyun-sook has only indirectly mentioned her reasons for divorce in the past. When she appeared on the YouTube channel 'Strange Sisters' in August 2022, she said, 'There is the other person's privacy, so it's hard to talk about,' but added, 'It wasn't an affair. I sometimes wonder if it would have been better if it had been an affair,' leaving a lingering impression.

The Journey from Marriage in 2014 to Divorce in 2020

Kim Hyun-sook married a non-celebrity of the same age in 2014 and has one son. Their family appeared together on TV Chosun's 'The Taste of Wife', showcasing their affectionate daily life. At that time, the broadcast showed a harmonious family image, garnering envy from viewers.

However, this was only the appearance. In reality, Kim Hyun-sook was bearing the financial burden alone, while her mother was fully responsible for childcare, and her husband was acting irresponsibly. Ultimately, after their divorce in 2020, Kim Hyun-sook is raising her son alone.
