“Queen Of Tears” actor Park Sung Hoon recently shared a heart-wrenching account of his family’s financial struggles.
In the latest episode of the tvN program ‘Hangout With Yoo’, Park Sung Hoon debunked rumors about his affluent background, revealing a starkly different reality.
His father lost his job during the IMF crisis, plunging his family into severe poverty during his high school years.
He shared a particularly poignant anecdote that brought his parents’ plight into sharp focus.
Park Sung Hoon recalled a moment during his military service when he was granted his first day off in eight months.
Excited, he called his mother, expecting a joyous reaction. Instead, she sounded troubled and asked him, “Sunghoon-ah, can you not take the day off?”
His mother explained that she and his father were barely surviving on just kimchi and water. If Park Sung Hoon came home, she wouldn’t be able to give him even a small amount of pocket money, which was unthinkable for her.
This phone call hit Park Sung Hoon hard, leaving him shocked at the extent of his parents’ financial struggles. “After the phone call, I think I cried a lot,” he confessed.
Fans were deeply moved by this revelation but also expressed pride in all his accomplishments to date, wishing him even greater success in the future.
