“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.

Former AOA member Kwon Min Ah—who opened up in the past about being bullied—has once again shared a deep and emotional message on social media, leaving fans feeling concerned and sending love.

On April 23, Min Ah took to her Instagram to write:
“I don’t know if I’ve become completely twisted, or if I’m just scared. Maybe I’m afraid the same thing will happen again. Everything feels scary. And I want to say something sharp to myself too—get it together.”

Along with the message, she posted a selfie where she wore a red knit top, had her hair half-up, and showed a soft pout with a calm expression. Though her outfit and style looked casual, the mood of her words felt heavy.

Fans aren’t sure if Min Ah was directing the message toward someone else or simply speaking to herself. The final line, “get it together,” sounds like a tough love reminder to herself—but also makes many wonder what she’s been going through recently.

People quickly filled the comment section with supportive messages, telling her to stay strong and reminding her she’s not alone.

Min Ah debuted with AOA in 2012 and left the group in 2019. In 2020, she made headlines when she revealed that she had been bullied during her time in the group. The confession caused a huge reaction in the K-pop world, leading to conversations about idols’ mental health and group dynamics.

Recently, she surprised fans when it was revealed she began working as a manager at a dermatology clinic, showing a new side of her life outside of the entertainment spotlight.

Fans continue to cheer her on, hoping she finds peace and happiness in whatever path she chooses next.
