Former child star Moon Hyuk revealed the shocking reasons behind his decision to work as a delivery rider, after his dramatic fall from fame.

On January 16, Moon Hyuk appeared on MBN's "Special Report World" and shared the details of his life today.

He first rose to fame at just 4 years old on MBC’s "Police Captain," later gaining recognition as a "genius child actor" when he won a Special Award at the 1992 Blue Dragon Film Awards for his role in "Our Twisted Hero."

Despite his early success, Moon Hyuk opened up about his struggles, saying, "In today’s terms, I was road-casted. There were times when I couldn’t attend school for a whole week, and at the peak of my career, I missed an entire semester." However, after stepping away from acting, Moon Hyuk now works as a delivery rider.

He explained the reason behind his career shift, sharing, "When COVID-19 hit, everything came to a complete stop—performances and projects. I needed to make a living, so I started doing a lot of part-time jobs." Moon Hyuk admitted he initially felt deep self-doubt, asking himself, "Why am I doing this?" But over time, he accepted his new life, saying, "I realized I couldn’t keep struggling with past mistakes. I decided to be open about working as a delivery rider."

Moon Hyuk also revealed that a key turning point in his career was his experience with the highly anticipated project "Yainshidae." He recalled, "I was cast in a good role and felt so happy. But after drinking and something happening while I was asleep, I was told the next day that the filming schedule had changed and they couldn’t work with me anymore. It was a huge shock. My heart just dropped."

After "Yainshidae," acting opportunities became scarce, and Moon Hyuk explained, "Currently, I’ve become a writer with two scripts contracted." He also shared a deeply personal moment, revealing that his mother had suggested, "I think it would be nice if you found someone and lived together while I’m still healthy."

However, Moon Hyuk revealed a painful chapter in his personal life, saying, "I was preparing for marriage, but due to an unfortunate event, the engagement was called off. The shock from that made me feel very small and isolated, and I struggled for about three years. I was drinking every day, and my body deteriorated badly." He added, "There were times when I was watching TV at home, but when I came to my senses, I was on Mapo Bridge."

Moon Hyuk’s dream of becoming a good husband and father was shattered by the breakup, leaving him feeling lost. He reflected, "When the engagement broke off, that dream collapsed, and I think the impact was huge." Despite the hardships, Moon Hyuk remains hopeful for the future, continuing his journey with new determination.

Former S.E.S member Shoo (Yoo Soo Young) warmed hearts as she shared a touching moment with her twin daughters—taking them to the same wholesale market where she once worked during a difficult time in her life.

On May 8, Shoo posted several photos on Instagram showing her spending time with her twin daughters, Ra Hee and Ra Yul, at the Dongdaemun wholesale market. In the caption, she wrote, “Did everyone enjoy the holiday? I feel like I made a memory I’ll never forget for the rest of my life.”

The photos showed Shoo and her daughters smiling brightly while eating and shopping together. Her daughters, now visibly grown up, were even seen wearing similar shoes and clothes as their mom.

Shoo opened up about a painful chapter in her past. “When I was struggling, I once sold clothes I got from Dongdaemun with the help of a friend,” she shared. “I used to go there from night to early morning, picking up fleece clothes, hairpins, and shoes, thinking, ‘My kids would love this if I brought them here.’”

Now that her daughters are older, Shoo finally fulfilled that dream. “We laughed so much while shopping. We bought hairpins, socks, and clothes together,” she said. “They’ve grown so much—they can even wear the same things as me.”

Reflecting on the experience, she added, “Memories of my past flashed before my eyes. I told them how I used to work late at night, carrying heavy bags and walking around for 10 hours straight.”

Shoo emotionally concluded, “I was so happy to show my kids the nighttime world I once worked in.”

Fans who remember Shoo’s twins from The Return of Superman were touched to see how much they’ve grown. Shoo, now a proud mom of three, continues to update fans through her TV appearances and social media, showing her strength as both a mother and former idol.
