Jung Sun Hee opens up about the aftermath of her husband and friend’s suicides on ‘Incarnation’
Jung Sun Heeappeared onSBS‘ ‘Incarnation‘ and opened up about the emotional toll that the suicides of her husbandAhn Jae Hwanand friendChoi Jin Shilhad on her.
Jung Sun Hee shared,“My life’s ‘line of strength’ is – ‘When I’m going through a very difficult time, I stray away from my happy friends.’ When I was really struggling, I got hurt just from meeting with people. Even if they’re good friends, it was very hard on me after I would meet up with them. I felt like only I was going backwards, and I didn’t have any room in my heart to congratulate those, who unlike me, talked about their future.”
“At the time, it was hard just to live out each day. I hadn’t even finished building my foundation, yet my friends were already building houses. I hated myself for not being able to be ‘cool’ and be sincerely happy for them. I thought that time would heal my pain from that incident, but that wasn’t the case. Thus, I decided it would be best not to meet anyone and focus more time on myself.”
“The world is filled with people in pain. I was able to heal as I hosted a radio show. As I looked at the people who were hurting more than I was, I felt grateful for my situation.”
Jung Sun Hee asked one of her best friendsChoi Hwa Jung,“Unni, how can you be so happy every day?”She replied, “I use facial masks and eat omega-3,”and Jung Sun Hee stated she was thankful for her random, yet comfortable answer.
Yoon Jong Shinshared,“I am meeting Jung Sun Hee for the first time in a long time today, and I thought a lot about how I should greet her and start a conversation with her. Honestly, I even prepared comments for 3-4 of the things Jung Sun Hee was going to talk about.”Jung Sun Hee joked, “I am thankful for inexperienced comfort from men.”
Shin Dong Yupalso brought up his own past to comfort her, sharing,“I also experienced many incidents and accidents. I strayed away from people’s sudden encouragement and felt uncomfortable by it. I needed time to think by myself.”
Cultwo‘sJung Chan Woorevealed, “When I first heard that Jung Sun Hee was going to return to radio, there were a lot of concerns. If I were in her shoes, I wouldn’t have been able to do it. Jung Sun Hee is really amazing.”
