“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 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.
