Yoo Hye-jung, an actress and former Miss World University winner, talked candidly about her life as a single mother and the hardships she experienced after she divorced Seo Yong-bin, a baseball player, in 2007.

On KBS 1TV's Hwang Shin-hye's "Let's Live Together," Yoo talked about how hard it is to raise her daughter alone while also taking care of her own health and career.

The show focused on a trip to the vintage select shop run by Yoo Hye-jung, who has been supporting her family for 15 years. Yoo said on the show, "I have supported the family by running a clothing store for 15 years," and she also gave viewers tips on how to shop.

Yoo talked about her health concerns while thinking about how hard it is to balance work and family life. She said, "My health deteriorated due to stress, eventually leading to surgery. I was subjected to personal attacks by a customer in front of my daughter simply because I was a well-known actress," per Atstar1.

She also talked about how her divorce affected her young daughter. Yoo said, "My young daughter was hurt when she found out about her mother's divorce through a friend. Thinking I needed to look after my daughter's feelings first, I left the broadcasting industry and focused on spending time with her."

Her comments show how hard it is for many single parents to make emotional decisions when they have to keep their kids away from adult fights.

Yoo really wanted to get back into acting, even if it would be hard. She said, "I will return as an actress thanks to the encouragement from my daughter, who says Mom is at her coolest when she acts," This shows that she still has a strong bond with her child and wants to be an actress again, Naver reported.

Yoo Hye-jung's story is a powerful example of strength and dedication, and it shows the sacrifices that many single mothers in Korea make that people don't always see.

Her willingness to talk about personal attacks, health issues, and parenting issues gives public figures a more nuanced view of life after divorce.
