Actress Park Ha-na's social media has been flooded with praise after trainer and TV personality Yang Chi-seung publicly expressed his gratitude for her financial assistance during a difficult period following the closure of his gym.
On April 19, the SBS variety show "My Ugly Duckling" aired an episode featuring Kim Jong-min and Heo Kyung-hwan visiting Yang Chi-seung's new workplace. During the broadcast, Yang shared significant updates about his recent career changes.
Yang Chi-seung revealed, "I closed down my gym and am currently in charge of apartment community facilities. I went from being the owner to an employee. I manage everything from breakfast service to the gym, golf course, and sky lounge," per Daum.
He explained the circumstances surrounding the gym's closure: "It was a building donated to the government. But no one notified the tenants. So all the tenants were kicked out. The funny thing is, they didn't even return the security deposits because they said they had no money."
Per Chosun Biz, regarding the financial impact, Yang stated, "On the broadcast, they stated the total damages were 1.5 billion won or approximately $1,016,714.88, but in reality, the damages were even greater. I took out a mortgage on my apartment and am still paying it back. I even sold my car to refund the gym members."
Yang expressed heartfelt thanks toward Park Ha-na for her support during this challenging time: "I am thankful that actress Park Ha-na called me while I was organizing my belongings on the day of closing down and asked for my bank account number. We argued for 30 minutes, and I reluctantly gave her the number. I was short on money when I was refunding the members, and she was a great help."
Following Yang's remarks, Park Ha-na's Instagram was filled with messages lauding her kindness and character. Comments included, "May you walk only on flower paths and receive many blessings." Another chimed in, "You are a woman of loyalty, you are amazing." and "An actor with great character and class."
Park Ha-na married basketball coach Kim Tae-sul last June, who is one year her senior. She has been open about her ongoing IVF treatment journey to have a child.
