Actress Myung Se-bin (49) spoke about the financial difficulties she experienced after her divorce.
Myung Se-bin appeared in the preview video of the SBS Plus variety show 'Solo-ra-seo' released on the 2nd. The video showed her recently taking a solo trip to Yangyang, Gangwon Province. Myung Se-bin said, "I really wanted to experience a break from routine," adding, "I like the East Sea, so I chose Yangyang as my first getaway spot."
She then recalled her difficult past while camping with actress Kang Rae-yeon, who happened to be visiting nearby. Myung Se-bin revealed, "After my divorce in my 30s, I had no work for quite some time," and added, "Everyone has their own light, but I felt like that was broken because of the divorce." Watching this in the studio, Chae Rim also commented, "People in the broadcasting industry seem open-minded, but in reality, they are very conservative," and said, "Even those who have been through something like this think that way, so I can only imagine how someone like me feels." Previously, Chae Rim had experienced two divorces.
Myung Se-bin also confessed to Kang Rae-yeon, "Honestly, (since I had no work) I had no money. So I even sold some of my bags." In response, MC Hwang Jung-eum empathized, saying, "I also sold a hat through a secondhand transaction a few days ago," and added, "When I went to meet the buyer in person, they seemed quite surprised."
