There are stars who have confessed to being victims of domestic violence. It is difficult to talk about domestic violence even if it is experienced. It is because of the fact that it has been established as a trauma, and that it does not want to be noticed. However, it also has the effect of raising awareness about domestic violence by notifying the victim. This is why support and consolation are poured out to those who confessed to being victims of domestic violence.
Singer Phillip Ryu recently appeared on Channel A's 'Oh Eun-young's Golden Side Counseling Center' and reported that he had suffered domestic violence in the past. He said, "One day, my father said he was raising us in America. I didn't want to be a burden to my mother, so I went to America."
Afterwards, Phillip Ryu said that he was exploited as a laborer without receiving a single penny. Even Ryu Phillip's father was in a situation where he wasted his fortune through gambling. Phillip Ryu said that he endured with his father's promise to send him to college, but when it was time to go to school, he said that he would inherit the restaurant and ran away at night.
Seo Jeong-hee was also a person who had a similar pain. Her ex-husband Seo Se-won, who is now deceased, shocked Jeong-hee Seo by assaulting her during about 30 years of marriage.
Regarding this, Seo Jeong-hee said, "After the divorce, I received psychiatric trauma treatment for 1 year and 6 months." Even an indirect confession.
In addition, Yoo Jae-hwan appeared on a broadcast in 2021 and said, “I have two parents, one was the best person for me and the other was the worst person. I think there will be," he said.
"It's a memory I wanted to forget. So I hope it doesn't come back, but I remember it for the rest of my life. Because those moments keep repeating, I think there's some distortion of the image of a man or father." I think I only ended up dating. I hated the past and hated the past coming back. So, no matter who I love, I think I made sure that my father didn't appear."
Yoo Jae-hwan hinted that the pain was still there, saying, "Seeing you keep avoiding it, the weight must have been a bit heavy. I was really scared and afraid. I still remember it so vividly. I'm worried that I'll remain a vivid nightmare for someone like this for the rest of my life."
Domestic violence comes unexpectedly. It's not the victim's fault, but it becomes a trauma and becomes a label. Stars who publicly announced the damage. A sad narrative is hidden behind their bright faces. Now, I hope to find the public with unshaded laughter and good news.
