Ham So-won's mother has voiced her concerns about her daughter's reconciliation with her ex-husband, Jin Hua, citing worries about her granddaughter.
On the 4th, MBN's 'Dongchimi' released a preview clip titled 'A Grandmother's Heartache Over Her Stressed Granddaughter: Will She Grow Up Normally Under Such Stress?'
In the video, Ham So-won's mother expressed her frustration towards her daughter, who continues to live with her ex-husband despite their divorce. She said, "If you keep doing this, the child will be confused." She advised Ham So-won, who frequently argues with Jin Hua, "You should think about teaching and guiding everything, not fighting."
In an interview with the production team, Ham So-won's mother shared her complex feelings, saying, "As long as they don't fight, I am okay with my daughter supporting them. I can't bear to watch them if they continue like this." However, she revealed her opposition to their reconciliation, stating, "It seems like there's never a day without fighting."
She particularly mentioned her 8-year-old granddaughter, Hyejeong, saying, "When I asked her if she felt bad because her mom and dad were fighting, she said, 'Yes, I'm stressed.' Her hands were red." Ham So-won's mother added, "Then I hold her and cry. I keep wondering if she can grow up normally under such stress. These thoughts keep breaking my heart."
Meanwhile, Ham So-won married Jin Hua, a Chinese national 18 years her junior, in 2017 and gave birth to their daughter, Hyejeong. However, after their divorce in 2022, she is currently raising her daughter in Korea.
