Actress Park Kyung-hye has encountered yet another mishap while living alone.
On the 8th, the YouTube channel 'Kyung-hye's Vlog' uploaded a video titled 'After the Mouse Attack, Now a 'Broken Car'.'
In the video, Park Kyung-hye explained, “I was trying to take my car out to go to a premiere, but it suddenly wouldn't move forward. I got out to check and found that the tire was flat.” She continued, “This is the first time something like this has happened. The car was running perfectly fine until yesterday, so I was really taken aback,” and she called for emergency roadside assistance.
Upon arrival, the roadside assistance technician discovered that it wasn't just a simple flat tire. The car's shock absorber spring had broken due to aging, and the debris had torn the tire. The technician advised that the car needed to be towed to a repair shop for fixing.
Park Kyung-hye explained, “The spring inside the car had aged and broken, and its edge had scratched and torn the tire.” She added, “Since I recently moved, I'm not familiar with local repair shops, so I contacted the one I usually go to.”
The main issue was obtaining the necessary parts. The repair shop indicated that both springs might need to be replaced, which could cost up to 400,000 won. Park Kyung-hye jokingly asked, “Should I just get a new car?” with a wry smile.
While her car was being repaired, Park Kyung-hye explored public transportation options to attend the premiere. She mentioned, “Fortunately, I scheduled my appointment a bit early, so I think I can still make it to the premiere.”
After returning home, Park Kyung-hye reflected on the situation with a sigh of relief. She said, “If the spring had broken while driving, it could have led to a major accident. It's a relief that it didn't happen on the road, which could have affected other vehicles.”
She also expressed gratitude, saying, “I'm lucky that the towing technicians and others on the road weren't affected.”
Ultimately, the car was towed to a repair shop and fixed, allowing it to be driven again. Park Kyung-hye commented, “The car is all fixed now,” and added, “I'm just glad it didn't lead to a bigger accident.”
Previously, Park Kyung-hye had experienced other car-related issues, such as a corroded battery that wouldn't start and malfunctioning heated seats. With the spring damage, she faced yet another 'car ordeal.'
Despite the unexpected car troubles, Park Kyung-hye maintained a cheerful attitude, saying, “It's unsettling when these things happen, but looking back, it's something to laugh about,” ending the situation on a positive note.
