Korean broadcaster Jung Sun-hee has candidly shared her feelings about the 'bereavement' label often associated with her name.
On October 8, a video titled "Jung Sun-hee Chats Openly with Her Production Team!" was uploaded to the 'Jung Sun-hee's Homecoming' channel.
In the video, Jung Sun-hee discussed the direction of her channel with her production team and addressed the expressions that have followed her in media reports.
She cautiously stated, "I'm fine with how things are. I don't like it when too many people suddenly flock to me, and I don't enjoy being the talk of the town due to a sudden 'boom'."
Jung Sun-hee also expressed her stance on certain recurring expressions in article titles.
Regarding articles about her, she said, "I've decided not to care because they'll be published anyway. I take this opportunity to ask if you could remove that idiom from in front of my name. It's been a long time since I lost someone. I want to try standing on my own now."
She further expressed her discomfort, asking, "Are you deliberately using that sorrowful idiom?"
Jung Sun-hee added, "If it's necessary, I have nothing more to say, but I shyly ask you to consider whether we really need to attach that idiom to Jung Sun-hee's articles."
When asked about 'comments', Jung Sun-hee admitted, "I do read them. The sincerity is truly touching," and regarding negative comments, she said, "Compared to what I've been through, they're like child's play. Once I decided to continue my activities, I stopped worrying about them twice or thrice."
Jung Sun-hee married actor Ahn Jae-hwan in 2007, but he passed away in 2008.
