Shim Hyung-tak, the inside story of his 2-year hiatus from entertainment activities

Actor Shim Hyung-tak revealed the circumstances surrounding his hiatus from activities for the past two years.

In the trailer for TV Chosun's 'Joseon's Lover' aired on the night of the 10th, Shim Hyung-tak said, "It was so hard, it was so hard, really," and gave the reason for his hiatus for the past two years.

Shim Hyeong-tak said, "One day, a letter arrived. It was a civil lawsuit. My mother borrowed money in my name," and confessed his discord with his mother, saying, "I want to leave that house. I can't live there."

He confessed, “At some point, people started swearing at me,” and that he suffered from various mental pains, including auditory hallucinations. Shim Hyeong-tak said he couldn't work and recalled the time, saying, "I want to rest for a while. I don't think I can work anymore, it's too tiring."

Shim Hyung-tak said about his Japanese fiancée Saya, who watched him silently, "What must it be like for Saya to see that? I go into the room and can't say a word," and shed tears, saying, "I feel so sorry for Saya."

Shim Hyung-tak, who was sitting next to Saya, shed tears, and Saya, who asked, "Huh? Are you crying?" also got teary-eyed and said, "Sim shouldn't cry. If Shim is sad, I'm sad too," drawing attention. Saya added, “I just want to be next to (Shim Hyung-tak) and make him feel good again.”

In response, Shim Hyung-tak said, “I met an angel,” and expressed his gratitude for his guardian, Saya.

Meanwhile, Shim Hyung-tak promised to marry Saya, whom he met four years ago while on a business trip to Japan. Ms. Saya is Japanese, 18 years younger than her. The two are planning to get married in July, and the process will be revealed through 'Joseon's Lover'.
