Single Mom Star Yoo Hye-jung Shares Fashion Tips and Personal Struggles on 'Living Together with Hwang Shin-hye'

On the upcoming episode of KBS's 'Living Together with Hwang Shin-hye', airing on the 18th, viewers will get a glimpse into the lives of single moms in the entertainment industry.

Actress Yoo Hye-jung meets with fellow single moms Hwang Shin-hye, Jang Yoon-jung, and Jung Ga-eun at a trendy vintage shop. Yoo, a former Miss World University winner and Blue Dragon Film Award recipient, has been a trailblazer in the industry.

After her divorce, Yoo ventured into the fashion business to support her family, running a clothing store for 15 years. During the shopping trip, she shares her seasoned fashion tips with the other moms. Yoo particularly helps Jang Yoon-jung, who is not typically into shopping, by recommending a personalized wardrobe makeover. Jang embraces bold fashion choices and showcases her toned abs, drawing attention.

Yoo Hye-jung's unexpected cooking skills are also revealed. As a fan of Hwang Shin-hye, she decides to prepare 'Shin-hye's Curry' from Hwang's YouTube channel. However, her novice cooking skills, such as unevenly chopped vegetables and premature ingredient additions, surprise everyone. Hwang Shin-hye playfully teases her but soon steps in to guide her, showing her supportive side.

Yoo opens up about the challenges she faced while running her store. She shares the emotional toll and health issues that led to surgery, and recounts an incident where she was verbally attacked by a customer in front of her daughter due to her celebrity status. Yoo recalls the pain her daughter felt upon learning about her mother's divorce from friends. This prompted Yoo to prioritize her daughter's well-being, leading her to step back from the spotlight for a while. Encouraged by her daughter's words, "Mom, you're the coolest when you're acting," Yoo is now ready to return to acting, receiving warm support from her fellow moms.
