Actress Kang Eun-bi confessed to her painful past of struggling with malicious comments and loneliness. She opened up about the painful times hidden behind her bright smile, evoking sympathy.
On the 5th, Kang Eun-bi, who recently announced her marriage, made an appearance on TV Chosun's entertainment program 'Lovers of Joseon', showing her face on screen after a long time. As soon as she appeared, the MCs admired her unchanged youthful beauty, and Hwang Bo elicited laughter by saying, 'I think I'm the only one getting older.'
However, the atmosphere soon turned heavy. Kang Eun-bi revealed the pain hidden behind her glamorous debut. She said, 'I was so grateful that I didn't have a period of anonymity. I received Rookie of the Year and garnered a lot of attention, but it was overwhelming to handle at the young age of 19 and 20,' adding, 'The malicious comments and the eyes of those around me were too difficult to bear.'
She continued, 'My school days were not pleasant either. I was always alone and was a despised child. Even after debuting in the entertainment industry, I was still faced with the same disdain, which made me think, “Was I born wrong?”' revealing her deep scars.
She confessed, 'I've always had thoughts like, “I want to die” in my head. It wasn't because I was a bad person or unlikable; I just wanted to erase my existence.'
Her husband, Byun Jun-pil, who appeared with her, said, 'I've seen Kang Eun-bi crying alone in the bathroom. I was so worried that I couldn't sleep.' He recalled a painful moment, saying, 'Once, I saw signs of self-harm and reported it to the police. At that time, the police conducted an investigation, and she also received treatment in the hospital.'
Although Kang Eun-bi has been loved for her bright and cheerful image, her confession revealed the reality of an entertainer hidden behind glamour and resonated deeply.
Meanwhile, Kang Eun-bi recently announced her marriage to Byun Jun-pil and is sharing her changed life and future plans through broadcasts.
