Hwang In-hyuk from 'Exclusive World' revealed the story of how he became a shaman.
On the 22nd, 'Exclusive World' aired on MBN, featuring actor Hwang In-hyuk's recent situation.
Hwang In-hyuk, who has walked the path of a shaman for 26 years, moved from Seoul to Cheongju in North Chungcheong Province seven years ago and established his base there. Known as a shaman among shamans, Hwang In-hyuk explained, 'I do everything for those who are possessed. They go to the hospital, visit other shamans, and even conduct rituals for them. Many come to me as a last resort.'
Hwang In-hyuk, who began his career in the entertainment industry as an advertising model, noted that he transitioned to acting. Hwang In-hyuk shared, 'About 25 to 26 years ago, when I would lie down to sleep, a general and a grim reaper would come and stand there. I even went to a mental hospital. I thought about dying. It was too painful. I felt sorry for my parents.'
Hwang In-hyuk, who is the head of a family with one son and one daughter, said the reason he is living apart from his family is that he does not want to hurt his children. Hwang In-hyuk recounted, 'An incident occurred when my eldest daughter was young. (The shaman daughter) asked me to not let our daughter play with her. There were rumors all over the neighborhood which caused a stir. We even moved.'
