Actor Kim Hye-eun deleted a post targeting author Yoo Si-min, who sparked controversy by criticizing Seol Nan-young, the spouse of Kim Moon-soo, the presidential candidate of the People Power Party.
A graduate of Seoul National University with a major in vocal music, Kim Hye-eun stated on her social media on the 31st, "I don't think I have ever been ashamed of my education from Seoul National University as much as I am today. I really want to apologize on behalf of others."
He said, "A person's education and intelligence are worthless boasts to those who speak of the hard-earned evidence of life, like a mere piece of paper." He added, "Those who judge and denigrate someone else's life possess the most shameful tongue."
He continued, "I respect women like Seol Nan-young, who have dedicated their lives to supporting a man’s dreams while being responsible for their livelihoods, while also striving to throw themselves into the fight for justice as women labor activists. I have more respect for them because I don't think I could live that way."
He mentioned, "My mother, who has devoted her life to making her daughter a vocalist, my aunt, who has only made kalguksu at the same spot in Seodong Market her whole life, Seol Nan-young, who quietly stood by her husband without ever using a corporate credit card while managing the household for her husband and children, and teacher Kim Yeong-ok, who demonstrates her resilience to her juniors every day," adding, "Those women, who diligently strive to do their best in their own positions every day, are my true role models and the driving force of my life."
Kim Hye-eun added, "I’m not a highly educated person, nor am I a rotten intellectual living in a sense of superiority that looks down on high school graduates just because I graduated from Seoul National University. As a woman living in this era, today is truly heartbreaking with such harsh words." After the controversy arose, seemingly feeling burdened by the outpouring of attention, she deleted the post.
Previously, on the YouTube broadcast "Das Boot" hosted by Yoo Ji-sun, which aired on the 28th, he commented on Seol Nan-young, saying, "The position of being the spouse of a presidential candidate from a major political party is a position that Seol Nan-young cannot aspire to in her life. So it means 'she’s out of her mind.'"
