Broadcaster Jeong Seon-hee burst into tears at the warm gaze of the public towards her.
On the 9th, the channel 'Jeong Seon-hee Who Left Home' uploaded a video titled 'Homebody Jeong Seon-hee loses it at the rest area and becomes a woman with a story.. +) Things Jeong Seon-hee didn’t know about herself.'
That day, Jeong Seon-hee went to Danyang for a paragliding experience and took a break at a rest area during her journey. At this time, a fan left a fruit gift, and Jeong Seon-hee was moved and said, 'Am I really doing this? I’m choked up. People are so kind.'
Previously, he had received numerous photo requests just before filming started. He noted, 'I really feel out of place. Because when I go to my house, no one acknowledges me like this. It’s because I didn’t do anything, so they didn’t know. I was scared and didn’t try. I thought the whole world was... I thought it would be like, 'Let’s see what you have,' but I never thought I would be waiting for it.'
The production crew asked, 'Didn’t you read the comments? They’re all good, right?' and Jeong Seon-hee replied, 'Aren't you guys deleting them all?' The production crew drew a line saying, 'No,' and Jeong Seon-hee added, 'I had that. There were many times I was choked up reading the comments because at some point, I stopped looking at them. I was so thankful. I completely forgot about them for more than a decade. About the comment culture. At some point, comments had that image. So I lived with my eyes closed, but when I peeked out, I found it so warm. Why are people so kind?'
He shared, 'What made me emotional is a post that said, I cried. I felt tears coming.' He then noted, 'Someone said they took a day off work to listen to my radio on the day I returned as a radio DJ. I couldn’t remember the date of my return to radio. I wondered what kind of mindset I had back then. How did they know the exact date? It was because they took a day off to listen to my radio. That person said, 'Remember me.' Someone even took a day off work because they missed your voice,' he said, crying.
'When I saw that, I felt so thankful. They actively logged in and wrote a comment after listening to my radio voice. I’ve done it too, but it's not easy to leave a comment. It's not a common thing to do. I was so grateful that night as I casually came in. I wanted to respond to every single one,' he expressed, adding, 'It wasn’t easy to protect Jeong Seon-hee in Korea. Thank you for your hard work.'
Later, Jeong Seon-hee talked about why she challenged paragliding, saying, 'I’ve been avoiding countless moments lately. YouTube was also avoidance, and for over a decade, I didn’t want to face all the situations that made me uncomfortable. Paragliding is symbolic. I feel like if I do this, I will be able to do more. My mother said, 'Why do you want to do that when you’re older?' and told me to pray before I came out.'
Successfully challenged with paragliding, Jeong Seon-hee said, 'I feel relieved. It’s so freeing.' The production crew expressed surprise, saying, 'We thought you would be scared of this,' to which Jeong Seon-hee replied, 'Not only you; I have a lot of misconceptions about myself. I found out I like things like this. Don’t you have such experiences in life? There are manuals you’ve built about yourself, thinking I can't do this, I'm conservative, I'm introverted, I’m shy, and so on. I think I need to reconsider. Is this image I've built for myself? In fact, the journey of discovering myself is YouTube, finding things about myself I never knew existed or realizing I was this kind of person seems really nice. It feels like I'm dating myself,' she laughed, saying, 'I’m glad I did YouTube.'
Meanwhile, Jeong Seon-hee married the late actor Ahn Jae-hwan in 2007 but was widowed the following year. In particular, various conspiracy theories surrounding the death of Ahn Jae-hwan were raised concerning Jeong Seon-hee, and although police investigations revealed these were unfounded, as a result of the controversy, Jeong Seon-hee faced public criticism and had to stop her broadcasting activities.
In a video on the 2nd, Jeong Seon-hee shared a conversation with her niece, saying, 'When the incident occurred, she was 5 years old. She was in shock and hospitalized, teetering on the brink of death. I guess she felt she shouldn’t cry since her aunt was in the hospital.' Jeong Seon-hee expressed, 'I cried when I saw her, but my 5-year-old niece held back her tears looking at me,' revealing her feelings at the time and evoking sympathy.
