"Not a single blood relative came to my wedding." Actor Shim Hyung-tak revealed his family struggles and expressed deep gratitude to his Japanese wife, Saya.
On the 23rd, during the broadcast of KBS 2TV's entertainment program 'The Return of Superman' (abbreviated as 'Superman is back'), Shim Hyung-tak joined as a new Superman. He shared his daily life while taking care of his son, Haru, who is 164 days old.
Haru already showcased a doll-like appearance. He proudly displayed his cuteness, resembling his tall and handsome father and his mother, Saya, known to resemble BTS member Jungkook. Moreover, Shim Hyung-tak's earnest but clumsy care for Haru added warmth.
However, there was pain for Shim Hyung-tak before establishing a happy family. He was estranged from his family due to significant wounds. Therefore, reflecting on his wedding with his wife, Saya, Shim Hyung-tak revealed, "Not a single blood relative came to my wedding. I was all alone." He also emphasized, "I was in so much pain from the deep wounds inflicted by my family that I felt like I could die."
In fact, Shim Hyung-tak was embroiled in a civil lawsuit in 2022, where he and his mother were ordered to repay approximately 477 million won in debts and interest. At that time, the plaintiffs claimed that Shim Hyung-tak's mother borrowed 300 million won and received money into an account in Shim Hyung-tak's name, even signing a joint guarantee confirmation.
However, Shim Hyung-tak was completely unaware of his mother's debt situation at that time. As a result, it was further lamented that he became estranged from family members, including his mother, who borrowed money from acquaintances by taking advantage of her son's fame.
For Shim Hyung-tak, the presence that provided comfort was none other than his wife, Saya. Shim Hyung-tak stated, "The one who gave me a breathing apparatus was my wife," adding, "She helped me breathe again and gave me the great gift of Haru." Furthermore, he expressed, "I want to create a big family in the future," envisioning a happy future.
Additionally, Shim Hyung-tak showcased figures he had collected for about 100 million won over 20 years, revealing his rookie dad side. This raised curiosity about Haru, who is more precious than figures, and Shim Hyung-tak's parenting daily life. Attention is being drawn to the stories Shim Hyung-tak and his family will present as new Supermans on 'Superman is back.'
