Shim Hyung-tak said, "I even heard voices..." this highlighted the mental pain he endured due to his mother's debt.
In 'The Return of Superman,' Shim Hyung-tak referenced the wedding that became a scar, shedding light on his heartbreaking family history once again.
On the 23rd, actor Shim Hyung-tak garnered much love from viewers by sharing the warm daily life with his Japanese wife Hirai Saya and son Ryo on KBS2's entertainment show 'The Return of Superman,' amidst renewed attention on his painful family history.
Shim Hyung-tak previously appeared on TV Chosun's 'Lovers of Joseon' and confessed that he suffered extreme mental pain due to his mother's recurring financial problems. He explained during the broadcast, "My mother borrowed a huge sum using my name, and it ultimately led to a civil lawsuit," detailing the background of his two-year hiatus from activities.
At that time, Shim Hyung-tak revealed, "I once told my mother, 'Please save me, I feel like I'm going to die,'" sharing the pain he experienced then. He continued, "At some point, I started hearing voices. I heard people cursing at me," sharing the mental aftereffects and revealing the reason for his departure from 'Cultwo Show,' generating sympathy.
He stated that despite going through a difficult period due to being embroiled in his mother's unreasonable investment debt guarantees and lawsuits worth hundreds of millions, he was able to rise again thanks to the devoted support of his Japanese wife Hirai Saya. Ultimately, the court ordered Shim Hyung-tak's mother to pay about 300 million won in principal and interest, and acquitted Shim Hyung-tak himself.
Amid this, on the 23rd, his recent situation revealed on 'Superman is Back' is attracting attention again. He recounted the situation during his wedding, admitting to the deep scars of having no blood relatives at the ceremony. Following his story, netizens are sending support with comments like, "An actor I hope does even better," "Deserves to be loved," and, "Learning about his family history brought tears during 'Superman is Back.'"
