Lee Ji-hyun, Divorced Twice, Says, "It Was Hard to Endure the Abuse Directed at My Child"... Opens Up About Hurt After Appearing on 'My Golden Kids'

[Financial News] Lee Ji-hyun, a former member of the group Jewelry, revealed that she was hurt by malicious comments directed at her child after appearing on Channel A's 'My Golden Kids.'
In a video released on the YouTube channel 'Saeropge Hasoseo' on the 9th, Lee Ji-hyun discussed the difficulties she experienced while raising her children alone. "Because of the nature of being a celebrity, there are times when people dislike you because your words are interpreted differently from what you intended, even when you say the same thing," she said. "But it was hard to endure the abuse directed at my child."
Lee Ji-hyun previously appeared on 'My Golden Kids' with her son Woo-kyung, who was diagnosed with ADHD in 2022. Explaining why she decided to appear on the show, she said, "Before we went on the program, Woo-kyung experienced great pain after being forced to leave kindergarten. I also desperately needed help because I did not know how to raise my child." She added, "I desperately wanted to meet Dr. Oh Eun-young. However, no problems were apparent in Woo-kyung at the beginning of filming, and because it was a television program, things began moving in the direction of provoking him to bring out problems."
She said the malicious comments after the broadcast were directed at her child as well. "I understand that the program had no choice but to do certain things. But because only the provocative parts were edited and broadcast, things went in an unexpected direction," Lee Ji-hyun said. "I am used to criticism directed at me, but it was different when people insulted my child. I felt as though I had become a sinner in my child's eyes, and I was sorry." She continued, "I usually do not read comments, but I felt I had to read the ones about my child. It felt like my flesh was being torn apart."
Lee Ji-hyun married a non-celebrity in 2013 and had a son and a daughter. She divorced in 2016, remarried the following year, and divorced again in 2020. She is currently raising both children alone.
