Beloved Actress Reveals Son’s Honest Response To Husband’s Cheating Scandal

On October 13, actress Jang Shin Young appeared as a special MC on SBS’s My Little Old Boy.

The panel was cautious in asking about her husband’s affair controversy that had been all over the news.

It wasn’t easy to decide to appear on the show. More articles were released about it than I thought. I also lost my confidence because I thought it might be wrong for me to appear now. Although I thought maybe it wasn’t time yet, I also gathered the courage to come here, hoping that people watching would understand.

When asked how she’s been doing, she answered honestly.

There have been many difficult times, but we’re trying to get our lives back to normal. I was losing my balance, so I worked hard to return to my normal self. I can’t do anything about what’s already been done, so I’ve been working on how I can rebuild our family for the future.

She also touched upon the divorce rumors that spread online.

We heard a lot of different stories, and since this is our job, it was difficult to show our position. I was especially worried that my first child would get hurt by the articles. I told him not to look at them and only listen to what I had to say for now.

She also revealed her son’s reaction to his father’s affair.

“Many people were worried about my oldest child. We went to the Han River and talked about the situation. I told him that I wanted him to trust and wait for me. I asked him not to read or listen to anything now, and I would tell you everything later, honestly. My child waited for me. I was sorry and felt guilty. But I thought it would be better to talk about it than to keep hiding it.

So, after everything was settled, I explained everything honestly to him. I opened up about everything he asked without hiding anything. I thought this might be cruel to him, but talking to him from one adult to another, he accepted it.”
