Model and entertainer Hong Jinkyung opened up about the emotional moment that made her cry after her divorce.
On the episode of MBC's 'Sora and Jinkyung' that aired on the 17th, Hong Jinkyung personally talked about her divorce.
That day, when Lee Sora mentioned her ex-husband, Hong Jinkyung said, "He's truly a good person. We're completely good friends now. Person to person, he's genuinely a very good friend," revealing that they still maintain a good relationship even after the divorce.
Hearing this, Lee Sora commented, "Isn’t he such a sweet person?" Hong Jinkyung replied, "There’s this cold noodle restaurant we used to visit often. Even after the divorce, the three of us, including Rael, still go there together to eat. We're completely cool with it, but the staff working there get really flustered," sharing a story about their post-divorce relationship.
Hong Jinkyung also shared, "Last Chuseok, I was home alone and reality suddenly hit me. I thought, 'It’s really over now.' So I called my ex mother-in-law just to check in on her, but I suddenly burst into tears. I cried so hard. It was the first time."
She continued calmly, "At that moment, my ex mother-in-law was actually the one comforting me. She told me, 'Jinkyung-ah, it’s okay. In life, all sort of things can happen, and I believe you'll still live well.' She also said, 'You’re Rael’s mother, so you need to stay strong and pull yourself together.' She was the one reassuring me instead," touching viewers emotionally.
In response, Lee Sora said, "There are so many different forms of relationships in this world. It's nice to hear your story," showing her support for Hong Jinkyung.
Meanwhile, Hong Jinkyung married a non-celebrity businessman in 2003, and the couple has a daughter named Rael. She announced their divorce last year.
