"Family has always been a difficult word."
Actress Choi Jin-sil's daughter, Choi Jun-hee, officially announced her wedding coming this May, signaling the start of her second act in life. However, behind this news that should be celebrated lies a deep rift within the family that remains unhealed, which is unfortunate. This is because claims have been made that her grandmother, Jeong Ok-sook, learned about her granddaughter's wedding through YouTube rather than from the family.
According to a recent report on the entertainment channel of Lee Jin-ho, Choi Jun-hee and Jeong Ok-sook's relationship has been completely severed since the 'home invasion report incident' that occurred in July 2023. At that time, Choi Jun-hee reported her grandmother for home invasion along with her boyfriend, escalating the conflict to its peak, and it has been reported that contact between the two has since ceased.
In particular, the announcement of this wedding has brought past anecdotes back into the spotlight, adding to the bitterness. The broadcast reported that when Choi Jun-hee suffered an ankle fracture in a motorcycle accident during her high school years, it was her grandmother, Jeong, who covered the entire hospital bill amounting to millions of won instead of her then-boyfriend, the driver. The reality that the grandmother, who once devoted herself to her granddaughter, now learns about her granddaughter's major life events through a third-party medium creates a stark contrast.
On the 16th, Choi Jun-hee announced through social media that she will tie the knot with a company employee who is 11 years older than her on May 16. She expressed her desire, saying, "Having gone through a gloomy childhood, I want to create a warm fence," and added, "Now, I want to live a solid and warm life as someone's wife, not just as someone's daughter." She also requested that speculation be refrained from considering that her fiancé is a civilian.
As Choi Jun-hee, the child of the late Choi Jin-sil, declares her independence, attention is focused on whether this significant event of marriage will bring any changes to the long-standing conflict between grandmother and granddaughter or if they will continue to live as strangers.
