Actress Han Geuru has drawn public attention by revealing the economic hardships she faced while raising twins alone after her divorce, along with the heartbreaking story of why she had to give up property division.
On the 21st, Han Geuru appeared on 'Let's Live Together with Hwang Shin-hye' and candidly shared the realistic difficulties she experienced after her divorce. She confessed, "At the time of the divorce, I didn't receive any property division, so I initially had not a single penny in my hands," recalling how tight her financial situation was, saying, "After using the child support for living expenses, there was no extra money left."
The decisive reason why Han Geuru gave up her rightful property division was because of her 'children'. She expressed that she did not want to show her children the conflicts over financial issues during the divorce process. Instead, she only asked the children's father to "meet the kids often" without any other conditions.
This is closely related to Han Geuru's own childhood trauma. She mentioned the emptiness she felt while being apart from her biological father, conveying her sincere wish that "my children would not feel the absence of their father as much as I did," evoking sympathy. It was a decision reflecting her maternal instinct to not pass down her pain to her children.
Such statements reminded people of Han Geuru's past family controversy. Previously, Han Geuru had been embroiled in an 'image-making' controversy after referring to her step-siblings from a remarried family as if they were her biological siblings early in her career. At that time, she acknowledged the non-blood relationship and apologized for unintentionally causing hurt during the interview process. Her mature handling of the divorce process seems to be based on her past experiences.
Additionally, Han Geuru revealed that she informed her parents of the divorce only after completing all the procedures. It was a consideration to avoid involving her parents' generation in the conflict. Fortunately, her parents are said to have quietly supported their daughter's decision.
Meanwhile, born in 1992, Han Geuru married a businessman 9 years her senior in 2015 and has twins, but they divorced by mutual agreement in 2022. After a period of absence, she has recently returned as the lead in the drama 'Cinderella Game', continuing her proud journey as an actress and a single mom.
