Actress Han Ga-in sympathized with the frustration of “K-second daughters”.
In the March 17th episode of SBS’s “Circle House”, the cast talked about “the first born’s sacrifice and the second born’s sorrow” in daily life.
The cast had a tight race from the start. “K-eldest son” Lee Seung-gi and “K-second children” Noh Hong-chul, Han Ga-in, Lee Jung, Oh Eun-young had a heated discussion about who was sadder.
Han Ga-in drew attention by saying, “I really have a lot to say about my older sister. When I was in high school, my sister hit me a lot.” The actress surprised everyone as she added, “She grabbed my head, hit my stomach, bit my toes, and my feet bled. She also punched my teeth, so I told my mother, ‘Mom, I think she broke my teeth.’ Then my mom hit my sister a lot.”
Han Ga-in continued, “I don’t even have a first birthday photograph because I’m the second child. My sister did everything for me, but since I’m the second one, I grew up roughly. My sister went to kindergarten for several years, but I didn’t even attend it. My sister taught me Hangul, and I learned it by ear.”
She then revealed an anecdote, “My sister once said that she would get married first. Even if she gives up everything else, she can never let me get married before her. In the end, my sister got married 4 months earlier than me and gave birth to a child first.”
At the same time, Han Ga-in confessed, “At some point, we accept everything and understand each other’s differences. Now she’s almost my best friend and who I talk to a lot. She’s really a friend who I can talk to about everything.”
Han Ga-in married actor Yeon Jung-hoon in 2005. She has one son and one daughter, including her first daughter born in 2016 and her second son born in 2019. Perhaps that’s why she said that she understood her parents’ feelings. She also sympathized by saying, “I had to let go of the second one.”
Regarding this, Dr. Oh Eun-young shared, “It can be seen as favoritism, but when having the first child, we have no experience in parenting, so we have no choice but to pay more attention. In the second one’s case, mothers and fathers have accumulated experience. In fact, children raised comfortably often grow up much better. That’s why the second child is sociable.”
