Lee Sun-kyun’s Wife Jeon Hye-jin Suffered Greatly in 2023: from Drug Scandal to Extramarital Affair
On December 27, “Parasite” actor Lee Sun-kyun was confirmed to have passed away, causing a stir in Korea. The public’s attention is now focused on the wife of Lee Sun-kyun, actress Jeon Hye-jin, who suffered greatly in 2023, drawing sympathy from the public.
In particular, back in October, Lee Sun-kyun was accused of having an extramarital affair with the female manager of a bar and was said to have used drugs at her home. According to Korean media, Jeon Hye-jin was shocked to the point of almost fainting upon hearing the news of her husband’s extramarital affair, and was extremely worried about her children.
Apart from the affair scandal, actor Lee Sun-kyun also allegedly borrowed 350 million won (approx 270,000 USD) from his assistant without Jeon Hye-jin’s knowledge, after being blackmailed by Kim Nam Hee.
On various forums, audiences expressed collective sympathy for Jeon Hye-jin. The actress, known for her virtuous image, devoted herself to her family and her husband’s career, as well as made multiple sacrifices.

While Lee Sun-kyun became the focus of criticism for the drug scandal two months ago, Jeon Hye-jin also suffered collateral damage, having several advertisement gigs canceled. The South Korean media also believed that Jeon Hye-jin had to pay huge compensation amounts to the brands affected by her husband’s scandal.
In fact, to mitigate the consequences caused by her husband, Jeon Hye-jin had to sell a building in Nonhyeon, Gangnam, for 15 billion won (11 million USD).
Not stopping there, she also had to be separated from her son and could not live with her beloved child for an extended period. It is known that amid the scandal of extramarital affair and drug use by Lee Sun-kyun, Jeon Hye-jin promptly arranged for her second son to go abroad to avoid the controversy.
To this day, the actress has to endure the pain of losing her husband amid the ongoing drug case. On various forums, fans have sent sincere words of encouragement to the actress, hoping she will recover her spirits after this major upheaval.
