T-ara’s Areum Reveals Feelings After Exposing Husband’s Child Abuse, “I Need To Be The Strongest Person”
Former T-ara member Areum expressed her feelings for the first time after accusing her ex-husband of child abuse
On March 6th, Areum said, “I need to eat well and be healthy. Even if it’s a bit slow, I need to take good care of my mind and be the strongest person until everything is settled down”, adding “The most important thing in life is not how much you have fallen but how courageous you are when moving forward again, and how stronger you have become every time you fall without giving up until the end”.
She continued, “A person who has something to protect becomes stronger after falling”, adding “I hope everyone can live more strongly today to protect yourselves”.
Announcing her divorce and remarriage in December last year, Areum caused a stir by revealing that her ex-husband abused her children. Releasing photos of bruises on the bodies of her children, she said, “During our marriage, Kim (her ex-husband got involved in gambling, loans, and never provided living expenses for the family”, adding “He threw the child less than a year old onto the bed. The five-year-old child was hit and kicked out of the house for making noises while Kim and his mother were sleeping. In addition, he also spitted on the children’s mouths, peed on their faces, and pooped on the face of the older child.”
Areum also pointed out that her ex-husband assaulted her and she already collected enough evidence to win against him in the divorce lawsuit. She said, “Once he touched my son, I would not allow mercy and forgiveness”.
