‘Tablo’s wife’ Kang Hye Jung reveals hardships of raising daughter Haru, “I guess I was crazy”
Actress & writer Kang Hye Jung talked about her hard time when raising her daughter
The September 3rd broadcast of JTBC’s “Newsroom” featured an interview with Kang Hye Jung who recently made a comeback as a writer.
Last month, Kang Hye Jung recently published an essay book containing her stories, titled “If You’re Half Crazy and Half Happy”. When asked, “When was the moment you think you were half crazy and half happy?”, Kang Hye Jung replied, “The moment I could clearly remember is when I was raising Haru”.
She confessed, “In the case of ‘half crazy’, raising a child was so difficult that I guess I was crazy because I had successfully endured those hard times”, adding “As for ‘half happy’, I remember I was so happy because my daughter was so pretty and cute that I could completely forget about the hardships.”
When asked about the meaning of the introduction, which says, “a book that turns scars into opportunities”, Kang Hye Jung explained, “I experienced them all. I also got hurt that much. I’ve been through just as much. I started writing this essay book in order to empathize with myself. I just collected and described all the things that hurt me, which either remain as scars or have already been healed. That’s how I made this book”.
She added, “As I wrote the stories one after another, I felt that the parts were getting refined. I actually got healed during the process of writing it, like water coming out from a water purifier.”
