Former announcer Oh Jeong-yeon opened up about her challenging family history in a heartfelt confession.
On May 5, she uploaded a video on her channel meeting with a shaman to seek guidance. The shaman remarked that while she possesses great potential, her capacity to contain it is limited, indicating that she has much to share and help others. Oh acknowledged, “There are many ways I can help,” revealing a depth of responsibility she feels for her family.
She described herself as a pillar in her household, being the eldest daughter and head of the family. Although the shaman suggested she should find comfort, Oh felt relief in acknowledging her past struggles, sharing that she has endured a long period of hardship. This moment of recognition prompted the shaman to express concern about someone who is causing her distress, to which Oh nodded in agreement, reflecting on the burdens she carries.
As the shaman offered words of comfort, Oh was visibly moved and shed tears. She reassured herself that being someone who can give is preferable, despite the overwhelming responsibilities she shoulders. Reflecting on how others might perceive her life as effortless, she candidly admitted, “I had numerous obligations to fulfill and couldn’t step away from that role,” highlighting the stark contrast between appearance and reality.
In a positive light, Oh noted that although she lived without knowing her own desires, the experiences have ultimately shaped her into who she is today and acknowledged that she appreciates this transformation. This introspection reveals her resilience, and she continues to navigate the complexities of her journey.
