[unreal.livejournal.com]

Actress Jung So Min revealed that she had not spoken to her father in over 9 years.

She was recently a guest on SBS’s Strong Heart where she revealed that her relationship with her father is strained. She surprised everyone by saying,

“I haven’t spoken to my father in about 9 years. He was against me pursuing my dreams of becoming an actress because he wanted me to live a normal life. I was young back then, so naturally I became rebellious. Now that I’m an adult and have succeeded in becoming an actress, I feel regretful for what I did to him especially since he has been waiting for me at the same place ever since.”

Jung So Min‘s confession shocked everyone. Now that she has talked about her strained relationship with her father, maybe she can take the steps needed to fix their relationship.

I don't have problems with mah pops, but we still only talk once every two years or so. He has kids I haven't even met. No idea wae it's like this.

If she wants to work on their relationship, she should. If not... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

the difference is when you don't talk to them because you fought.
I think she should do it in any way... It's her father who probably wanted her to be happy by not living a celebrity's life...

If she does it, I would hope it's not grudgingly. She shouldn't do it simply because he's her father. That what I meant. I'm not someone who cares to have a relationship with someone just because they are related to me. It's not a common opinion, I'm sure.

Since she's regretful, there's probably things she wants to say. I'm sure she'll make an effort.

Well we have completely different point of view then, to me she should do it simply because it's her father.
It's not any relationship.
But I'm not gonna argue, the way we think is surely heavily influenced by our own personal stories and stuffs.

wow 9 years ?? well i hope they fix their relationship before it's too late.

I can't imagine not speaking to my parents for that long, no matter how much they infuriate me most of the time.

[albeitalways.livejournal.com]

this. my parents can drive me to near blinding postal rage often enough, but i can't actually see myself ignoring them for the rest of my life.

[sisterjune.livejournal.com]

yeah exactly. my dad esp pisses me off on numerous occasions but he is my dad and I cant hate him and I cant cut him out of my life. and definitely not my mom! I'm a momma's girl.

[asth77.livejournal.com]

She must suffer a lot.
I barely spoke to my father the past 3 months because of an argument... I know how it feels.

[paulaaaaa.livejournal.com]

I didn't speak with my father for 2 weeks before and it was hard for me already.

[tsuyoi-hikari.livejournal.com]

I don't know how she does this but not speaking to your Dad for over 9 years are just crazy. Imagine the heartbreak her father must feel that even after she become an actress, she still hasn't take the step to mend their relationship. He probably didn't want her to pursue that kind of life because he wants the best for her. I hope she will take the next step before it's too late. :/ Same goes to her dad as well.

i can't even imagine how her father will feel watching this :( i can't go one week without seeing my father. /daddy's girl

and while we're talking about jung somin, everyone should watch her sitcom, stand up. why? lee kiwoo. nuff' said.

Going on tv and talking about your strained relationship doesn't help....
*icon, her dad did the same thing only made things worse, well until she had kids that is.*

[ginevragirl.livejournal.com]

So she's around mid-twenties I believe, so she basically hasn't talked to her dad since she was 16/17. That's sad. I know she lived with her grandparents for awhile and is very close with them, so this must be the reason she did that.

[ababobaby.livejournal.com]

He must have said such harsh words for her not to talk to him for 9 years. But seriously, if not one of them makes the effort, then they really wouldn't be able to talk to each other

[sadistic-dance.livejournal.com]

I don't talk to my father either. I think the last time I talked to him I was 17 or 18 and the time before that I was just a kid. He's a dick though so no big deal.

[valieleen.livejournal.com]

Wait. She's a 89er, so... she must've stopped talking to her Dad when she was around 13-14?!

Kind of awkward telling this on TV... I hope she's going to contact him eventually.

She seems like a really sweet girl, I like her. I hope she talks to her dad again and there are no hard feelings between them.

[lonelymoon.livejournal.com]

I hope she'll open the communication lines again. I understand the way her dad reacted, I mean, most parents do not want their kids to become entertainers. It's just such a difficult industry, full of shady deals and sexual abuse and all about knowing the right people. If I were a parent, I'd want my child to have a happy, stable, successful life, and most of the time that doesn't really apply to entertainers :|

Is it weird that I don't even talk to my parents? I mean, I won't ignore them and i do love them but idk, I never have a conversation with them...
Idky, but I can't openly talk to them about my feelings :/

Makes me wonder if I'll ever contact my parents in the future when I move out. I mean, I probably will but thinking about it, what would i even say? lol i can't even say happy birthday to them without feeling a little awkward -.-
