Comedian Jung Seon-hee recently reflected on her late husband, Ahn Jae-hwan, in a revealing interview.
In a video posted on the YouTube channel "Shall We Listen?", she shared her emotional journey after his passing. Jung expressed her surprise and denial at the reality of his death, remembering the overwhelming feelings of guilt and confusion that followed. She also admitted that she was unaware of the financial struggles he faced, which contributed to his deep depression, ultimately affecting their relationship.
Jung Seon-hee noted that the challenges of being a public figure added another layer of complexity to her grief. She felt like she was under suspicion from others and struggled with feelings of responsibility for her husband's struggles. This emotional turmoil was compounded by the rumors circulating about their relationship during that difficult time.
Reflecting on her experiences, Jung revealed that she felt deprived of the opportunity to grieve in private. She had to deal with the expectations and scrutiny that came with being in the public eye. As she recounted the pain of those moments, the impact of losing Ahn Jae-hwan remained profoundly etched in her heart.
Sadly, Ahn Jae-hwan, who was also an actor, passed away just over a year after their marriage on September 8, 2008.
