On 'Misunderstood Family', actress Kang Ye-won (47) shared her heartbreaking recent efforts to resolve her late father's debts.

In the the 14th broadcast of SBS 'Misunderstood Family' (hereinafter 'Mi-oo-sae'), episode 499, Kang Ye-won's daily life since her father passed away on April 30 was depicted.

On that day, Kang Ye-won learned from her legal representative that her father's debt amounted to 1.1 billion won. She sobbed, saying, "I only found out about the debt after he passed away. It came all at once, and I'm just... Well, since he raised me so well, it's only natural for a daughter to do what she can, but I don't know what to do. This is so difficult, and I don't even understand what to say. What should I do if I don't have money right now?"

In response, the legal representative explained, "If you inherit but the debt exceeds the inherited assets, there is a legal system called 'limited acceptance' designed for such cases." Limited acceptance is a system where the deceased's debts are repaid only up to the value of the inherited assets. The representative added, "For example, if you inherit 1 billion won but the debt is 2 billion won, you are not required to repay more than 1 billion won."

The representative then offered a concrete solution: "Your mother should apply for limited acceptance and consider selling the apartment to settle the debts. It would be best for you and your younger sibling to renounce inheritance."

Hearing this, Kang Ye-won wiped away tears, saying, "This is the house where our family of four has lived for over 30 years since I was in high school. To have to sell the only home we have... it's so heartbreaking."

Additionally, the legal representative noted, "There may be debts incurred from operating a business. Debts under the company's name or corporate registration are unrelated to inheritance, so they do not need to be repaid."

However, Kang Ye-won expressed her sense of duty: "I visited the vice president and an employee who worked with my father for 17 years. We shared soju and tea, and spent time together. Morally, I feel compelled to help them. They have been by my father's side for a long time, so they feel more like family to me than I do. Even though I have no legal obligation, I want to do whatever I can to repay the unpaid amounts. It's strange that I'm the only one talking about money. The employees actually told me to stop worrying about it and just focus on my father's well-being. They are that kind of people. I'm truly sorry." In reality, Kang Ye-won later met with the employees who had worked closely with her father for years and provided them with part of their outstanding wages.

'Misunderstood Family' airs every Sunday at 9 p.m.
