Actress Kim Hye-young has revealed the reason behind her eight-year absence from public life.

On the 25th, Kim Hye-young appeared on Channel A's variety program "Beauty Clinic Touch Me" as the first defector actress to return. Kim Hye-young was an actress who received great affection with titles such as "North Korea's Hwang Shin-hye" and "Defector IU."

On this day, Kim Hye-young stated, "I took a break for eight years. There were difficult times, and I felt I needed to focus on my child, so I completely stopped appearing in broadcasts and rested for eight years."

It was reported that she had gone through a difficult period due to divorce, fraud, and other issues during that time.

However, Kim Hye-young decided to return to activities. She explained, "One day, my child suddenly asked me, 'Mom, when were you happiest?' When I said, 'I was happiest when working on broadcast projects,' he told me, 'Mom, do what makes you happy; that way you'll smile.' That's when I realized I needed to get back to work. That was three or four years ago."

Afterward, Kim Hye-young met comedian Kim Hyun-young, who is a close friend.

She revealed that her face and body had changed during those difficult times. Currently, she mentioned that she is going through menopause and her son is in puberty. She said, "I kept holding back my anger instead of expressing it, so stress built up. I gained 8 kilograms over six months."

Hearing this, Kim Hyun-young told Kim Hye-young, "You should meet a good person. Is getting divorced a crime?" In response, Kim Hye-young said, "I won't invest in men anymore. I want to invest in my own face," drawing a line against remarriage.

Meanwhile, Kim Hye-young defected from North Korea in 1998 and settled in South Korea, gaining attention as the first defector actress. She has experienced three divorces. When she married her second husband, actor Kim Sung-tae, she held her son in her arms. Later, after her third marriage, she divorced when her ex-husband was arrested in 2018 on charges including stock price manipulation and violation of the Capital Markets Act.
