Lee Ji-hye, a broadcaster formerly of the mixed-gender group Sharp, opened up about her family background.

On the 9th, a video titled "Even if I’m attention-seeking, I’ll be loved for who I am" was released on the YouTube channel 'Sae-Neul-Ha-Seo' (Bless Us Again).

On that day, Lee Ji-hye shared details about her family life. She said, "My mother was a truly dedicated woman with strong maternal love who deeply cared for her children. My father was very handsome. He had his own talents and was the youngest son of a relatively wealthy family."

She continued, "We used to run a bossam restaurant in Jang-an-dong. The business did well, and my mother worked so hard that I sometimes wondered if she was pushing herself too much. My father had a billiards hall next to the restaurant and would go there frequently." She added, "He married young and seemed to have many desires. Perhaps he felt lonely. He helped my mother a lot, but there were also aspects where he kept his distance."

She further stated, "There was infidelity and other issues like that, so the wounds I saw in my mother hit hard during my adolescence. That’s why I dropped out of school." She added, "So my mother said, 'If it’s too hard, how about studying abroad?' and 'Try starting fresh in a new place away from this situation.' As a result, I went to Australia when I was in the first year of high school."

Lee Ji-hye revealed, "I didn’t feel better just by going. It got worse. I stayed with an Australian homestay family there, and their daughter was extremely wild. She tried to get me to smoke cigarettes, and even though I was a minor, she made me drink alcohol."
