Singer Hari Su opened up about the time she underwent gender reassignment surgery.

Hari Su appeared on the MBN variety show “Sokpuri Show Dongchimi,” which aired on the 14th.

On that day, Hari Su began by saying, “My mother had known my gender identity since I was young,” and added, “There was once a time when I was taken to the police station for cross-dressing.”

She said, “The police asked my mother why she raised her son that way. I felt sorry for my mother because she was being humiliated because of me.”

She then revealed, “I underwent gender reassignment surgery in 1995, but there really was no information available at the time. After saving up for the surgery costs, I told my mother I was going to have the operation, and she asked, ‘Do you absolutely have to do it?’ It was truly difficult then. I committed an act of unfilial piety.”

Hari Su shared, “At that time, there were almost no hospitals in Korea performing gender reassignment surgery. They said I could lose my life during the operation. Family consent was required, but my father did not even know I was having the surgery.”

She added, “My father found out about it and told my mother, ‘Why did you let her have the surgery? It is hard enough to live as a man in our country; do you know how difficult life is as a woman?’ After enduring immense pain, I was discharged after three weeks, but my bank balance was 1 million won. So I started working three weeks after the surgery.”

Meanwhile, Hari Su, the first transgender entertainer in Korea, debuted in 2001 with her first studio album “Temptation” and received much love from the public.
