Broadcaster Ahn Seon-young has directly revealed the reason for her separation from her husband.

On the 22nd, Ahn Seon-young released a video titled "The Reason Why You Can Only Become Unhappy the More You Use Social Media" through her YouTube channel.

Ahn Seon-young said, "After passing my 60th birthday, I no longer pretend to be happy in a shop window just to show others, nor do I force myself to do so. When I see families that are harmonious and parents who get along well, I feel more than envy—I feel jealousy."

Ahn Seon-young added, "I never grew up seeing such things. My mother, who had a failed marriage and became a widow at a young age, vented her resentment and anger at me when I was young. There was anger at the unfairness of the world. Even though I built my own family, I always felt I was lacking, and that's why I longed even more for a harmonious and affectionate couple. Why couldn't I live like that? These thoughts made me extremely unhappy."

She continued, "In fact, my mother has suffered from dementia for a long time, and I fell ill. My relationship with my husband also deteriorated. We promised never to fight in front of our child, and even though the child is still immature and we might engage in power struggles, we agreed to always act as one team as parents. I started calmly discussing these unresolved conclusions because, beyond the moments when I felt intimidated by seeing how perfectly equipped, stylish, and successful others appeared on social media, there was a time when I hit rock bottom in my life for a year."

Ahn Seon-young stated, "My mother collapsed from a stroke and can no longer control her bodily functions, so I have to change her diapers every day at home. Even while living under the same roof, I felt my husband was worse than those around me. I managed to cover all of this with a sense of accomplishment from my work, but it was later revealed that an employee I had worked with for four years had embezzled funds for three years and seven months. Everything was at its worst."

Previously, after divorce rumors surfaced last August, Ahn Seon-young said, "We haven't been compatible as a couple for several years and don't live together, but as parents, we work well together. For the sake of our child, we are living separately yet together, adapting to our individual lives." She added, "If we continued living like this, everyone would be unhappy. That's why I concluded that we should separate a bit. Although we live separately, we actually talk to each other every day."
