Actress Hwang Jung-eum addressed the controversy over donating discarded toys.

On the 26th, a video titled "Day of Self-Dyeing Hair with 72-Year-Old Dad" was uploaded to Hwang Jung-eum's YouTube channel.

On that day, Hwang Jung-eum revealed her home, saying, "I moved and am currently organizing things."

Looking at her son's toys placed in the living room, she said, "I organized a huge number of toys," and added, "But my son had a birthday recently, so more were added."

Hwang Jung-eum also addressed the recent controversy over toy donations. She said, "I intended to donate with good intentions, but I hastily uploaded photos in a disorganized state, which led to many misunderstandings."

She then added, "But the people who came in person wrote positive reviews, so it was resolved well," and showed a bitter smile.

Earlier, in February, Hwang Jung-eum announced that she would be giving away toys for free at her home in Itaewon-dong, Yongsan-gu, Seoul. However, controversy over "discarded waste donation" arose because the toys shown in the photos released at the time were placed on the ground near a trash collection site, and some products were damaged.

In response, Hwang Jung-eum did not offer any particular stance. However, a netizen who visited the toy donation site posted a review on their SNS, stating, "The children's toys were in two places, not just on the floor but also on car beds. They did not look like waste at all. (Hwang Jung-eum) even provided shopping bags and was very kind. Thanks to that, I came back after spending over an hour looking around with my son."

Seeing this, Hwang Jung-eum wrote a comment saying, "Thank you. Since it was an article that was not true anyway, I was not responding." She then added, "I saw it because people around me said the post appeared. Please talk about it a lot since we are donating toys, baby clothes, and books. Take care of your cold."

Meanwhile, Hwang Jung-eum married in 2016 and experienced a divorce crisis once in 2020 but reconciled. She has two sons but divorced in 2024.
