Hwang Hyun-ju, a broadcaster and counselor who was formerly an announcer, has revealed her past experience of domestic violence during her marriage.

On the 15th, a video titled "What Was More Terrifying Than Divorce Was the Gaze of People. It Took Me Time to Let Go of a Perfect Life" was released on the YouTube channel 'GOODTV'.

That day, Hwang Hyun-ju said, "After working for so long, around the age of 33, I decided it was time to get married. I was a missionary child who had lived in Israel for 20 years. I thought his faith would be good. I wondered if a son raised under his mother would have faith."

She continued, "However, I experienced domestic violence as soon as we got married. I can laugh about it now, but I went through things I couldn't even imagine. I tried hard, but the domestic violence kept escalating. One day, he threw a nail clipper at my face. Then he groveled and begged for forgiveness."

She explained, "The repetitive pattern continued. He was so strong that he would spin people around like animals and then throw them. It was scary. In trying to escape to survive, I was dragged through an elevator. When I pointed out, 'There's a CCTV over there,' I thought he was coaxing me to take me home, but instead, he led me to the emergency stairs. Then he pushed me down the stairs."

She added, "I met a lawyer to consult about divorce. He said that even though he wasn't drunk and was completely sober, such behavior was truly cruel and terrifying. But even then, I couldn't divorce. I was afraid. I think I was afraid of people's gaze. I think there was pride in me that didn't want to ruin my perfect life."

Hwang Hyun-ju said, "In the end, we got divorced. I have no regrets because I did my absolute best. I put my heart and effort into protecting the family, so I have no regrets. There were scars from what I experienced, but I counseled teenagers at a shelter. I healed from my wounds and grew through the experience. As I visualized those situations, I began counseling by visiting them every week."

Meanwhile, Hwang Hyun-ju worked as an announcer at Yeosu MBC, CBS, and YTN. She is currently active as a freelance broadcaster and counselor.
