Influencer Park Hye-min, wife of actor Cho Ji-hwan and sister-in-law of comedian Cho Hye-ryeon, opened up about the conflicts and emotional struggles she experienced following her husband's back surgery.

On the 23rd, Park Hye-min posted a lengthy message along with several photos on her Instagram, writing, "Is the pre-dawn hour before sunrise truly the darkest? Just when will it end?"

Recalling the time she tried to dissuade her husband from undergoing back surgery, she shared: "I pleaded with him three times, 'Please don't have back surgery,' but he casually decided, saying, 'It's fine. It won't even take 30 minutes.' I told him one last time to think it over again, and he replied, 'You've never once agreed with my decisions,' before boldly getting on the operating table."

However, she revealed that her husband struggled with post-surgery complications. Photos released alongside her post show Cho Ji-hwan diligently undergoing rehabilitation after his back surgery. She said, "Starting the day after the surgery, it wasn't his back that hurt anymore—it was his neck. The pain lasted for over a month." She confessed, "Inside, I thought, 'See? I told you so.'"

She revealed they have been married for 11 years and added, "The conflict with my husband reached its peak. Even our third-grade daughter, who looks just like us, seemed to do the exact opposite of whatever I said. Living while hiding from both Mr. Chos became too hard." She expressed, "I just wanted to disappear. Am I the problem? Will everything be solved if I simply go away?"

She continued, "For the first time, I took a ten-day break from Instagram. In the past, even such a short break would have made me anxious, but this time, I wanted to slowly face myself. During my break, I wondered if I was causing hardship for my family and wanted to comfort myself a little."

However, seeing her husband suffer from pain throughout the night changed her perspective. She said, "One early morning, I saw my husband groaning all night due to pain, drenched in cold sweat with his clothes soaked through. My resentment lasted only briefly." She added, "Then, my first thought was, 'We must overcome this together.'"

Regarding her daughter, she reflected, "Perhaps my daughter feels pushed aside by her always-busy mother and has been hurt in terms of self-esteem?"

She stated, "Working mothers want to do well at work, manage the household properly, and take good care of their families, but balancing all these is truly difficult. Inevitably, something always gives way somewhere. Still, we concluded that instead of each enduring alone, we should come together again and live well."

She concluded, "There are times when it feels unbearable, yet they are people we cannot live without. Perhaps that is what family means." She added, "So, I will keep getting through today and try to live well tomorrow as well."

Meanwhile, Park Hye-min married Cho Ji-hwan, younger brother of Cho Hye-ryeon, in 2015, and they have one daughter.
