Broadcaster Kim Sae-rom opened up about her thoughts on being labeled a "divorced woman."

On the 2nd, a video titled "First-ever reveal of things Kim Sae-rom, in her 22nd year of debut, had kept inside" was uploaded to the YouTube channel 'Wake Up, Kim Sae-rom.'

That day, the YouTube production team told Kim Sae-rom, "People call you a 'divorced woman' no matter what you do."

In response, Kim Sae-rom said, "But that's partly my fault too. To cover up one frame, you need a bigger frame. Since there hasn't been any activity since then that could clearly define or stamp me as someone different, I can't shake off that frame," she revealed.

Regarding the "divorced woman" label, Kim Sae-rom stated, "I dislike it, but I understand. Disliking something and understanding it are two different things." She added, "Rather than trying to cover it up with various attempts, if I work hard naturally, perhaps someday I'll build a career that can change people's perception of me."

Additionally, Kim Sae-rom recalled her time as a reporter on the past program 'Section TV Entertainment News,' saying, "After 'Section' began, Mr. (Kim) Yong-man told me, 'Don't rush, but don't get tired.'"

Kim Sae-rom said, "It means not getting carried away and floating when things are going well, and not giving in to negative thoughts. Every time I face adversity, that phrase comes to mind. It seems to have been a major source of motivation for me over the past 20 years."

She also expressed her fear of being forgotten. Kim Sae-rom revealed, "Recently, young people don't know me. I haven't been active in my legacy for about 10 years. It's only natural that they don't know me."

Nevertheless, she confessed, "But if your profession is variety entertainment, you can't be like that. So I feel a bit scared and realize I shouldn't just sit back complacently."

Kim Sae-rom said, "People say it's not about rowing when the water comes in, but rather that rowing brings the water in. I'm just continuing to row. I don't know when the water will come, but should I stay still?"

Meanwhile, Kim Sae-rom married chef Lee Chan-oh in 2015 but finalized divorce proceedings after one year and four months in 2017.
