Broadcaster Kim Sae-rom shared her thoughts on being labeled a "divorced woman."

On the 2nd, a video titled "First-ever reveal of words 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 a 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 haven't been able to shed that frame."

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 endlessly to cover it up, if I naturally work hard, perhaps someday I can build a career that changes 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 explained, "It means not getting carried away and floating away just because 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, "These days, young people don't know me. I haven't been active in my legacy for about 10 years, so 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 and do nothing."

Kim Sae-rom said, "People say it's not about rowing when the water comes in; rather, 'if you keep rowing, the water will come.' I'm just continuing to row. I don't know when the water will arrive, but can I really stay still?"

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