Actress Hwang Jung-eum revealed that her 72-year-old father currently has a girlfriend.

On the 16th, a video titled "A Day Out with My 72-Year-Old Dad" was uploaded to Hwang Jung-eum's YouTube channel.

Hwang Jung-eum recently took her father, who had undergone eye surgery, to an ophthalmology clinic. Her father stated, "I injured my right eye while swimming with my grandson. The left eye has glaucoma."

Hwang Jung-eum said, "We're going to check the progress after surgery," and added, "Since Dad's eyes aren't doing well, I also get checked up every time I come with him."

She also admitted that her own vision is poor. Hwang Jung-eum remarked, "I can't see very well anymore. It started getting worse after I had my son," and shared, "As I've gone through all kinds of life challenges—ups, downs, and even mid-air battles—my vision has declined along with everything else. Why am I losing so much hair these days?"

Upon arriving at the hospital, Hwang Jung-eum commented on her father's silence: "He used to be extremely humorous and full of energy, but since he's been helping me with childcare for five months now, he's become depressed."

Hearing this, Hwang Jung-eum's father explained his own struggles with parenting: "Because I'm so busy taking care of the kids, she takes her stress out on me."

The doctor examining Hwang Jung-eum's father said, "Your left eye is in the late stages of glaucoma. There are areas where you can't see at all. Although some vision remains, it's quite severe."

Hwang Jung-eum's eye condition was also revealed. The doctor stated, "The shape of your optic nerve looks good and doesn't appear to be typical of glaucoma. However, there is a cup-to-disc ratio that raises suspicion of glaucoma. That said, fortunately, if only the shape and size are abnormal without other damage, we don't diagnose it as glaucoma." He added, "Overall, your eyes are in good condition."

However, Hwang Jung-eum mentioned, "My eyes feel extremely dry and I'm very tired." In response, the doctor explained, "Once you enter your 40s, presbyopia sets in. That's unavoidable."

After leaving the hospital following treatment, when asked by the production team who had been caring for her father after his eye surgery, Hwang Jung-eum replied, "Dad's girlfriend." She added, "No matter what I try to do, the two of them handle things on their own."

When the production team then asked, "Do you get along well with your father's girlfriend?" she responded, "I just want to express my gratitude. It's such a wonderful thing. But since Mom is still around, Dad should enjoy his life with his girlfriend."
