Actress Hwang Jung-eum confessed that she sold the gold she received at her two sons' first birthday parties to cover living expenses, as her income has dried up while she is taking a break from acting.

On the 21st, a video titled "The Day I Get Bombarded with Questions from My Hwang Golds" was released on the YouTube channel "Hwang Jung-eum." On this day, Hwang shared updates by answering various questions from her subscribers.

In particular, when asked about her current income, Hwang revealed, "I am taking a break from acting, and my income is zero won. It is the first time since I was 26 that I have not earned money, so it was very confusing and scary."

She continued, "I sold all the gold that could be converted to cash. I sold all the gold I received at Wang-ik's and Kang-ik's first birthday parties, and when I canceled my insurance policies, some money came out. I am managing to live well enough with that," which surprised many.

Nevertheless, Hwang stated that she maintains a positive mindset even in difficult circumstances. She said, "It is a matter of choice. Even in the worst situation, I must find what I can do," adding, "Willpower becomes energy, and when that energy is released, it becomes reality."

She also shared, "Even when there were 500 won in my bank account, I dreamed of buying a building worth 10 billion won. There is not a single dream I have written down in my book that I have not achieved," and revealed her unwavering passion for acting by stating, "I achieved the Best Newcomer Award and Choi U (수상), and I am still working on the dream of winning the Best Actress award, which has been ongoing for 13 years."

Along with this, Hwang shared stories about her recently changed appearance. She said, "My friends called and were in an uproar. They said it looked like I had ironed my face. They asked where I got a lift done," candidly revealing the fact of the procedure.

Hwang explained, "I get thread lifting once a year. I was worried about my nasolabial folds, but they have been smoothed out completely." She added, "My mouth appears relatively protrusive, but the hospital said it would be fine after a week."

She continued with a joke, "Every time I smile, I look like the Joker. So I am covering my face with my hand while smiling."

She also added, "There is a procedure called sculpting injections that slims and refines the facial lines. I have been doing it flexibly according to my condition for two years," noting, "I only do those two things."

Meanwhile, Hwang married Lee Young-don, a businessman and former professional golfer, in 2016 and has two sons, but announced their separation in 2024.
