Saori, a Japanese broadcaster who worked as a couple on ‘We Got Married’ with Jung Hyung-don, gave a surprise update after 15 years.
On the 11th, on the YouTube channel ‘Recent Olympics’, a video was posted under the title, ‘The current state of tears, a broadcaster who tried to get married with Jung Hyung-don’. The main character of the video was Saori, who gained great popularity through KBS 2TV’s ‘Talking to the Beauties’ and MBC’s ‘We Got Married’ in the past.
However, Saori disappeared from the broadcasting industry for the last time in 2007. He said, “I have a child. There was a person I trusted in Korea, but they had very different opinions. I decided to raise the child,” he said, announcing the current state of being a single mother.
He continued, “One day, while pregnant, I met one of my aunts at a department store. He tried to pretend he knew me, but he pretended not to know me.” “I found out later that I was embarrassed. Her aunt said she was Korean, and she said, ‘It’s embarrassing for a woman to raise a child alone in Korea’. Even to her friends, she told Saori that she was married and living well in Japan, but she asked what she would do when she came to Korea. She told her to live in hiding in Japan where she only raised children. She was so shocked that she continued to live in Japan,” she explained.
He is smiling now, but at the time, because of the difficult situation, he shed tears every day. “I really tried to leave this world many times,” he said. Still, he stopped at the thought that he shouldn’t do that to a child.”
So, how did Saori live in the meantime? “I have only raised children for 10 years,” he said. He has worked part-time in cafes and restaurants serving, dental assistant, and clothing stores. I still don’t know if it’s really good or not. Is it really embarrassing? Still, I want to live proudly.” “My daughter also knows that I was active in broadcasting in Korea. She once put out a CD, and she listened to it and imitated it. I asked if he knew BTS as well,” he said, shivering.
Saori also mentioned Jung Hyung-don, who worked as a couple in ‘We Got Married’, saying, “I miss you and I want to meet you.” Also, regarding Jung Hyung Don and Taeyeon (Girls’ Generation) as a couple, he said, “I like Taeyeon. He also likes to sing, and he always likes Taeyeon to the point where he hears a lot of songs even in Japan. So he felt rather close and wanted to meet him,” he said.
Finally, he said, “To be honest, it’s just hard work. It is very insecure for a woman to raise a child alone. I’ve never done the trivial thing of eating sweets with the kids, like the rest of the family, where dad drives and mom sits in the back. When I have a picnic in the park, I am alone with my daughter. You have to show a smile, I think. I came to Korea because I had the courage to live with a smile again.” “Let’s all be happy together so that we can live with a smile. If you call me, I will work hard.”
