Shattered Dreams and Shaken Lives: Baek Su-ryeon’s Heart-Wrenching Tale of Loss and Resilience

[TV리포트=이혜미 기자] Actress Baek Su-ryeon shared her story of losing over 10 billion won due to a series of business failures and fraud.

On the 31st, Baek Su-ryeon appeared as a guest on MBN’s ‘Dongchimi’ and introduced her life story with many twists and turns.

Baek Su-ryeon, who lost her husband Kim In-tae in 2018, said, “I’m a woman who causes a lot of trouble. I’m more clumsy than you might think and I listen to others well,” and added, “I met my husband when I started my acting career in the late 1950s. That’s when I got into trouble.”

He said, “As I started making some money, people with dark hearts started to gather around me. I started with real estate fraud and then aesthetic fraud. At the time, I joined hands with a doctor of Oriental medicine and suffered huge losses,” and “I even lost the guarantee I had with my son’s house as collateral.”

Then, she confessed, “One day, while I was paying off my debt, my husband caught me buying it. At that time, my husband told me to pay off the debt quickly. The amount was so large that it later reached 10 billion won,” causing shock.

Regarding the deceased’s Parkinson’s disease battle during his lifetime, Baek Su-ryeon wrote, “I went to all the famous hospitals, but they couldn’t diagnose me. Then, after a year of being sick, I was diagnosed with neurogenic Parkinson’s disease. The doctor asked if I was under a lot of stress, and I felt a pang in my chest.” She continued, “From then on, I went through a huge ordeal. I didn’t have money, and I was in debt, but I had no job, so I started a restaurant to make money, but I lost money there again.”

“Eventually, when the IMF came and our house was auctioned off, my husband became weaker and his smile disappeared,” Baek Su-ryeon explained.

He said, “At that time, I was running a store and went to Gwangju where my husband was three times a week. I did my best, but in the end, I went to heaven.” He added, “I still have debt. However, I think that debt of 300 million won is a source of energy.”
