Desperate Plea of a Single Mom: How a Mother-in-Law’s Demands Led to Financial Ruin and a Broken Dream of Feeding Her Child
The Inspiring Story of Jiyeonsu: Overcoming Debt and Becoming a Single Mom
Jiyeonsu, a former racing model, married singer Eli from U-KISS in 2014, but their marriage ended in divorce in 2020. After the divorce, Jiyeonsu raised her son alone and faced significant financial challenges.

According to Jiyeonsu, her mother-in-law had asked her to use her husband’s newlywed house deposit to buy a monthly rent house in her husband’s name. However, after the name was changed, the mother-in-law withdrew the deposit and returned to the United States, leaving Jiyeonsu with a significant debt.
Jiyeonsu took on the responsibility of her husband’s supercar installment and living expenses, but eventually became a delinquent with a debt of 180 million won. Despite the challenges, Jiyeonsu found the strength to change her life for the sake of her child.

One day, Jiyeonsu’s child asked for chicken, but she didn’t have the 20,000 won to buy it. This moment sparked a change in Jiyeonsu, and she began working at any job she could find, from a factory job to a pet supplies company and a second job to earn money.
After paying off her debt, Jiyeonsu is now delivering flowers in Jeju Island. Her inspiring story has touched the hearts of many, with netizens responding with comments such as, “It’s nice to see you working hard,” ”Moms are great,” and “I hope Jiyeonsu is happy.”
