Kim Soo-hyun's mother Baek Soo-ryeon reveals 10 billion won debt and son's 25-year credit struggle

Actress Baek Soo-ryeon expressed self-reproach, stating that she once engaged in excessive business ventures that failed, resulting in over 10 billion won in debt, which caused her son, actor Kim Soo-hyun, to suffer for a long time.

On the 22nd, during the MBN program 'Special World,' Baek Soo-ryeon confessed that a business she started to make a living after being ousted from the broadcasting industry failed miserably.

She shared that while she was expanding her business by opening a restaurant and venturing into the beauty industry, she fell victim to fraud and lost both her house and land. In the process, the accumulated debt reached 10 billion won.

Kim Soo-hyun had to bear the responsibility of that debt.

Baek Soo-ryeon expressed her apologies to Kim Soo-hyun, saying, "There was a lot of debt taken out in my son's name. Because of that, my son spent 25 years of his youth as a credit delinquent. If only he had met a better mother, he would have become an even greater actor. It breaks my heart because he seems to have become withdrawn and hollowed out because of me."

Kim Soo-hyun has been active in various works, moving between the theater and the screen, including 'Oldboy' and 'The Unjust.' Baek Soo-ryeon has since settled all her businesses and is currently operating a live cafe with a business partner.
