Lee Sol-yi reflects on life and loss after denying divorce rumors

Lee Sol-yi, wife of comedian Park Sung-kwang, has shared a calm yet deeply resonant reflection on her recent emotional journey. Following her direct denial of recent divorce rumors, her sincere perspective on life is drawing significant attention.

On the 2nd, Lee posted a short video on her SNS, opening with, "Is it because my heart has grown old that I feel no emotion no matter what I do?" She continued, "When I was young, everything was new, and that excitement was happiness itself. But now, I feel as though the only events left in life are parting and loss," adding, "I wonder if another chapter of life will arrive after I pass through this period."

Her words calmly captured the emptiness and anxiety that many face when navigating life's challenges. "When I look at the morning sunlight, it's not a specific sadness, but I feel as if a salty drop of a tear is mixed into a corner of my heart," she confessed, adding, "Being so calm is sometimes even more frightening."

She further reflected on life after recounting two harrowing near-misses she experienced that day. "I saw a vehicle driving in the wrong direction and came face-to-face with a bicycle that suddenly popped out. It almost resulted in a major accident," she wrote. "Major events in life arrive without warning, like traffic accidents. If you dodge them well, they pass, but if you fail to dodge them, they become accidents."

She then shared the core sentiment of her post:

"It's true. It is not my fault. There are accidents that are not my fault."

Admitting that she had constantly blamed herself for various life events, she confessed, "Looking back, I was constantly searching for my own faults. I think I have been enlarging my wounds by taking responsibility even for things that happened by chance." She added, "From now on, I have decided not to let my heart be cut too deeply by things that are not my fault."

The post garnered heightened interest as it follows recent divorce rumors involving Park. When Lee previously posted about "trying to persuade someone with different values all night," rumors of marital discord spread online, but she quickly dismissed them, stating, "It is not true."

Lee married Park in 2020 and gained popularity by sharing their newlywed life on the SBS variety show "Same Bed, Different Dreams 2: You Are My Destiny."

Her battle with cancer, which she revealed last year, also drew widespread support. She shared that she was diagnosed with female cancer while preparing to have a child, undergoing surgery and cytotoxic chemotherapy. She moved many by expressing her guilt toward her family, noting that the illness had made childbirth difficult.

This latest post reads as a profound realization born from those hardships. While she once sought the cause of all misfortune within herself, she is now gradually forgiving herself by accepting that "there are also wounds that are not my fault."

There were no grand resolutions or flashy comforts. Instead, the simple sentence, "Not all accidents in life are my responsibility," serves as a quiet consolation for someone who has spent a long time being too hard on herself.
