Kim Hee-ra's wife, who was shocked by her affair, is far from hearing..I became a monk for atonement



Actor Kim Hee-ra told the story of becoming a monk at the age of 78 to atone for his wife.

Kim Hee-ra appeared on MBN 'Special World', which aired on the 24th.

Senior actor Kim Hee-ra, who served as the original action star in dramas such as 'The Return of the Paldo Man'`Son of the General. After a long time, he was organizing his luggage at home to join the sangha. He wants to get out of his greed and focus on his performance. My wife is reducing her luggage and has also reduced her house. I have a plan to join the sangha, so the house is currently in disarray."




Han Ji-il, who visited Kim Hee-ra's house, said "People around me said Kim Hee-ra became a monk. I didn't know. What should I call you? Should I call you a monk?" I was surprised. Han Ji-il "I think I became a monk because I did many things wrong to your wife. You've done so much wrong to your wife," and Kim Hee-ra added "Yes. I want to teach the whole human race not to be like me", he admitted.

The next day, Kim Hee-ra and his wife headed to the temple together. His wife also follows Kim Hee-ra on the path of becoming a monk and entourage. The wife began her temple life by giving Kim Hee-ra, who was unable to move due to the aftereffects of cerebral infarction, her hands and feet.

Why did Kim Hee-ra suddenly walk the path of an entourage. As it turned out, the reason Kim Hee-ra became a monk was because his wife recommended that he atone for himself. My wife said, "On the one hand, I am happy, but on the other hand, I wonder if it is a good thing that I made this person become a monk," he said, bringing out his past pain. Kim Hee-ra committed extramarital affairs when her wife stayed in the U.S. because of her children's education.




My wife was on the phone with her husband every morning and evening (when she was in the United States). My husband couldn't tell me 'I love you' when someone was next to him. When I say 'I love you honey', if I say 'uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. It's not just one or two things I did wrong, it's too much. It was so hard that I couldn't hear it." Despite Kim Hee-ra's affair, his wife rushed from the United States to take care of Kim Hee-ra when she suffered a stroke due to business failure and frequent drinking. The wife says "The husband is a woman, alcohol, and cigarettes. He's a man who's done all the bad things. I think he wants to erase (the past) with an eraser."

Kim Hee-ra said "I don't know what to say. Because it's so huge. I'm sorry as a husband. I'll atone for all the ways I've been doing so far and all the sins I've been doing," he said, expressing his apologies to his wife.

Meanwhile, Kim Hee-ra also started her first volunteer work as a Buddhist monk after joining the sangha. Kim Hee-ra gave many people "56 years of acting and made a living with the love given by many people. I'm going to die after understanding the Buddha's words and doing only good things."
