On the 8th, Shu made a memory that will not be forgotten for the rest of his life. When I was having a hard time, I once took off my clothes in Dongdaemun with the help of an acquaintance and sold them as retail. As you know, in Dongdaemun, you have to go around from night to morning to receive clothes, but as a mother, I noticed pretty baby clothes, accessories, hairpins, and shoes. I thought about it every time I did that. 'You'll love it if you come with the kids. I want to bring the twins with me. And that wish came true this holiday!!!", he recalled the pain of the past, which had been difficult due to various controversies.
Then "I took the kids to the wholesale market to look around and bought key rings, hairpins, socks, and clothes together. (Meanwhile, the children grew up so much that they wore shoes and clothes together.) My old self also passed by like a beacon. We talked about the past by showing people working hard with big luggage until late at night. 'At one point, my mom used to go around for 10 hours with full clothes in her bag to sell until dawn!'Night market, it was so nice to show you the night world where I once worked"I was grateful for the present, which has changed from the past.
Also, after work, I ate fish cake that I used to eat alone with my children. (The taste of fish cake skewers does not change) It was Dongdaemun where I went to buy a gift because it was Children's Day, but it was the day I received it. It was very difficult in the past, but when the children came together after growing up and talked about the old days, it was Children's Day that I felt again that it would become a 'Memories'," he said, pleased with the children's new memories of Children's Day.
Meanwhile, Shu married basketball player Lim Hyo-sung in 2010 and has twin daughters and a son.
From August 2016 to May 2018, he was sentenced to six months in prison and two years of probation in 2019 for habitually gambling abroad.
Since then, he has spent time self-reflecting and participated in a campaign to eradicate gambling. Recently, the news of a successful comeback as a health food business drew attention.
