Kang Min-ju's serious injection, I lost three older brothers too...The Family History of Shock (Morning Yard)



Singer Kang Min-joo (real name Kim Hwa-yeon, 60) made viewers cry by confessing her sad family history on the show.

Kang Min-joo, who appeared in the KBS 1TV 'Morning Madang's 'Challenge Dream Stage' section aired on the 18th, calmly confessed the time of pain she had lived before going on stage.

He was raised as the youngest child of six siblings, but his mother died of pleurisy in middle school, and "In fact, it was a disease that could be saved with money. It has become a lifetime's regret."




Then "My father relied on alcohol because his life was so difficult, and the injection was so bad that the house was like hell. I eventually had to quit school and come to Seoul at the age of 17 to live as a nanny at a school for the blind," he said.

However, despite such circumstances, he did not let go of his dream of becoming a singer. In 1987, he received attention by winning the grand prize at the KBS 60th Anniversary New Singer Contest, and after that, he endured unknown life for 15 years and kept the stage.

He went around ten stages at night. I bought my father's house with the money I earned, but he eventually lost everything and I came to serve him. He even bothered me until the day he died."




To make matters worse, three older brothers died early, and the year before last, they even underwent a major surgery to remove 80% of their colon. He "It was so hard that I wanted to give up my life. But at the end of that, I rather understood my father. I'm tearing up, and I've got a feeling of gratitude, he said, expressing a deep resonance.

Finally, he continued to sing, saying, `With this voice handed down by my parents, I will present a stage for them today.'
