This statement comes in response to the growing speculation about the state of her relationship with Kang Kyung Joon, who faced public scrutiny after being accused of adultery last December. The scandal resulted in a lawsuit demanding 50 million KRW (approximately 37,500 USD) in damages, leaving many fans disillusioned, particularly given the couple’s previously portrayed happy family life on shows like SBS's Same Bed, Different Dreams 2 - You Are My Destiny and KBS 2TV’s The Return of Superman.
Kang Kyung Joon's legal case concluded with a first trial on July 24 at the Seoul Family Court, where he accepted the plaintiff’s claims. Despite the legal and personal challenges, Jang Shin Young’s message highlights her determination to navigate these difficulties while prioritizing the well-being of her family.
