Seo Jung Hee: Married because her husband forced her to marry, lived miserable for 32 years, just got divorced and got cancer

Seo Jung Hee was an expensive actress and model in the 90s in Korea. She was favored by many producers and "big men" thanks to her beautiful appearance and artistic qualities. However, in love, she suffered many misfortunes.

Youth suffers because of an abusive husband

Seo Jung Hee is considered by Korean media to be the first generation "beauty goddess" of Korean showbiz.

When her career was on the rise, in 1982, at the age of 19, Seo Jung Hee chose to get married. She decided to spend her life with comedian Seo Se Won, who is 6 years older than her. At that time, no one knew that this was a forced marriage with Seo Jung Hee.

Seo Jung Hee later recounted that her husband had robbed her of her daughter's life and was forced to get married. Seo Jung Hee and her ex-husband's 32-year marriage was not happy at all, in stark contrast to the couple's radiant image in front of reporters' cameras.

The truth is that during the years she was Seo Se Won's wife, Seo Jung Hee was physically influenced by her husband and treated like a slave. She was only free and escaped this horrible life when she sued her husband in court.

In 2014, surveillance camera images at the apartment recording the moment she was beaten by her husband were released, terrifying the public.

In 2015, the trial of actor Seo Se Won took place and attracted the attention of Korean media. The public was very angry when Seo Se Won was only sentenced to 6 months in prison and 2 years of probation.

"For 32 years I lived like a prisoner," Seo Jung Hee said in court.

Explaining the reason for agreeing to marry Seo Se Won, Seo Jung Hee said that she felt ashamed that Seo Se Won stole her daughter's life, so she agreed to get married. Also out of shame, Seo Jung Hee did not dare to speak up or resist Seo Se Won's coercion during their 32 years together.

Seo Jung Hee once hinted that her husband suffered from paranoid jealousy syndrome, always suspecting his wife of having an affair without any real evidence. Seo Jung Hee revealed, "He showed signs of extreme jealousy from the first time we met. But at that time I was still young so I didn't know. I didn't understand why he lived like that."

Seo Jung Hee recalls that after every time he attacked his wife, Seo Se Won gave her a gift to make up or show his remorse. "My life was like a prison. If I wasn't happy, he would force me to take sedatives. I took everything my husband gave me," Seo Jung Hee said.

Seo Se Won also holds all of his wife's income to make sure she doesn't leave him. After getting married, Seo Jung Hee stopped working in the entertainment industry and became an interior designer. One reason Seo Jung Hee agreed to be with this person for 32 years was because she wanted to protect her daughter.

However, when she witnessed Seo Se Won speaking harshly to her daughter, she decided to divorce. Seo Jung Hee's daughter also admitted that her childhood was haunted by living with her evil father and witnessing the terrible actions that her father did to her mother every day.
