It’s not every day that a celebrated actress reveals her most unfiltered side, but Jang Hye-jin, the unforgettable “Parasite” mom, just did exactly that and fans are fascinated. On MBC’s Point of Omniscient Interfere, Jang Hye-jin surprised viewers by sharing that she’s been living alone despite 24 years of marriage. With her husband, daughter, and son all away, she’s embraced solo living with humor, warmth, and an unexpectedly relatable charm.
Her home, as spotless and organized as one might imagine, reflects her quiet independence. Yet Jang’s alone time is far from dull, she dances to music between bites, sings ballads at the top of her lungs, and fills the silence with joy rather than loneliness. Her manager jokingly admits, “The thing I tell her most is, ‘Don’t do that!’ Even the agency president banned her from variety shows.” But fans watching can’t help but think her candid spontaneity is exactly what makes her so lovable.
Even in her daily routines, Jang Hye-jin’s practicality shines through. She swears by baking soda for almost everything—washing vegetables, cleaning the sink, brushing her teeth, and even washing her hair. It’s simple, efficient, and very her.
This glimpse into Jang Hye-jin’s everyday life reminds viewers why she’s more than just an actress she’s someone who finds joy in the ordinary, dances through solitude, and turns simplicity into strength.
