Actress Kim Hye-ja, who grew up in a mansion with a land area of 900 pyeong as a child, is attracting the attention of many people as the story of giving away all of her assets to a friend became known belatedly. Why on earth did Kim Hye-ja, who seems to have lived a glamorous life, make this decision?
Kim Hye-ja recently appeared on a broadcast and confessed about her childhood. Kim Hye-ja said that she grew up wealthy enough to be called a ‘golden spoon’ thanks to her father, who was Korea’s second economics doctor, and served as the Minister of Finance. All the cast members were surprised to hear, “The house was so big that people thought it was a park and came into it.”
Living in a house with a land area of 900 pyeong and a living room of 200 pyeong, it seemed clear that she had grown up lacking anything. However, despite this background, Hyeja Kim values the value of a simple life and has shown that she is willing to give everything for the people she cares about.

The main character to whom Kim Hye-ja gave all her assets was none other than Kim Soo-mi. Kim Soo-mi, who was in financial difficulty due to her husband’s business failure in the past, was having a difficult time borrowing several million won from close acquaintances.
However, Kim Hye-ja found out about this fact later and began to worry about her friend. And finally, he approached Kim Soo-mi, saying, “Why are you going through such trouble without even telling me?”
Kim Hye-ja immediately presented her bank account to Kim Soo-mi. “This is all my property. Instead of borrowing obscenely little by little, take as much as you need. “I don’t need money,” he added.

When Kim Soo-mi was embarrassed and tried to refuse, Kim Hye-ja said, “I was originally going to go to Africa next month to do volunteer work, but Africa is right here. Solve it with this money. You don’t have to pay it back. “When your situation improves and you have overflow, give it to me then,” he said. Kim Soo-mi was greatly touched by these words, and their friendship deepened even further.
Kim Soo-mi is said to have been moved to tears by Kim Hye-ja’s sincere consideration and warm words. Thanks to Kim Hye-ja, who provided a way to resolve her debt, Kim Soo-mi was able to overcome difficult times.
Kim Soo-mi, who cleared off her debt with Kim Hye-ja’s help, eventually repaid the money when her situation improved, but she said that she would never forget the emotion and gratitude she felt at that time.
Kim Soo-mi is said to have left a joking promise to Kim Hye-ja with a smile, saying, “If my sister is taken prisoner in Africa, I will definitely offer a prisoner exchange to save her.”

Despite the title of ‘coming from a wealthy family’, Kim Hye-ja did not lose her simple attitude, prioritizing people over material things.
She also confessed in another broadcast, “I’ve rarely been in the kitchen, so I’m most afraid of playing the role of a poor housewife.” The anecdote that she went to learn directly from her best friend Go Doo-shim for that role also shows Kim Hye-ja’s pure side.
In her essay ‘Thank You for Life’, Kim Hye-ja revealed her relationship with her father, who gave great support to her choice, and explained why she pursued a simple life despite her glamorous background. This story of Kim Hye-ja’s true friendship and deep consideration gives us a glimpse into her sincerity, not just her flashy exterior.
