Song Ji Hyo continued, “One day, she suddenly yelled at me, ‘Hey! Get up right now and leave the house!’”
The actress admitted that the moment deeply hurt her. “That was the first time I cried out of sheer resentment,” she said. “I broke down, asking, ‘Is it really that unbearable for you that I rest a little after working for months?’”
