"Deep Emotional Rift with Grandmother"

Choi Jun-hee (20), the daughter of the late Choi Jin-sil who had reported her maternal grandmother for trespassing, expressed remorse, stating that she has submitted a letter of withdrawal of prosecution to the police.


On the 13th, Choi appeared on the YouTube channel 'Caracula Detective Agency' and said, "From childhood, emotional rifts began to deepen between (my grandmother and me), and we didn’t get along well. We even attended family counseling together," revealing this.

Choi said, "My older brother (Choi Hwan-hee) attended an international school, so I actually spent more time with my grandmother," adding, "On holidays or anniversaries when my brother couldn’t attend, I tried to fill in by her side and make an effort to keep the family bond strong."


Regarding the report of her grandmother for trespassing, she said, "Honestly, until the police came and handled the case, I had no idea things would escalate like this."


About the public reaction following the incident, she said, "I understand that the comments come from a desire for me to grow into a proper adult. I feel sorry." Responding to some accusations of being 'a disrespectful child,' she said, "Given my past actions, I can see why people might think that. I have no excuse."


When asked, "What do you think your parents would have said if they were alive?" she replied, "I would have been scolded a lot. I remember my mother’s personality. My father would have scolded me even more."


She continued, "I don’t emotionally hate or dislike my grandmother. I just wanted to be loved a little more by her when I was young," adding, "I think that feeling led me to make this choice. I’m sorry I couldn’t try to communicate with her more maturely and properly."


She also added, "If my grandmother’s heart softens, I want to visit her later and apologize formally."

Meanwhile, on the 9th, Choi reported her maternal grandmother, Jeong, to the Seocho Police Station in Seoul for trespassing. Jeong is accused of visiting the apartment jointly owned by Choi and her brother in Seocho-gu, Seoul, on the 7th and staying there for two days without consent.


Jeong, who was the guardian and caretaker of the two siblings, lived with them until last year but reportedly started living separately after Choi became an adult. Choi also lives independently in an officetel, while her brother Choi Hwan-hee is known to live alone in the apartment.


Choi also raised allegations of 'embezzlement' against Jeong. She claimed, "Since I was a minor, my grandmother used my share of the assets to pay for my brother’s tuition. My brother attended an international high school, and the tuition was close to 100 million won. Besides that, she took small amounts of money, transferred it to her own account, and then sent it back to my brother’s account."



In response, Jeong previously appealed, saying, "I gave up my life for 15 years and did everything asked of me while raising them, but it’s miserable," and "Whenever something happened, (Choi) threatened to sue me," which led to public criticism of Choi.
