Fans Express Shock Over Ahn Jae Hyun’s Alcoholism and Financial Struggle Following Divorce with Goo Hye Sun

According to reports from Korean media, following their highly publicized divorce battle, Ahn Jae Hyun and Goo Hye Sun are now leading very different lives. While Goo Hye Sun has the financial means to take a break, attend school, purchase individual homes for her family members, and even build a spacious villa near the university, Ahn Jae Hyun is living very modestly on his own. His frugal lifestyle was recently showcased on the TV program “I Live Alone.”

Despite his successful career, Ahn Jae Hyun has faced numerous challenges in his personal life. Following his unexpected divorce, the actor shared that he struggled with alcoholism, anorexia, and psychological issues. In addition, he also mentioned that he typically only consumes one main meal a day, in addition to breakfast. As a result, his health has deteriorated over the past 4-5 years, leading him to rely on supplements.

Ahn Jae Hyun confessed that following the life-changing event, he began to heavily rely on alcohol and supplements. This led to him spending approximately 500,000 won each month on various vitamins and supplements. As a result, the audience became concerned upon seeing his exhausted appearance and sunken eyes on television.

Furthermore, the scandal with Goo Hye Sun in 2019 had a major impact on Ahn Jae Hyun’s career. As a result of this incident, the male star faced boycotts from audiences and was forced to withdraw from various film projects and reality TV shows. Additionally, numerous brands that previously sought the actor’s endorsement also terminated their contracts due to the damage to his public image.

Despite being unemployed for an extended period, Ahn Jae Hyun was faced with financial challenges and had to take out a loan from the bank to cover his living expenses. As per Ahn’s statement, his account no longer has any savings. As a result, he is forced to live frugally with his current income and avoids using a debit card. He resides in a modest 20-year-old apartment and drives a budget-friendly car.

“Ahn Jae Hyun revealed that his frugal lifestyle was a result of facing financial difficulties. He often brings empty bottles to the convenience store to exchange for shopping bags or 100 won. Additionally, he has discovered that spraying perfume on a cotton pad and leaving it in the cupboard can make the air in the house more comfortable. As a result, he has become accustomed to cooking at home and shopping for clothes at used stores over the years.”

Recently, Goo Hye Sun has faced intense criticism for her actions on a May 16 episode of a tvN TV show. In the episode, the actress shared that she had lost a significant amount of her wealth and was on the brink of homelessness in Seoul. As a result, she had to reside at her mother’s house and even spend nights in the library or school parking lot due to the long commute to school. Goo Hye Sun also mentioned that she often eats instant noodles or rice and uses a wet towel to wash her face, as she spends most of her days living out of her car.

After news of Goo Hye Sun’s supposed poverty circulated in the newspaper, the actress promptly clarified the situation. She explained that she currently does not have a place to live because she is in the process of building a new house near her school. Goo Hye Sun also revealed that she has purchased a house for each member of her family and is saving all her money for future graduate school expenses. She added that her new apartment under construction is not only spacious but also a work of art, further impressing her audience.

Born in 1987, Ahn Jae Hyun is a well-known actor and model from Korea who has gained popularity among Asian audiences for his roles in popular dramas such as My Love from the Star, You’re All Surrounded, and Cinderella with Four Knights.

In May 2016, Ahn Jae Hyun married his co-star Goo Hye Sun after only 2 months of publicly dating. In August 2019, Goo Hye Sun unexpectedly announced their divorce, causing surprise among the public. The famous actress accused Ahn Jae Hyun of being unfeeling, having an affair with his co-star, and colluding with their management company to oppress her. Ahn Jae Hyun responded by releasing evidence that disproved Goo Hye Sun’s claims and accused her of lying and slandering him. The two artists engaged in a lengthy back-and-forth argument, ultimately taking about a year to reach a divorce agreement.
