[EPN NP Now reporter Go Nari] Kim Joo-ha, who first rose to prominence as an announcer, drew attention after revealing on air that she suffered financial losses and fell victim to fraud.
On a recent episode of \"Oh Eun-young's Bucket List,\" Kim and longtime friend Oh Eun-young engaged in a candid, wide-ranging conversation.
When Oh asked how she approached married life, Kim responded by speaking openly about personal hardships she had endured.
She said she initially assumed her difficulties were ordinary—things anyone might face.
But as the conversation deepened and she discussed the situation with people close to her, she realized it was far more serious than she had thought.
When Kim described herself as \"easily swayed,\" Oh pushed back, arguing that the label didn't fit her personality.
Kim said that for nine years she frequently heard people tell her, \"You're too harsh.\" Oh, however, suggested Kim is actually more sensitive and fragile than severe.
Oh noted that Kim has an unusually sympathetic streak and referenced a past car-related scam that targeted her.
Oh quipped, \"Even then, didn't you know it was a scam and just put up with it?\" Kim smiled but revealed she never recovered roughly 200 million KRW (about $134,000) of the money she had lent.
The studio reacted with a mix of surprise and laughter.
Kim acknowledged this tendency as both her greatest shortcoming and her vulnerability, and Oh expressed sympathy for her frankness.
