Broadcaster Hong Jin-kyung mentioned the loneliness she feels after her divorce.

On the 16th, a video titled “Hong Jin-kyung returns as a glamorous single after a 4-month disappearance (24-hour close coverage)” was posted on the ‘Study King Genius’ channel.

Hong Jin-kyung uploaded a YouTube video after about 4 months due to political controversy and her divorce announcement. She said, “After the ‘red dress’ incident, I announced my divorce and there were so many articles. I was almost overseas.”

Hong Jin-kyung headed to the ‘Study King Genius’ production team's office. She told the PD, “I have nowhere to go. It’s so lonely that I get angry when I see Jang Young-ran’s Instagram. They seem to be having fun every day. Kim Na-young and Lee Ji-hye also look so happy,” she joked.

Later, while driving, Hong Jin-kyung revealed, “I’m actually really good at being alone. I enjoy traveling alone to the point that I prefer spending time by myself, but recently it’s been a bit difficult to be alone.”

She added, “On days when I have no work, it’s hard to figure out how to fill that empty time. After being with the staff all day, I feel gloomy when I’m alone in the car. But since this is Hong Jin-kyung’s 24-hour vlog, I wanted to show you this side of me as well,” she honestly shared.

Hong Jin-kyung married a businessman 5 years her senior in 2003 and has a daughter named Rael. She divorced after 22 years of marriage in August.
