Kwak Min-kyung, who appeared on ‘Transit Love’, recently looked back on her middle school years and opened up about the jealousy she faced.
On May 14, a video titled “Should I try the shopping mall again? (School days story)” was uploaded to her YouTube channel, ‘Minwawa’.
In the video, Kwak Min-kyung shared stories from her time as a student.
While showing her middle school graduation photo, she laughed, admitting, “I can’t even remember which class I was in now.”
She revealed that while 3rd grade was her happiest time, she unfortunately dealt with being ostracized during her 2nd year of middle school.
“I had the longest hair in school, and there were only two or three dance students in the entire school, so I stood out a lot,” she explained. “Because of that, some students were jealous, which made it hard to attend school in 2nd grade. Some even made comments about me having double eyelids.”
Although she noted it wasn’t severe bullying, she shared a heartbreaking detail: “There were times I couldn’t even go to the cafeteria because I didn’t want to go alone. Suddenly, I feel so sad,” she said, becoming teary-eyed.
However, Kwak Min-kyung was able to overcome those difficult times thanks to her homeroom teacher, to whom she expressed her deep gratitude.
“My teacher helped me so much after seeing how much I was struggling. She even called me and shared her own family stories to comfort me,” she recalled.
Reassuring her fans, she added, “Looking back now, it’s nothing,” and shared that she overcame the hardship and spent her 3rd year of middle school happily.
