5 Emotional Moments from Jeon So-min’s Breakup: How She Found Strength in Vulnerability

Jeon So-min bared her soul on SBS’s “But Really!” as she candidly shared the emotional turmoil she experienced following a breakup with a former flame.

During the episode that aired on the 9th, Jeon So-min opened up about her romantic history, captivating both the panel and viewers with her raw honesty.

Referencing her essay “It’s Okay to Call After Drinking,” Jeon recalled that her ex-boyfriend was a teetotaler. She mused that his unresponsiveness to her calls might have been attributed to his sobriety.

The actress revealed she was emotionally unprepared for the split. In her distress, she made a desperate plea to her ex to change his number, admitting she had directly requested this as she struggled to forget it.

In a particularly poignant revelation, Jeon confessed to a three-hour vigil outside her boyfriend’s residence on a frigid winter’s night. Undeterred by security, she stubbornly waited in the stairwell. When she finally texted him about the biting cold, he responded that he was at a funeral and wouldn’t be returning home.

The aftermath of the breakup left Jeon battling a severe cold. As she nursed her physical and emotional wounds over a bowl of ramen, she found herself pondering, “This can’t be the life my parents envisioned for me.” This moment of introspection led to a renewed commitment to self-care.
