After leaving his group of 7 years and making a solo comeback, Park Jiheon has confessed that his life hasn't been going all that well for him and that he's been having to suffer some hardships. On a recent recording of KBS JOY's celebrity information program, Celebrity Magazine Entertain Us, Park Jiheon confessed, "I invested all of the money I made with VOS into a live cafe and lost it all. After that, life became so hard for me." Further details of the past year of his life were revealed in an exclusive interview with Everyday Economy. "There was nothing I could do alone. I was bringing in no income so I had to sell everything that I had. We were eventually kicked out of our home in July because I was behind on rent. Through the help of a friend, I was able to move back to my hometown into a small rental with my family. When my family realized that we'd be having to make the move, the six of us held each other and cried." His problems didn't end there, though. He was able to grab hold of a one-room living arrangement but didn't have enough money to buy milk for his new born son. His 5 year old first born had to eventually quit pre-school in order to cut back on costs, leading Park Jiheon to sign on private loans. "Our family lived off of one credit card and it soon became impossible to cover anything. For two months, we lived off of loans. Debt collectors still threaten to visit me, I wanted to crawl in a hole and hide." As his last attempt at finding a solution, he chose to sell the car he bought when VOS was at the height of its fame. "Everyone around me told me not to sell it because it was the only form of memory left for me of my life as a celebrity. Still, it couldn't be helped. Having lost even that, my family fell into deeper depression. My parents moved back to our hometown but never stepped out of the house.� I spent my nights full of sadness, wondering how celebrity Park Jiheon could drop so low." However, besides him were 100 fans that loyally stood by his side since his debut. Despite his disappearance from TV programs and despite having lost all of the glamor of his fame, his fans have been his biggest supporters. "I'm a very lucky person. I've lost everything in this past year but I've earned the warm hearts of many. I might not have paper money in my hands but I've received an incredible sense of wealth. I don't think of myself as poor at all. One fan came to me with tears in her eyes and handed me a present box, asking me not to misunderstand. My breath stopped as soon as I opened it, it was money. Anyone that doesn't understand my situation might be envious but it truly made me upset. Eventually, I used that money to live on for another month. That person helped me stand back up and give music a try again." Park Jiheon concluded his segment on the show by stating, "I want to become a confident singer that isn't embarrassing to my sons. It's true that I'm going through a tougher time compared to the days of my prime, but when a person drops so far down, even the littlest of things become a sense of hope." The recording is set to broadcast on the 3rd at 10:50 PM. S: Sports Chosun, Everyday Economy
