Hwang Jung Eum doesn't need to put on her own socks

On yesterday's airing of SBS's 'One Night of TV Entertainment,' singer and actress Hwang Jung Eum of 'High Kick Through the Roof' made a public appearance for the first time since catching the swine flu. During the show, Hwang Jung Eum bragged, "Because I make a lot of money, my mother is so happy... In the mornings, she even puts socks on my feet for me. This is the first time she has done this since I was a kid!" Now, growing up outside of Korea I can understand why this may be confusing for some of you. While small gestures like these may not mean much coming from most of our parents, back in Korea, it's a huge sign of respect. Later on, Hwang Jung Eum also commented about having the swine flu. She stated, "Because I got to rest, I enjoyed my time. I'm Just kidding. I'm so thankful for all the people who were concerned for me... I think people were more concerned for me this time because usually I'm a healthy person." And on being asked about her boyfriend Kim Young Jun, she commented, "He recently came back from Japan and I stayed with him all day in the hospital [because he has the swine flu] but thankfully he looked perfectly fine." Good to see Hwang Jung Eum being fully recovered from swine flu.
