T-ARA Jiyeon Confesses Concerns About 'Career Break' After Getting Married
In a vlog, Jiyeon expressed her concerns about decreasing work offers after she got married.
On August 3, she uploaded a new vlog on her personal YouTube channel. Here, she talked about her concerns these days, and updated on her recent status.
Actress Park Ha Sun once talked about the sad reality in terms of perception of the South Korea's working force of married women and said:
"What's more upsetting is that even if the people at the broadcasting station are older people, there are those who only want to work with unmarried people. That's why I was pushed out of the casting list for a while."
Actress Lee Na Young also said:
"I can't talk about all of the career breaks, but it's difficult and the conditions are not good for women to go back to work these days, especially for reasons such as marriage or childcare. I have a lot of worries about whether to stay at home while giving my child love, or to work while reducing career breaks."
T-ARA Jiyeon married professional baseball player Hwang Jae Kyun in December last year. She has been taking a break since he appeared in the movie "Gangnam Zombie" in January.
