Jang Shin-young Celebrates 40th Birthday with Heartwarming Family Moments

Actress Jang Shin-young recently marked her 40th birthday, sharing her first social media update in five months. On January 17, she posted a series of cheerful photos on her personal SNS, showcasing her radiant smile and holding a bouquet of flowers. Among the images was a touching handwritten note from her second son, expressing his love and birthday wishes for his mother, which added a warm touch to her celebration.

This post comes after a lengthy emotional message she shared in August, following the conclusion of a lawsuit involving her husband, Kang Kyung-jun. In December 2023, Kang was embroiled in a legal battle, accused of infidelity and facing a 50 million won damages claim. Although he denied the allegations, the case was settled without admission of guilt, as Kang opted to avoid a prolonged court fight due to the emotional toll it took on him.

Reports have indicated that Jang and Kang have decided against divorce, with Jang stating on her SNS that they have had many discussions and have reflected on their situation. She emphasized their commitment to maintaining their family for the sake of their children, saying, "I have no regrets about my choice. My second child is still very young, and being a parent provides strength. I asked my eldest child, who is in high school, to trust and wait for me, and they did."

In addition to her birthday post, Jang made a return to television in October 2023 on SBS's 'My Little Old Boy' (미운 우리 새끼), where she candidly shared her struggles and efforts to restore a normal life with her children amidst the challenges she faced in her marriage. Jang's focus remains on her family, as she navigates this difficult period with grace and resilience.
