Former announcer Park Shin-young resumes social media activity, says she "will not collapse easily"
Former announcer Park Shin-young has returned to social media, stating she has become strong enough to speak for herself after a hiatus following a fatal traffic accident in 2021.
Former announcer Park Shin-young posted on her social media on the 10th, stating, "I have become strong and brave enough to now be able to speak up for myself." She added, "I am doing my best to live a hard-working life in a way that I am not ashamed of myself," and urged those supporting her not to worry, saying, "Because I feel it would be unfair to have endured such hard times, I will not collapse easily."
It has been revealed that Park Shin-young has recently been presenting English live broadcasts and video content on TikTok under the name 'Anna.' As of the morning of the 10th, the account has approximately 79,000 followers.
In May 2021, Park Shin-young was involved in a collision between her SUV and a motorcycle in Sangam-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul, which resulted in the death of a delivery worker in his 50s. Investigations at the time confirmed that her vehicle was traveling at 102 km/h on a road with a speed limit of 40 km/h, and it was also investigated that the motorcyclist entered the intersection on a red light. Park was taken to trial on charges of violating the Act on Special Cases Concerning the Settlement of Traffic Accidents (causing death) and was sentenced to a fine of 15 million won in December of the same year, after which she suspended her broadcasting activities.
During her hiatus, Park Shin-young has been operating a bag brand alongside former announcer Hong Min-jung. When the brand was introduced in 2024, she explained that since 2021, she had focused primarily on activities such as LEGO, painting, and knitting at home, and that the brand began with making bags through knitting.
