Kang Eun-ji scolding Seong Gi-hun in "Hell"

Kang Eun-ji (강은지 Gang Eun-ji?) is Gi-hun's former wife and the mother of their child, Seong Ga-yeong.

Personality[]

Kang Eun-ji is someone who puts her family first and prioritizes them over everything. She wants Ga-yeong to have the best life, and still holds a grudge from years ago towards her ex-husband Seong Gi-hun for not showing up to her birth and supporting her as she crawled to the hospital due to Gi-hun choosing to stay with his dying co-worker during their strike. She has a generally negative view of Gi-hun and considers him to be a terrible parent. However, it is implied that she is on good terms with his mother, as his mother was nice to her. She is also extremely protective of her daughter, and won't let her eat certain foods as she considers them "junk food".
