Announcer-turned-broadcaster Choi Dong-seok (46) revealed his current status.
Choi Dong-seok posted several daily photos on his social media on the 4th. The photo also included a TV screen showing the Romance of the Three Kingdoms drama.
In relation to this, Choi Dong-seok said, “Why is the Three Kingdoms fun? He said meaningfully, “It’s not over until it’s over.”
Meanwhile, Choi Dong-seok and broadcaster Park Ji-yoon (45) broke up after 14 years of marriage.
The two joined KBS as the 30th announcer in 2004 and married in November 2009 after four years of dating.
They had one son and one daughter, but on October 30 last year, they submitted an application for divorce mediation to the Jeju District Court.
Park Ji-yoon has custody and parental rights, and Choi Dong-seok meets the children once every two weeks through interview and negotiation rights.
On September 30th, Choi Dong-seok filed a lawsuit claiming compensation for alimony against Park Ji-yoon and her incestuous man A. It was also belatedly known that Park Ji-yoon filed a lawsuit for damages against B, who had pointed out Choi Dong-seok as an adulteress, in June. Both parties are denying the rumors of an affair.
On the 17th of last month, Dispatch released a transcript of the couple’s fight, revealing the various conflicts that occurred during the divorce process between Park Ji-yoon and Choi Dong-seok. In the revealed content, Choi Dong-seok suspected Park Ji-yoon of having an affair several times. They suspected relationships between chefs, Ji-yoon Park’s 20-year friends, sexual minorities, and business associates. Choi Dong-seok claimed that Park Ji-yoon was mentally unfaithful, and Park Ji-yoon countered that Choi Dong-seok was delusional and suspicious.
One netizen requested an investigation from the Jeju Special Self-Governing Provincial Police Agency through Kookmin Newspaper regarding the claim of ‘marital sexual assault’ mentioned in the conversation. The complaint was assigned to the Women and Youth Department of the Jeju Special Self-Governing Provincial Police Agency. The police announced that they have begun an investigation into the alleged sexual assault of Choi Dong-seok and Park Ji-yoon, and are contacting Park Ji-yoon for cooperation.

Time.news Editor: Welcome to our interview segment! Today, we have a fascinating discussion ahead as we delve into the recent revelations surrounding broadcaster Choi Dong-seok and his tumultuous divorce from fellow broadcaster Park Ji-yoon. Joining us is Dr. Han Mi-sook, a family law expert and relationship counselor. Thank you for being here, Dr. Han.
Dr. Han Mi-sook: Thank you for having me! It’s a timely and important topic, especially considering the public interest in celebrity relationships.
Time.news Editor: Absolutely! So, Choi Dong-seok and Park Ji-yoon were married for 14 years before filing for divorce. From a psychological perspective, what does this duration suggest about their relationship dynamics?
Dr. Han Mi-sook: A marriage lasting over a decade indicates a significant investment in each other. However, it also suggests a complexity in their relationship. Often, long-term relationships face various challenges, including changes in personal and professional priorities, which can lead to misunderstandings and conflict, as we’ve seen in their case.
Time.news Editor: It’s interesting to note that Choi Dong-seok mentioned on social media that “It’s not over until it’s over,” in relation to the drama Romance of the Three Kingdoms. How do you interpret this statement in the context of his current situation?
Dr. Han Mi-sook: It seems to reflect a sense of resilience or perhaps a desire for closure. The phrase suggests that he still hopes for resolution, maybe even reconciliation. It’s common for individuals facing divorce to cling to the hope of repairing the relationship, even amidst ongoing conflicts.
Time.news Editor: Speaking of conflicts, the couple’s public fallout includes allegations of infidelity and emotional distress, with both parties contesting each other’s claims. What impact do you think public airing of personal grievances has on their situation, especially with the involvement of media?
Dr. Han Mi-sook: Public disputes can significantly compound the stress of divorce. It often exacerbates feelings of betrayal or humiliation, leading to a breakdown in communication. Additionally, public scrutiny can pressure individuals to portray themselves in a particular light, making genuine healing even harder. Both parties might feel the need to respond defensively rather than working towards amicable solutions.
Time.news Editor: Along with personal conflicts, reports have emerged involving allegations of sexual assault—which has prompted an investigation by the Jeju Special Self-Governing Provincial Police Agency. How does the legal aspect complicate the emotional dynamics at play?
Dr. Han Mi-sook: The ongoing investigation can introduce an entirely different layer of complexity. Legal issues often heighten emotions and create a sense of urgency in how each party views the situation. It can lead to feelings of victimization, mistrust, and animosity, which may make it difficult for the couple to find common ground, especially when children are involved.
Time.news Editor: Yes, they have two children, and it’s reported that Choi meets them every two weeks. How crucial do you think maintaining a relationship with both parents is for their well-being during such a tumultuous time?
Dr. Han Mi-sook: Maintaining strong parental relationships is crucial for children’s emotional and psychological well-being. Consistency and reassurance from both parents can provide stability amid chaos. It’s essential for children to see their parents working together—despite their differences—to support them. The narrative around their relationship can significantly affect how children perceive their parents and adapt to the changes.
Time.news Editor: This highlights the importance of communication and cooperation, even in difficult relationships. Looking ahead, what advice might you offer to individuals in similar situations who are navigating their own challenges?
Dr. Han Mi-sook: It’s vital for individuals going through such turmoil to prioritize open communication and seek professional support if needed. Mediation can be an effective way to resolve disputes amicably. Above all, focusing on the well-being of any children involved should be the primary concern. Building a cooperative framework, even post-divorce, can lay the groundwork for healthier family dynamics.
Time.news Editor: Thank you, Dr. Han, for your insights today. This is a complex issue touching on many facets of human relationships, and your expertise sheds light on the personal implications amidst the public spectacle.
Dr. Han Mi-sook: Thank you for having me! It’s been a pleasure discussing such an important topic.
