“Both Sides Sue Affair Partners”: The Outcome of the Synchronized Announcers’ Muddy Divorce Mediation
The divorce settlement is bogged down and is likely to be protracted.
The couple, Dong-Seok Choi (46) and Chi-Yoon Park (45), both former announcers at KBS, a public television station in Korea, are suing each other and their alleged lover. They married in November 2009 after an in-house romance, and have a son and a daughter.
The couple ended their 14-year marriage and filed for a divorce settlement with the Jeju District Court in October of last year. At first, it was thought that the mediation would go smoothly and they would have an ‘amicable parting'” (Korean newspaper reporter).
However, …….
But they never did.
The situation did not stop with the “relationship between the two. In June of this year, Park Chi-yun filed a lawsuit against her ex-husband’s alleged lover, a woman named A, claiming damages. Choi Dong-suk immediately responded. She wrote on her SNS
It is true that a woman I know (Mrs. A) was sued by Mr. Park Chi-yun, but I never committed any illegal acts during our marriage. We will respond forcefully to defamation based on factual inaccuracies. We will reveal the truth in court and make it clear and public.
In September, she filed a lawsuit against Mr. B, the man who allegedly cheated on her with Park Chi-yoon, demanding compensation for damages. She criticized Park Chi-yoon’s misconduct during their marriage, saying that it was the cause of the breakdown of their marriage.
Park Chi-yoon’s agency made the following comment in response to an interview with Mainichi Keizai Star Today and other Korean media. The agency made the following comments in response to an interview with Mainichi Keizai Star Today and other Korean media outlets.
It is difficult to confirm each of his personal issues. However, during our marriage, as well as during the divorce settlement, I never committed any wrongdoing or had any intimate relationship with anyone other than my spouse.
However, the “allegations of adultery” were not the only spark that ignited the fire.
A reporter for a South Korean newspaper continued, “The two are bitterly at odds over child custody rights.
The two are also bitterly at odds over the custody of their children. It has been about a year since they filed for divorce settlement with the court. The situation has not been settled, but rather has been escalating.
The predictions of an “amicable goodbye” have taken a turn for the worse.
