Broadcaster Park Ji-yoon and Choi Dong-seok are engaged in a mutual lawsuit regarding an affair, and the previously postponed third hearing is set to take place.

The Family Court of Jeju District Court will hold the third hearing of the damages lawsuit for emotional distress against individual A, which was originally scheduled for Jan. 7, today (25th). There is growing interest in whether this meeting between the two will occur at this time due to Park Ji-yoon's request.

Earlier, Park Ji-yoon filed a lawsuit for damages against the acquaintance of Choi Dong-seok due to emotional distress. The first hearing was held on Aug. 27. Simultaneously, Choi Dong-seok also filed a lawsuit for damages against Park Ji-yoon's acquaintance B on the 30th of last month. Both sides are denying the allegations, stating that they are 'baseless.'

According to recent messages and transcripts disclosed by Dispatch, it has been revealed that the two have been involved in ongoing disputes regarding 'relationship issues.'

Park Ji-yoon noted that Choi Dong-seok has suspected her of infidelity without basis, which has disrupted her business for a living. According to reports, Choi Dong-seok stated that Park Ji-yoon was in contact with employees from a host bar; however, this was reported to be a misunderstanding on his part. Meanwhile, Choi Dong-seok is claiming that Park Ji-yoon has left room for other men and has engaged in emotional infidelity.

Due to the controversy, Choi Dong-seok has decided to voluntarily step down from the TV Chosun program 'Now Alone,' in which he is currently appearing. Choi Dong-seok's side stated, 'Choi Dong-seok expressed his intention to leave the production team, and the team agreed to accommodate this,' adding that previously filmed content has been discarded.

The second hearing was previously scheduled for October of last year but was postponed to November. The third hearing was originally set to be held at the Jeju District Court on the 7th, but it was also postponed and is being held today (25th).

Choi Dong-seok and Park Ji-yoon married in 2009 and have one son and one daughter together but announced their separation last year. The couple has submitted a divorce mediation application to the Jeju District Court on Oct. 30 last year and are in the process of divorce.
