Actor Choi Yeo-jin (41) has clarified the extramarital affair rumors that arose ahead of her marriage.
On the broadcast of SBS TV's 'Same Bed, Different Dreams 2 - You Are My Destiny' aired on the 31st of last month, Choi Yeo-jin was shown video calling the ex-wife of her fiancé Kim Jae-wook (48) and checking on her well-being. Kim Jae-wook is a sports businessman, and it is reported that Choi Yeo-jin has been fostering a friendship with him and his ex-wife for several years.
During the broadcast, Person A comforted Choi Yeo-jin while mentioning the affair rumors. Person A said to Choi Yeo-jin, "There are strange things floating around on YouTube (about the affair), so I reported the account," adding, "You met after divorcing me, but there are many rumors." They continued, "You two match so well," and said, "Let me know when the wedding date is set." They then asked, "Should I catch the bouquet?" adding, "We are Hollywood style." Choi Yeo-jin shed tears at Person A's support.
Earlier, after news that Choi Yeo-jin was marrying Kim Jae-wook spread, rumors of an affair between them circulated. In a video broadcast in 2020, suspicions arose as Choi Yeo-jin was highlighted helping out while living at Kim Jae-wook's couple's home.
Regarding these rumors, Kim Jae-wook explained during the broadcast that he married his ex-wife in 2016, but "six months later, we realized we were on different paths. We have been living separately since 2017." He added, "(Since we were working together) I used the business site at one end, and my ex-wife used the business site at the opposite end while living separately. After the divorce, I didn't tell those around me about the fact that we divorced. Neither of us was the type to talk about it openly."
