Kim Byung-man, who finalized his family registry after 12 years, is reportedly discussing participation in 'Grants of Joseon' ahead of his remarriage in September.
The broadcaster Kim Byung-man has settled his legal relationship with his ex-wife after 12 years, and he is reportedly discussing participation in the TV Chosun entertainment show 'Grants of Joseon' as he approaches his remarriage in September.
On the 7th, reports emerged that Kim Byung-man will appear on 'Grants of Joseon' with his younger fiancée, drawing attention to his private life as well. Kim Byung-man's side stated that they are "in discussions about participation."
However, on the same day, it was revealed that the daughter B of his ex-wife A filed a paternity lawsuit, claiming that "the children between Kim Byung-man and his fiancée are likely to be illegitimate." In response, Kim Byung-man's agency, Sky Turtle, firmly denied the allegations. The representative emphasized, "Mr. Kim Byung-man met his current fiancée after his marriage to his ex-wife fell apart and has two children with her. Legally, they are not illegitimate, nor were they born from an inappropriate relationship."
Earlier, Kim Byung-man registered his marriage with non-celebrity A, who is seven years older than him, in 2010, and adopted B, a daughter born to A from a previous marriage. However, their actual married life lasted only about two years, as they began living apart in 2012, culminating in divorce in 2020. The fact of the divorce was made public about three years later.
During that time, Kim Byung-man filed three lawsuits to revoke the adoption of B, and on the 8th, after the third attempt at the Seoul Family Court, the revocation was accepted. The agency stated, "The revocation was accepted due to the abusive acts stemming from B's false accusations." With this ruling, Kim Byung-man has finalized all legal relationships with his ex-wife A and B. Particularly, it was revealed that A had taken out multiple life insurance policies in Kim Byung-man's name, indicating that their relationship had been quite complicated.
Now, Kim Byung-man is preparing to marry his younger fiancée on September 20. He is ready to start a new family after meeting her following the collapse of his previous marriage. There are expectations that he may reveal this new beginning to the public through 'Grants of Joseon'. In response, internet users have shown support for Kim Byung-man's new start, saying, "I hope you live peacefully now," "I wish you happiness after a long legal battle," and "I support your new family with the children."
Kim Byung-man is about to embark on a new journey after finalizing the relationship with his ex-wife that lasted for 12 years. There is interest in whether his candid story can be conveyed through 'Grants of Joseon.'
