Kim Byung-man reveals first outing with son Ttok-i…"From now on I won't hide and will be together"
On Joseon's Lover, master lover Kim Byung-man warmed hearts by revealing a solo outing with his son. He received many congratulations after revealing his wedding date.
On the 15th episode of TV Chosun variety show Joseon's Lover, Kim Byung-man unexpectedly revealed his wedding date.
That day the scene of Kim Byung-man heading out for the first time with his son Ttok-i aired. Because he had been refraining from going out, the panelists were surprised, saying, "You've never gone out alone with your son even once?"
With an excited expression Kim Byung-man said, "I wanted to have more of these times, but the kids always played only with my wife. Today is the first time they're going with me," showing his joy. He added, "I didn't have many memories with my dad when I was young either. Now I want to travel a lot with my family."
He also confessed he had been cautious because of others' attention. "I was careful about going out because of people's stares. But now I've made up my mind, so I decided not to hide anymore," he said, showing how much he values time with his son. When his son Ttok-i asked, "Do you like it?" Kim Byung-man replied, "I do," with a proud smile.
When people passing by during the outing recognized Kim Byung-man and showed interest in his son, he naturally responded, "Yes." The panelists were moved, saying, "Now he's proudly revealing his son." The production team also said, "When he naturally introduced him as 'my son,' he really looked happy." Kim Byung-man added, "He's my son, he's my blood. Now that I've made up my mind, I'll open up and communicate."
Also, Kim Byung-man announced a new beginning by revealing his wedding date for the first time on the broadcast, saying, "The wedding will be held on Sep. 20." After the broadcast, netizens sent responses such as "We support the start of Kim Byung-man as a family man, not just chief Kim Byung-man," showing support for his new path.
Meanwhile, Kim Byung-man registered his marriage with his ex-wife, a person surnamed A, in 2010, but they began living separately in 2012, and divorce proceedings started in 2019, culminating in a breakup in 2023. During the divorce, the ex-wife's side alleged habitual domestic violence by Kim Byung-man and filed a criminal complaint, but the police sent the case with a non-prosecution opinion and the prosecution also dismissed it as no charges were warranted. In 2010 Kim Byung-man registered his marriage with a person surnamed A, who was seven years his senior, and adopted as his own the daughter B of the person surnamed A, who was 9 at the time. The Seoul Family Court ruled in favor of Kim Byung-man's third petition to terminate parental rights regarding the ex-wife's daughter B. After settling his family with his ex-wife, Kim Byung-man currently has two biological children with his wife.
