Broadcaster and former announcer Choi Dong-seok and Park Ji-yoon, who had been embroiled in reciprocal adultery lawsuits, shared updates on their daily lives immediately after the verdict was handed down.
On the 27th, the Jeju District Court Family Division 2 delivered a judgment on Choi Dong-seok's claim for damages for emotional distress against Park Ji-yoon and Mr. A, and on the suit filed by Park Ji-yoon against Choi Dong-seok's acquaintance Mr. B seeking the same relief. However, the court did not disclose the specific details of the ruling.
The two proceeded with reciprocal adultery lawsuits separately from their divorce proceedings. Park Ji-yoon first filed a suit against an alleged other woman in July 2024, and later Choi Dong-seok also filed an adultery suit. The court consolidated the two cases for hearing and concluded arguments in November last year.
During the lawsuit, both sides have flatly denied the allegations. Choi Dong-seok's side said, "There was absolutely nothing illegal during the marriage," and added, "We will respond strongly to groundless defamation," while Park Ji-yoon's side also rebutted, "There was no extramarital affair with another person during the marriage period or during the course of the lawsuit."
With the legal battle settled for the time being, Park Ji-yoon posted an update on social media the afternoon of the verdict. She shared a note of encouragement and snacks she received on the plane and replied, "I will try harder. Thank you." She then posted a photo of her departure to Japan and added, "Still, seeing my older sisters made me smile," conveying a calm state of mind.
Choi Dong-seok also shared his daily life on social media. He wrote, "Practically one meal today. And a little rice left by IAAN (son)," emphasizing that it was a day spent with his child.
Meanwhile, the two married in 2009 and had one son and one daughter, but news of their breakup emerged in October 2023. Custody and parental rights currently belong to Park Ji-yoon, and Choi Dong-seok is reported to be meeting the children through visitation rights.
