'Love Catcher' alumnus influencer Kim Ji-yeon said she is willing to appear again on a dating show.
On the 18th, Kim Ji-yeon spent time answering followers' questions on her social account.
Then a netizen said, "Ungni 'Soul-G' (Single's Inferno), go back on again," and Kim Ji-yeon first gained recognition after appearing on Mnet's 2018 dating program 'Love Catcher'.
When requests to reappear on dating shows came in, Kim Ji-yeon jokingly replied, "I never went on 'Soul-G', but if there's a divorced single edition, I'll try applying lolol," drawing attention.
Then in response to the encouragement "Do a group buy.. I'll buy everything," she said, "Many people say that and I'm so grateful. I would also do group buys for good brands, good products, and good prices if possible, but so far it's been brands that only appear in group buys (?) or parallel importers with risks contacting me. If they don't meet my standards, even if they offer a lot of money I have no intention of doing it," adding, "Instead, I'll try projects that guarantee quality like collaborations or direct production once in a while. It's good for both of us."
Meanwhile, another netizen confessed, "Can I raise a 14-month-old baby alone? I'm planning to divorce my husband but I'm so scared," and Kim Ji-yeon encouraged her, saying, "When a mother with a young child decides to divorce, I don't think 'because I'm having a hard time' is the only reason. You might be deciding because you can tolerate the abuse aimed at you but fear it will continue toward the child, or is continuing toward the child, right? Of course nothing will be all good, but just by removing what made me and the child the most at risk, you'll recover mentally a lot."
She added, "You've probably endured for a long time for the child, so don't forget that strong heart and slowly think about what decision is best for you and the child. It may be hard to decide, but once you do you'll wonder what you were so afraid of. It's not that a strong person becomes a mother; a mother becomes strong."
Meanwhile, Kim Ji-yeon became pregnant before marriage with Lotte Giants baseball player Jeong Cheol-won and gave birth to a son in 2024, and they held a belated wedding last December. But after a month of marriage, Kim Ji-yeon used her personal account to expose Jeong Cheol-won's affair and conflicts over living expenses and childrearing, drawing attention. The two eventually announced divorce litigation, and Jeong Cheol-won's side said, "As the child's father, he will act responsibly and try to obtain custody as much as possible; although the parents are filing for divorce litigation, we will do our best to prevent negative effects on the child."
But Kim Ji-yeon's legal representative said, "Ms. Kim Ji-yeon has endured ongoing suffering, including domestic violence, while raising a young child after marriage," and added, "Recently, multiple reports were received that suggest Jeong Cheol-won's affair may be suspected," asserting fault and saying they will prioritize protecting custody as they continue a sharp confrontation.
