"X's private life" features dog-fighting wife Gil Yeon-ju appearing and going on a blind date, while her ex-husband Jin Hyun-geun also cheered for her second act.
On Tuesday, March 31, on TV CHOSUN variety show 'X's private life,' Gil Yeon-ju's blind date was revealed.
Jin Hyun-geun and Gil Yeon-ju, who drew attention as the dog-fighting couple on "Divorce reconsideration camp," appeared, and Kim Gu Ra asked why Iyoo appeared on "X's private life" again. Jin Hyun-geun said, "I don't have custody, so after living separately I wondered how my son was living," and "I have visitation rights, but I thought it was an opportunity to see my child's daily life after the divorce," explaining his reason for appearing.
Afterward, a VCR looked into the daily life of ex-wife Gil Yeon-ju. Gil Yeon-ju said she lived tenaciously to repay her ex-husband's 50 million won debt during their marriage. She said she paid 1.5 million won every month throughout the six years of marriage. With the debt paid off, the marriage ended. Gil Yeon-ju said, "He probably wanted an ordinary family life. Even though we fought bitterly every day, I hoped it would get better."
Gil Yeon-ju recalled, "I decided to divorce several times and went to the court frequently," and "When I was getting court documents I thought he was single, but even if I concede a hundred times that he had been with someone once before, there was even a child," describing her shock at the time. Then Jang Yoon Jeong said, "Is this a true story?" in surprise, and Kim Gu Ra said, "He hid it until he decided to divorce; even if the debt is excusable, he should have told her about this," saying it completed the puzzle about why the in-laws opposed the marriage and why they couldn't receive support for the wedding.
Regarding this, about why he hid his past, Jin Hyun-geun said, "I couldn't say because she was pregnant," and "We missed the timing because we were drinking and fighting," to which Kim Gu Ra retorted, "Even so, do you fight every day? There's no excuse for this," and added, "Saying you couldn't tell because of fear is an answer; saying you had no time to talk is nonsense."
Thus, seven months after the "Divorce reconsideration camp" broadcast, the two chose divorce in March 2025. Gil Yeon-ju's blind date was shown in earnest. Then Jin Hyun-geun said, "Another poor victim has appeared; I wonder what kind of chameleon image she'll show," revealing he still harbored resentment and anger.
Ahead of the blind date, Gil Yeon-ju said, "I don't want to make the same mistake again because of the pain of the divorce," and headed to the blind date location. When the man arrived, Kim Yeon-ju was surprised and said, "He's handsome and warm, my mind went blank." The man said, "I've seen you a lot on social media; I came because I wanted to meet you," and asked, "Weren't you on as the dog-fighting couple?" which darkened Kim Yeon-ju's expression. When asked the meaning of dog-fighting couple, Gil Yeon-ju said, "So you've seen everything?" in embarrassment. The man said, "I saw a brief bit on social media," and Gil Yeon-ju embarrassedly said, "It's better if you hadn't seen it; I wish you hadn't."
A week later, their second meeting was shown. While looking at perfume, the man who had met her twice was told by Gil Yeon-ju, "I'll buy it for you; it's a gift." Gil Yeon-ju said, "It didn't feel like a waste of money; it was my first time feeling this emotion, so I was actually happy," and watching this, Jin Hyun-geun recalled, "When we dated I even broke open a savings account to buy things; she's someone who is expressive."
Then, when asked about remarriage and having a second child, Gil Yeon-ju was flustered. The man was single and had no children. Gil Yeon-ju said she was more cautious and that she "has no thoughts of remarriage with the child yet," mentioning that her family at home opposed remarriage, "because the child remembers his biological father," and added, "Still, I won't let myself be swayed; if there's a good man, I would consider meeting him."
At the end of the broadcast, Jin Hyun-geun said, "It's not from the perspective of an ex-husband, but personally it's very pleasing to see," and when asked to say a word to his ex-wife he said, 'I thought you looked great; I hope you meet someone and that it goes well, I really mean it,' and added, "When you lived with me you were angry all the time, but seeing your bright self makes me wonder if I ruined it. It was a time to look back on our past married life."
He added, "It was nice to see your formerly bright self again," and "There will be no more reasons to call your name; this is the first and last time I'll say your name: Yeon-ju, just as we chose divorce for each other's happiness, I hope we can be happy and enjoy life in our own ways. I will live that way too," wishing her happiness.
