Hong Seo-beom and the ex-daughter-in-law of Cho Gap-kyung again targeted former mother-in-law Cho Gap-kyung, who appeared on "Radio Star."
On the 2nd, the ex-daughter-in-law A posted on her personal account, "Smiling and chattering while acting like you don't know anything on the show. Are you happy because you can act like you don't know?"
She added, "I am also someone else's precious child, a precious daughter.. they themselves also have two daughters.. do they know what it felt like to be dying inside? Even now they are probably a family that does not recognize their wrongdoing at all? So I feel more frustrated and I feel like I can't breathe."
A said, "When I think it's forgotten it appears in my dreams and torments me, and it remained a very big wound and big trauma for me," and added, "The sin of them turning a blind eye even though they knew, the sin they committed against me, pretending not to know for three years and smiling on broadcasts as if nothing happened — make sure you pay for those sins," and said, "I feel like I'm suffocating day by day."
Earlier on the 1st, A left a post targeting former mother-in-law Cho Gap-kyung ahead of her "Radio Star" appearance, saying, "You were wrong. You ignored it. Is it over now if you just pay child support? My wound, my child's family. Reflect properly and apologize."
She went on, "Why didn't you say even a single word earlier? If you had, my anger might have eased a bit. You escalated the situation," and added, "I have to see her appearance on broadcasts again. The victim continues to live in such pain."
Meanwhile, the son of Hong Seo-beom and Cho Gap-kyung married A in 2024, but the marriage ended in divorce after eight months. A claimed the cause of the breakup was the son's affair.
In the divorce lawsuit trial, the first trial court found the son of Hong Seo-beom and Cho Gap-kyung responsible for the divorce and ordered him to pay 30 million won in damages and 800,000 won per month in child support until the child becomes an adult. The court also ordered him to pay A 20 million won in damages from the other woman.
However, A complained that she had not received the damages and child support until recently when the child was 18 months old, and Hong Seo-beom and Cho Gap-kyung bowed their heads in a statement saying, "We respected our adult son's privacy and autonomy and did not intervene in the divorce process. As a result, we were lacking in closely scrutinizing our child's faults as parents. We sincerely reflect on not being exemplary as public figures."
Hong Seo-beom and Cho Gap-kyung also said regarding their future response, "Although the appeal trial is ongoing, we will sternly guide through our son's legal representatives so that obligations under the first trial ruling, such as child support and damages, can be promptly fulfilled."
