'X's private life' reported that Choi Gogi said he has been dating his girlfriend for five years with the intention of marriage but has not yet met her parents.
On the 14th episode of the TV CHOSUN variety show 'X's private life,' divorced for seven years Yu Kkaetip and Choi Gogi appeared.
They first met in 2015 and tied the knot in 2016, but divorced in 2020. We looked into Choi Gogi's daily life. He lives as a single dad. Choi Gogi said he taught his child to wash first because he could not always bathe the child himself. Naturally, his daughter prepared for a picnic as soon as she woke up. Then Choi Gogi showed a neat refrigerator and a house kept clean.
Then Choi Gogi went to meet his daughter. Back home, they prepared a meal together. When a producer who has been helping with their parenting channel for two years came to the house, the daughter greeted the producer warmly. At that moment the daughter suddenly called out "mom," surprising everyone. Choi Gogi introduced her as "the parenting channel producer and my girlfriend," and said they have been dating for five years by calendar years. He said they met two years after his divorce.
Choi Gogi's girlfriend said, "I empathize with (Choi Gogi)'s daughter and naturally take on a mother role," and "I may be lacking but I want to do my best to be a reliable mother." The daughter cuddled affectionately with the girlfriend and said, "When mom is in a bad mood..." Choi Gogi said, "Seeing Solip comfort her, I think she's much better at childcare than I am; I learn from my girlfriend. It now feels like Solip is a mother," expressing his gratitude.
Jang Yoon Jeong said, "This is awkward to say, but in terms of duration the periods are similar," and the panelists looked on saying, "They are family now."
After putting his daughter to bed, when asked about the daughter's sadness over not seeing her mother often, Choi Gogi said, "I also missed my mother when I was young," and showed a remorseful side, saying, "I feel apologetic and guilty about the divorce, like I'm repeating my life." Asked about the biweekly visitation days, Choi Gogi asked how his girlfriend felt, and the girlfriend said, "It's also good for us to get some fresh air; it's all good things."
But Choi Gogi was attentive to his girlfriend's feelings. His girlfriend said, "I want my older brother and the daughter to be happy; it would be good if the daughter and we are all happy," showing a mature side. Choi Gogi said, "Thank you for saying that." The panelists said, "They communicate well; they make a good match," and added, "They suit each other."
But they were cautious about how to get permission from her father. Her second eldest sister said their father currently does not know that his youngest daughter is seeing Choi Gogi. She has been too afraid of their father to say a word for five years. Choi Gogi said calmly, "I understand the father's situation." The girlfriend's second eldest sister said, "What if dad opposes it? I don't think he'll grant permission easily," expressing concern. Choi Gogi said, "Rather than worry, I will try to confront it," and the second eldest sister said, "You'll have to face it a lot; it won't work the first time." Choi Gogi said, "I will keep trying and work harder than others," and the second eldest sister said, "If you need anything, we'll help you by your side," to which Choi Gogi replied, "I'll ask for a lot of help."
