Producer Choi Byung-gil made an extreme move by releasing messages exchanged with the legal representative of his "ex-wife" Seo Yuri.
On the 28th, Producer Choi Byung-gil posted on his social media, "Above is the KakaoTalk with Ms. Seo Yuri's previous lawyer," and released the mobile messages exchanged with Seo Yuri's legal representative.
In the disclosed messages, Producer Choi Byung-gil said Seo Yuri continued to badmouth him, causing great disruption to his economic activities, and that he could not understand why she would do so when it brought no benefit to her. The lawyer replied, "You filed an appeal without consulting us and then barely picked up calls, so the trust relationship has collapsed. That's why we couldn't tell you about a new settlement agreement."
In particular, the legal representative said, "I don't know exactly, but it feels like the new boyfriend said the previous lawyer mishandled things and that's how the case got tangled. He asked what happened to the claim and then stopped answering calls altogether, it's been a while since we heard from him."
Producer Choi Byung-gil said, "I only knew of one law firm as Ms. Seo Yuri's legal representative, and I was communicating with them. I have never heard that I missed a promised meeting. On the contrary, it was the creditor who breached the agreement we made last year, and there is clearly a document stating that they must pay a penalty of 100 million won, but I have not been holding them accountable for that," adding, "Ms. Seo Yuri contacted me more persistently and aggressively than any private lender, and I felt almost stalked, so I asked that lawyer to get in touch. I don't know much about the law, but I understand even private lenders are legally prohibited from that kind of debt collection."
He continued, "If your legal representative has changed, please 'man up' and contact me directly. I have never blocked a lawyer's contact. However, please understand that actual voice calls are blocked, and calls and text messages cannot be received, and only KakaoTalk is available," and added, "Please stop making more noise. Nobody in the world likes this fight between us. It's only a minus for both of us. I will cooperate unconditionally, so please stop mentioning me and have your lawyer contact me."
Earlier, Seo Yuri pressured Producer Choi Byung-gil by releasing the divorce settlement. In particular, she pointed out contradictions in Producer Choi Byung-gil's claims through a reply that is believed to have been written by her boyfriend, who works in the legal field.
Producer Choi Byung-gil and Seo Yuri married in 2019 but divorced on June n.
