Yu Hyun-chul and Kim Seul-ki, a married couple, revealed the realistic concerns of their remarried family. They even confessed moments when they divided the family into "A team" and "B team," which evoked sympathy.
On the 19th, the tvN STORY show "Lee Ho-seon counseling center" aired, featuring remarried couple of three years Yu Hyun-chul and Kim Seul-ki, who appeared and revealed the realities of living as a blended family.
Earlier, the two developed a relationship after appearing on "I'm SOLO" and "Love after Divorce" and ended up getting married. They are a remarried couple each raising one child: Yu Hyun-chul raises a 12-year-old daughter, and Kim Seul-ki raises an 11-year-old son, making them a family of four. Regarding the reason they decided to remarry, Yu Hyun-chul said, "Building a happy family was my biggest goal," and added, "From the beginning, I started dating with remarriage in mind."
But there were realistic problems that love alone couldn't solve. Kim Seul-ki cautiously brought up, "My daughter goes to see her biological mother every other week, but my son does not have visitation," and continued, "I wanted my husband to spend time with the son who is left alone," saying, "I was upset that my son often spent time alone, so I talked about it."
But Yu Hyun-chul's thinking was different. Kim Seul-ki confessed, "When I asked my husband to spend time with the son, he said, 'Spending time alone together would make the daughter feel too sorry,'" and added, "The daughter is having a good time with her mother, so I honestly felt hurt wondering why he would think that way."
In response, Yu Hyun-chul also opened up about his feelings. He said, "When I work outside and come home late, I feel like my daughter must have been alone," and added, "My son once said the word 'mom' was sad." He continued, "I left things to my wife, but when I actually go home I tend to take care of my daughter first," and frankly said, "For example, I want to divide fruit equally, but when I see the daughter eat two and the son eat eight, I get unnecessarily sensitive about why I'm giving it that way."
What was most shocking was the experience of dividing the family into team A and team B. When asked directly whether he had used that expression, Yu Hyun-chul admitted, "Yes." He went on, "We filmed 'The Joseon romantic' together as a family for several months. Comments were posted after each episode, and there were many critical comments about me and my daughter and many positive comments about my wife and son," he said. He added, "At one point it completely split, with 'you get good comments and we get bad comments,'" revealing the painful experience.
Although they remarried out of love, blended families with children involved were entangled with much more complicated emotions than expected. The two also showed that they are still learning about each other in the process of becoming a family.
