My Little Old Boy actor Baek Il-seop confessed the resentment he had carried in his heart about married life for 40 years and the real reasons that ultimately left him no choice but to choose separation while remaining legally married.
On the 19th episode aired on SBS's My Little Old Boy (hereinafter My Little Old Boy), Kim Seung-soo, Lim Won-hee, Cho Jin-se, and Baek Il-seop gathered to have an honest conversation about marriage and single life.
Lim Won-hee asked the senior actor Baek Il-seop, who has been "separated while legally married" for 11 years, a serious question: "Would it be better to remarry or to live alone?" Hearing this, Baek Il-seop replied, "If there is someone, then do it. Because you're at that age. If you date a bit, living together wouldn't be uncomfortable. There's no rule that you must live alone," offering unexpected advice encouraging his junior to marry.
Then unmarried Kim Seung-soo asked, seemingly puzzled. Kim Seung-soo mentioned that Baek Il-seop has been separated while legally married for 11 years and asked, "You said living alone is comfortable, so why are you telling me to get married?"
In response, Baek Il-seop calmly began to reveal the weight of 40 years of married life. He confessed, "I only had the feeling of wanting to get out and be free. There was face to consider. I drank and went around a lot, and in the end people would say, 'They'll get divorced. They won't live long,' and I hated hearing that. So I endured and lived like that for 40 years," admitting that he had to endure because of others' views.
Baek Il-seop candidly said, "My feelings kept hardening and my work wasn't going well. One day I suddenly said, 'I'm leaving,' and I left," and revealed the real reason he became separated while legally married for 11 years after finally leaving behind the resentment he had endured for 40 years, drawing attention.
