Actor Choi Jeong-yoon met Dr. Oh Eun-young.
On the followingnoon of the 16th, Channel A’s entertainment program ‘Oh Eun-young’s Gold Counseling Center’, Choi Jung-yoon appeared and spoke regarding the difficulties of being a single mother in the first year of divorce.
As soon as Choi Jung-yoon appeared, he showed off his ‘daughter fool’ aspect. About his daughter Ji-woo, “bright. Wherever he goes, he gets compliments on how well he eats. And she sleeps well.”
Choi Jeong-yoon, who announced the divorce last year following 10 years of marriage, confessed that her daughter’s expression of affection was too excessive. She was surprised that her daughter’s skinship and expression of affection were excessive enough that her daughter even said to her acquaintances, “My dad, let’s sleep at my house.”
Choi Jeong-yoon also mentioned the absence of the child’s father. He said, “My daughter said, ‘Hello? I’m Yoon Ji-woo, I don’t live with my dad,’ he says first. So more (divorce) rumors spread quickly. On the contrary, I thought it was good because I was confident. It was good that I didn’t have a child in my heart, but it was so so,” he said honestly.
Dr. Oh Eun-young, who heard this, said, “I wonder if this is because the child recognizes the absence of the father.” Then Choi Jung-yoon said, “At first, those words sounded heartbreaking. However, if you ask, ‘Do you really want that?’, they say no. I don’t even know what the hell this is. I wondered if it was because I wanted to own a family. He said he didn’t like it when he said, ‘Do you need a younger brother?’
Dr. Oh Eun-young said, “I think this expression of the father’s absence can be uncomfortable and unfair to Mr. Jeong Yoon. She gave twice or three times as much love as daddy mightn’t, so she wouldn’t let the kid run out of love,” she pinched.
In particular, Choi Jeong-yoon confessed why he did not want to announce the divorce. “The reason I didn’t want to formalize the divorce was because I was afraid that sometimes people would misunderstand, even though the child and I are fine. I hated it because I was afraid that if I saw a child on the street, I would hear ‘It’s because I don’t have a dad’. I was afraid that all the problems would be focused there, so I wanted to keep (married life) at least on paper. I didn’t want to hear that, so that was my prejudice,” she said honestly.
In response, Dr. Oh Eun-young said, “I understand the realistic situation, but the decision to postpone the divorce and maintain the marriage was for the sake of the child rather than for herself. He emphasized, “No one can easily judge someone else’s family life.”
Choi Jeong-yoon also calmly mentioned ‘hate comments’. He said that not everyone looked at it favorably. “There was such a thing in the comments. I don’t read comments, but people around me talked regarding it,” she said. He continued, “I hated that my child had to suffer from discomfort because of my choice, but now that I have made a choice, I am trying to overcome it as much as possible. Because it is our reality, I think it is a mountain to overcome rather than a worry.”
Dr. Eunyoung Oh asked questions. What she said, “How did you explain divorce to your child?” Choi Jeong-yoon said, “It seems that we talked regarding it sparingly. She said, ‘Dad’s not coming back now, he decided to go their separate ways.’
Then Dr. Oh Eun-young said, “Ji-woo is still young. I think I explained it as if I was talking to a very old child regarding my parents’ divorce and my father’s absence. Since I’m still young, I don’t think I’ll understand this process. It is vague and ambiguous, and then anxiety accompanies it,” she advised.
He said, “You have to explain in detail the numerous emotions, such as emptiness, disappointment, and fear, from the first meeting of mom and dad to marriage and divorce, appropriate to the child’s age.” that’s it It is better to speak honestly and calmly,” he added.
