Another repercussion is expected after it became known belatedly that former announcer Choi Dong-seok (45) was kicked in the shin by the bodyguard of his wife Park Ji-yoon (44), who is in the process of divorce. The two, who are currently going through divorce proceedings, are known to be in conflict over custody of their two children.
On the 4th, Choi Dong-seok said on his Instagram, "The security guard kicked the child's father in the shin and made him apologize. If they were going to use two bodyguards, they should have used trained personnel. I enjoyed the crazy sword dance without justification." wrote.
In addition, photos of Park Ji-yoon waiting for her child in front of the school gate with her bodyguard were released on the Internet community. It is known that the photo was shared in the group chat room of the mothers of Park Ji-yoon's children.
One netizen said, "On the children's first day of school, Park Ji-yoon showed up accompanied by a bodyguard. When the father (Choi Dong-seok) approached, (the bodyguard) kicked him. The mother heard Choi Dong-seok say, 'Huh? Why are you like this?' “There is also,” he claimed.
"Ironically, my son ran to his father first in front of the school gate," he said. "After that, he showed up with a bodyguard for several months, and since the father was a co-parent, we saw him briefly on the way home from school and then parted ways. I wonder if things have been sorted out recently. Park Ji-yoon “They say they are waiting in front of the school gate without a security guard,” he added.
Currently, all of Choi Dong-seok's posts and eyewitness accounts have been deleted, but it appears that Choi Dong-seok is taking action to gain the upper hand in relation to custody. On the 6th, he once again made headlines by posting a post criticizing Park Ji-yoon for attending a charity event in Seoul on her son's birthday.
Park Ji-yoon seems to refrain from mentioning anything related to divorce as much as possible. However, while recently sharing his thoughts on the first broadcast of TVING's original 'Crime Scene Returns' through social media, he said, "When I said I couldn't be with him due to personal reasons, PD Yoon Hyun-jun said, 'I'll do it without any problems, please trust me and follow me,' and comforted me when I was somewhat unstable. “I am very grateful to the writers and staff who worked hard together, especially our Manager Park, who helped me get up and finish the race when I was so broken that I wanted to quit,” he wrote, indirectly conveying his feelings.
Meanwhile, Park Ji-yoon and Choi Dong-seok, a KBS in-house couple, got married in November 2009 and had one son and one daughter, but announced their divorce in October last year after 14 years of marriage. They are currently going through divorce proceedings.
