Choi Dong-seok 'I thought it was Park Ji-yoon's divorce.'I haven't made up my mind' ('I'm alone now')
Broadcaster Choi Dong-seok talked about his divorce from Park Ji-yoon.

TV CHOSUN's new observation entertainment pilot program 'Now I'm Alone' was first broadcast on the 9th.

Regarding the reason for Choi Dong-seok's appearance on this day, "I actually thought about stopping the broadcast. In fact, he said, "I haven't been on air in four years. I've been courageous because I wanted to show my children how hard my father lives."

In his first year alone, he opened up about the divorce process from his childhood. "When I was young, I was very immersed in what I liked, and I was not interested in what I didn't care about, and I was into my own world. I dreamed of becoming a legal professional when I was a child, but I became an announcer later." He joined KBS in 2004 as the 30th announcer and married his colleague Park Ji-yoon, saying, `People get along well I got a lot of encouragement, too," he recalled. Choi Dong-seok, who became a father of siblings after marriage, said "Children are everything to me, more important than my life."

Then, in October last year, he was disbanded after 14 years of marriage. He said "When I actually experienced divorce, it was more time to reflect on my life than on my relationship with him. It was an opportunity to see it more objectively and organize my thoughts because neither side would have done anything wrong.

When asked if the first and second half of his marriage were very different, Choi Dong-seok said, `I think I tried to treat him the same way,' but added, `It's too hard I can't talk about this."

In addition, regarding the surrounding reactions after the divorce announcement, "In the beginning, no one told me, so I was grateful for that." On the other hand, when asked if he had asked for advice on his divorce decision, he said, `I have not made any decision (in regards to the divorce) to be honest"It shocked me by saying.

He came home the other day and there was no family. I came to Seoul to find my children and I slept at my parents' house and woke up, and I got a call from a reporter and found out. "It's not a sudden thing, there was an incident, but I can't say it now," he added.

Also "What bothers me the most about the divorce is the childrenChoi Dong-seok, "Divorce means that men and women can love and live together and break up. I'm not a person who can break up with children. Wouldn't it hurt children. I'm most worried that the children will have a hard time, he said, shedding tears at the brother and sister's story.
