  Where's the end of 'muddy divorce lawsuit'
Broadcaster Choi Dong-seok has been at the center of the controversy by voluntarily dropping out of the TV Chosun program "Now Alone" in four months after controversy over divorce and mutual lawsuits.

Choi Dong-seok's agency Story & Plus said in an official statement on the 18th, "We apologize for causing concern to our personal affairs and decided to leave the company in the hope that it would not cause any further damage to the program."," he bowed his head.

In July, Choi Dong-seok returned to broadcasting after four years through the pilot program 'Now I'm Alone'. In the program, which tells the story of people who stand alone after divorce, Choi Dong-seok said, `I haven't made up my mind. I knew (the divorce) from the article. When I got home, my family was gone", he confessed about the shocking divorce process. However, controversy over his remarks continued, sparking controversy.



The relationship between Choi Dong-seok and Park Ji-yoon deteriorated as time went by. Park Ji-yoon filed a lawsuit against Choi Dong-seok's acquaintance, A, and Choi Dong-seok also filed a lawsuit against Park Ji-yoon and another man, B, and the two entered a `bilateral lawsuit.' This shocked public opinion and deepened the conflict between the couple.

In 'Now Alone', which aired on the 15th, Choi Dong-seok expressed his feelings about the bilateral lawsuit and "I regret it a lot." Whether the opponent does it or not, I want to drop the lawsuit I filed first. I think that's the first step in unraveling the thread." However, the situation worsened two days after the remarks were made, with a transcript of the two men's specific marital fight being released.



The transcript caused a stir as it contained the conflict between the two in the issue of their children's tuition fees and Park Ji-yoon's client meetings and meetings. In particular, Choi Dong-seok revealed the reason and dissatisfaction for restricting Park Ji-yoon's activities, and Park Ji-yoon also complained of the difficulties she experienced in the divorce process.

As the controversy grew, 'I'm alone now' said "We're watching the current situation and discussing whether to appear or not." However, the program is also expected to be hit hard by Choi Dong-seok's announcement of his departure.
