'Now I'm Alone' Woo Ji-won revealed the inside story of the domestic violence case 10 years ago.

Woo Ji-won's daily life after his divorce was revealed on TV Chosun 'Now Alone' which aired on the 8th.

Woo Ji-won, who has been divorced for six years, said "I didn't tell him because it wasn't a good thing, and in fact, I was scared, and when it became known that it was a divorce, I felt like a failure, so I was suppressed myself."," he said, explaining the reason for the belated announcement of the divorce.

Woo Ji-won then looked back on her last marriage. Woo Ji-won was married at the age of 30 because she had been dating for about two years and was judged to be someone she could spend her whole life with. A little over a year after getting married, the first child was born, Seoyoon It was so touching, amazing, lovely, and indescribable joy" he said.

However, as Woo Ji-won retired, the couple's fight became more frequent. Woo Ji-won said "I couldn't come home much because I was a long-time player, and I had less than half a year to commute. I couldn't see the children growing up every day. Don't you stay at home because you don't play as a player. I think it started when I was at home and had quarrels more often than I thought" he said.

Then, in 2014, an incident occurred in which a fan was thrown while arguing with his wife. Woo Ji-won came in after work and started drinking with his ex-wife. It was a comfortable place for the couple to do things that they couldn't say, but after drinking a cup or two, the stories in my heart became stronger or I said provocative words in front of my child. "I wanted him to stop there. Then, I think I was very offended by what I was hooked on, and I threw a fan on the floor in anger. Then I went into the room first, and the police came home."

Woo Ji-won said "I did something wrong, but it was my first time doing something like that. It's something I regret a lot, but at the same time, I went to the police station. I wonder if there was damage to each other, both to me and to my ex-spouse. It was not a decisive moment for " (divorce). I thought I had to do well again because I had kids. So I went home and tried again" he said.

However, the quarrel continued and the two eventually chose to separate. Woo Ji-won made the final decision that they both tried to make the family one for two years, but it didn't work out well, and they didn't break up because they were suddenly angry, but they had enough time and breathing together, and they thought it was right to break up with each other in the end"I feel so sorry for the children. I was so sorry whenever I saw them arguing often. I didn't want to break up at the time, and I tried to live well somehow, but I couldn't."

Woo Ji-won was living with her mother after sending her daughter Seo-yoon to study in the United States. Regarding custody, "I decided to raise one by one because I had custody and my mother decided to have the second." "I went right away because the first had no choice but to go to study after graduating from high school, and the second had to go to school in Seoul with my mother, so I decided to raise her." Being alone for the first time, I feel very empty, and I miss my children, and I go home alone with the light on, and there is no one, and it was a very difficult time." As for the reason for separate parenting, "It might be my greed, but I thought that it would be less empty if I had one rather than someone else's having it." We thought we were comfortable because we needed to raise each other" he said.

I got a video call from my daughter when I was working out hard. Woo Ji-won, who answered her daughter's phone even though she was out of breath, called back with regret after finishing her exercise. Woo Ji-won showed her daughter's silly side by capturing her daughter's appearance.

Woo Ji-won said "It cost a lot of money because my daughter is studying abroad. I heard a lot more than I thought, and until my child was in high school, I received a lot of salary when I was a player, and there was no big problem sending him to school. In fact, in my situation, I was not in a situation to send my child to study abroad, and I had to apply more than I thought because I was doing ballet, but my children's mothers are supporting most of their study abroad despite their difficulties"I'm so sorry and grateful. I'm so thankful that I'm taking this opportunity to take this opportunity to raise the kids well"We choked up.

Woo Ji-won "I do basketball academy, but my income is not constant. I'm ashamed of myself as a man, but apart from being ashamed, I broke up to the point where I wondered if there was such a mother in Korea, but thank you for playing the role well."
