 Woo Ji-won reveals the real reason for divorce in tears 'A good person before retirement, not domestic violence'
Woo Ji-won, a former basketball player, revealed the reason for his real divorce.

Woo Ji-won appeared for the first time on TV Chosun 'Now I'm Alone', which aired on the 8th, and expressed her honest position on the divorce.

Woo Ji-won married her ex-wife, whom she met in 2000 with the introduction of an acquaintance, in 2002, and had two daughters, but she ended her 17-year marriage by divorcing in 2019.

Woo Ji-won said, "When I was a player, I couldn't come home a lot, but when I was at home without playing, the quarrel became more frequent."," he recalled.

Woo Ji-won threw a fan and others in 2014 while arguing with his ex-wife while intoxicated, and his ex-wife reported Woo Ji-won to the police as a domestic attacker and was arrested and released as a current offender. At that time, Woo Ji-won "Everything worked out well and both regret and reflect." He apologized for throwing the fan, saying, "It's definitely my fault..." but some speculated that the incident at the time may have been the decisive reason for the divorce.

Woo Ji-won said, `After work, I started drinking with my ex-wife, but when I had a drink or two, I had things in my mind. I heard something, but I was very offended, so I threw a fan on the floor and went into the room in anger, and the police came home. It's my first time doing something like that. I did something wrong and I regret it a lot. I think I and my ex-wife had damage to each other at that time."

But the case wasn't the trigger for a decisive divorce. As the quarrel continued, they separated and eventually agreed that it was right to separate.

Woo Ji-won was sorry whenever he showed a fight. At that time, I didn't want to break up, and I tried to live well somehow, but I couldn't."

Currently, Woo Ji-won is taking care of her first child and her ex-wife is taking care of her second child. I naturally grew up separately because I thought that raising each other would make my heart less empty. "When I was a player, my salary was high, so I didn't have a big problem, but now I can't send my child to study abroad, and my second daughter had to do ballet and provide a lot of support. The mother of the children supports most of the expenses for their first daughter's study abroad. I'm so sorry and thank you for raising my children well."

Woo Ji-won's father was also worried about his daughter-in-law. I hope it goes well. The daughter-in-law's heart must have hurt, too. He was truly a good girl. I want to tell you that you did a great job" and shed tears.
