From Lee Hye-jung and Jung Dae-se, who came back, to Robert Harley, who newly joined, star couples reflect on the importance of family through 'virtual divorce'.

On the 16th, an online production presentation for MBN '"determination to divorce at least once" was held. Producer Kim Yong-man, Oh Yoon-ah, Lee Hye-jeong, Choi Jun-seok, Jung Dae-se and Yoon Se-young attended the site.

"Hangyeol" is a virtual divorce observation reality program that realistically captures star couples preparing and executing virtual divorces, and it received hot attention with the highest viewer rating of 5.3% (Nilson Korea, based on paid households nationwide) during the pilot broadcast in January.



After about six months of reorganization, Lee Hye-jeong, Ko Min-hwan, Jeong Dae-se, and Myung Seo-hyun, who appeared on the pilot broadcast, came back. On top of that, Robert Harley, Myung Hyun-sook, Choi Joon-seok, and Eo Hyo-in will join the new couple to look into the marital relationship and their respective problems through 'virtual divorce'.

Lee Hye-jeong and Jung Dae-se once again talked about the reason why they found 'Han Yi-gyeol'. Lee Hye-jung said "When you first started the virtual divorce, "What's this?' I thought so, but as I did it, I was scolded so much. I thought I was living well, but I looked back on myself once, and my husband now knows the form of our couple's life by looking back on himself. When I was upset by the time I thought, "Are we the only ones like this?" I saw the Dae-Jae couple fighting and felt that they could be in the same situation regardless of age. It was difficult at first, but now I felt like I could live the rest of my life better"I wonder how different my husband will be."



Jeong Dae-se "I've been married for 10 years. I had a different feeling than when I was newly married. The children grew up a lot, and when I looked at the screen, I wondered if I was this bad. I felt sorry if Seohyun, who married such a man, was living a happy life. Also, while living with his wife-in-law, he deliberately stopped talking about the problem because he was afraid that his father-in-law and mother-in-law would be burdened. I thought I should be more objective and make my family happier"But the reason I'm appearing again is because there's another problem," he said, raising his curiosity.

Choi Joon-seok, a former star baseball player, plans to look into the marital conflict caused by business and investment failures after retiring as a player through 'virtual divorce' and receive a solution. In fact, he considered divorcing his wife, saying, `The marital relationship has deteriorated since I was scammed for investment. I didn't listen to my wife and had a hard time due to financial problems. At that time, it was the last days of the player, and there were a lot of things to do, but as we kept fighting, I thought we wouldn't be able to even work outThere was also a feeling that ' There was a time when I really almost went to the end with my wife. Nevertheless, I changed my mind a little at the end because of the children. When the kids were really young, I felt like, 'If we break up, we break up, but what do we do with the kids?'"He confessed.



Through a virtual divorce, Robert Harley will show his pain and family trauma honestly and try to find a solution. Producer Yoon said, `The production team thought a lot about the process of recruiting Robert Harley, and Harley thought a lot about it, too"I talked to my wife, Myung Hyun-sook, while I was thinking about many things, and they said that after the drug incident, the relationship between the couple became very difficult, and there was a difficult situation in the family relationship. He said in tears that he wanted to recover that part, so I thought it would be appropriate for this couple to appear on our sincere program", he explained.

Earlier, 'Hangyul' even appeared on the actual children of stars during the pilot broadcast, sparking controversy over child abuse. Producer Yoon responded, "I feel a heavy responsibility as a production team. In fact, it was basically a situation that we had before we filmed this show that we didn't let underage children be exposed to the fact that it was a divorce," he said.

"Nevertheless, the biggest axis in the process of divorce is the division of property and custody, and we couldn't help but talk about custody issues. I didn't tell them in advance and expose them directly, but I explained it by expressing it in a hurry, but it seems that there were some concerns for the viewers. Once again, I apologize on behalf of the production team."

Regarding the supplement made through regular broadcasting, "There are very few children, but they only participated in the daily life and excluded the process of divorce and conflict between couples as much as possible."."

Meanwhile, MBN 'Hangyul' will air at 10 p.m. on the 18th.
