'I didn't want to pretend to be happy' Kim Byung-man (four-person table) who confessed to divorce after 10 years of separation



Kim Byung-man confesses his feelings for the first time since his divorce.

Kim Byung-man invites his best friends to his Gapyeong water hideout and has a special time together on Channel A 'Best Talk Documentary Four-Person Table' which will air on the 28th. On this day, actors Shim Hyung-tak, Jeon Hye-bin, and former wrestling national team Jung Ji-hyun will be invited to share their life stories and convey their precious relationship with Kim Byung-man. In particular, it attracted attention by setting up a 'Wild Table' consisting of a huge container and a large amount of skewers.

Kim Byung-man, who was greatly loved as a chief character in the popular corners of the `Gag Concert' and SBS"Law of the Jungle", honestly unraveled his life journey until he succeeded as a comedian. He recalled the process of being accepted as a comedian for open recruitment after eight challenges, spending only 300,000 won to Seoul to settle accommodation and board at Daehakro Theater. Growing up in an unauthorized dirt house as a child, he lived in the shabbyest house in the neighborhood. He confessed that he had developed his dream of becoming a comedian for his family, and he introduced an anecdote of encountering a security guard naked while earning living expenses by eating and sleeping in the gym, drawing laughter.



In addition, Kim Byung-man expressed his feelings about his divorce for the first time on the show. He explained why the separation, which began a year after marriage in 2011, lasted 10 years before divorcing in 2020. As for the reason for belatedly revealing the divorce, Kim Byung-man said, `I couldn't let go of the string because I was afraid that everything I had accumulated during my time in obscurity would collapse""I was sad and unhappy inside, but I had to pretend to be happy on the outside. However, in the `Law of the Jungle', it was convenient because I could only work without having to be funny.'

The best friends invited on this day also shared their updates. Actor Shim Hyung-tak reported on his marriage to his Japanese wife Saya, who is 18 years younger than him, and announced the news of his upcoming birth in January next year. He also revealed a behind-the-scenes story about the child's name, drawing laughter. Jeon Hye-bin told the happy daily life of raising her 2-year-old son. Jung Ji-hyun drew attention by telling actors Son Seok-gu and Heo Sung-tae how they are teaching wrestling by opening a wrestling gym.
