Woo Ji-won talked deeply about her marriage and divorce from her ex-wife. "After marriage, my first daughter was born and I was happy, but I couldn't come home often because I was in the middle of my career, so I had frequent fights between couples," he said, explaining why the couple's relationship was cracked. He added that the conflict deepened as he spent more time at home after his career.
In particular, he recalled the case of being arrested in 2014 for throwing a fan during a quarrel with his wife while drunk at home.
