TV Chosun’s entertainment show’We Got Divorced’ (hereinafter’Woo Divorce’), which started with good momentum, was recently caught in controversy in various aspects such as performers and stories, and the warning lights lit red.
The story of Lee Young-ha and Seon Woo Eun-suk of the first’Couple No. 1’and Choi Choi Ki-ki and Yoo Cat-nip of’Couple No. 2’got quite the sympathy from the viewers and made good use of the planning intention. It is also clearly meaningful that the reality of divorce is not small enough to exceed 110,000 cases a year (Statistics Office, as of 2019) with familiar entertainment.
The story of Choi Choi and Yoo Catnip, who were separated by the problems of parents, not their own problems, and the process of opening their hearts little by little while meeting again with the indifferent Lee Young-ha and Seon Woo Eun-suk, who had a relationship with him for decades. Got the sympathy of the younger generation.
However, as the story progressed, the inner heart was opened, and the program gave the impression of encouraging the’reunion’ of the performers, and some viewers began to show a sense of rejection. Of course, it is possible for the performers to reunite while filming the program together, but focusing too much on it is not polite to the performers who would have decided on a critical issue after sufficient consideration, and it is also artificial from the perspective of the program.
Since then, casting is also making doubts about authenticity.
In particular, it was controversial when Kim Dong-sung, a former short track national team member who appeared recently, appeared with his girlfriend who aims to marry again. In the past, Kim Dong-sung was named on’Bad Fathers’, an online site that reveals the identity of parents who do not pay child support to caregivers raising children alone. He claimed that he had spent 2 million won out of 3 million won in income before the ice rink closed due to a novel coronavirus infection (Corona 19) on the air, but his ex-wife immediately denied it, creating a muddy fight atmosphere. Although it is still difficult to clarify the truth about child support, it was admitted that Kim Dong-sung had an internal relationship with Jang Si-ho, the nephew of Choi Seo-won (previously renamed Choi Soon-sil), who was indicted in the Gukjeong Nongdan case while he was married in the past. In this case, Jang was sentenced to pay 7 million won for alimony to Kim Dong-sung’s ex-wife.
In addition to this, the appearance of saying that you can solve the child support expenses by publicly appearing on the broadcast and receiving an appearance fee did not convince viewers at all.
