A heated controversy has arisen after it was revealed that a woman, who was allegedly involved in an affair that led to the collapse of a family, has appeared as a contestant on a popular dating reality program.
On the 20th, JTBC’s 'Crime Chief' shared a tip-off regarding a woman who starred in a dating show after destroying a family.
The informant, a woman in her 40s who divorced 4 years ago due to her husband's affair, stated, "I was deeply shocked to see my husband's mistress starring in a dating show." She explained that when she divorced her husband in 2022, she filed both a divorce lawsuit and a lawsuit against the mistress. She reportedly won the case against the mistress.
The informant, who was a full-time housewife, claimed that the conflict escalated after she moved and began living apart from her husband. She said, "We moved to a smaller apartment, and my husband suddenly left home saying, 'I can't live like this,' and told me, 'I'm leaving because of you.'" Shortly after, she received divorce papers from him.
During that time, the informant heard from an acquaintance that her husband had been seen holding hands and putting his arm around a woman at night. She eventually discovered that the woman was an employee at a business her husband operated. It was also confirmed that the two had traveled overseas together several times.
Regarding the case, attorney Yang Jiyeol explained, “The informant proceeded with the divorce and the mistress lawsuit at the same time. Originally, the husband filed for divorce first, and she countersued.” He added, “According to the court ruling, the husband was at fault. The court determined that after the woman joined the company in 2016, their relationship developed into an affair, and they even traveled abroad together. The court ruled that the responsibility for the breakdown of the marriage lies with the husband and the other woman."
The court ordered the husband and the mistress to jointly pay 30 million KRW in alimony. However, the informant has yet to receive the alimony, and the the division of assets with her husband has not yet been finalized.
The informant said, “I thought I had forgotten everything after the divorce, but I think the trauma remains. When I think about it, my heart starts racing again and I feel very anxious.” She continued, "It breaks my heart that I cannot live with my children due to my financial circumstances after the divorce, but what hurts the most is that the person who destroyed my family is appearing on TV as if nothing happened, hiding her past saying she wants to find a new partner."
In response, the woman identified as the mistress told 'Crime Chief,' "This has nothing to do with me, and I have never received any court ruling." She added, "I will take legal action against any groundless claims."
The production team of the dating show stated, "Our contracts include clauses requiring contestants to guarantee that they have no history of social controversies such as crimes, affairs, or school violence. We also specify penalties for violations to prevent them from hiding their past. Yet, these things still happen." They added, "We have repeatedly tried to verify the facts with the contestant in question but have not received clear answers. Regardless of the outcome, we will minimize or remove that contestant's footage as much as possible from the remaining episodes. We are also considering a lawsuit for damages against the contestant."
