A contestant from a dating reality show has been swept up in allegations of adultery. The production team plans to completely edit out the contestant's footage.
On the episode of JTBC's 'Crime Chief' that aired on January 20, a woman in her 40s came forward claiming she divorced her husband 4 years ago due to his affair. She claimed to be shocked to see the woman involved in the affair appearing on a dating show.
The broadcast also reported that a court ruling found both the husband and the other woman responsible for the breakdown of the marriage.
Attorney Yang Jiyeol explained during the show, “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."
According to the broadcast, the court ordered the husband and the mistress to jointly pay 30 million KRW in alimony. However, the informant stated, "I still haven't received the alimony, and the division of assets has not been finalized." She added, "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."
Meanwhile, the woman identified as the alleged mistress denied the claims, saying, "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." It was reported that she also sent a formal legal notice through her lawyer. Regarding this, Attorney Yang commented, "It's difficult to accept that claim, given that a court ruling exists."
Amidst the controversy, the production team of the dating show 'Match to Marry,' in which the contestant appeared, decided to completely edit out her footage. During the broadcast, the production team also said they are considering filing a damages lawsuit.
On the 20th, a representative from 'Match to Marry' told Xports News, "The production team only recently became aware of these facts. 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."
They further stated, "We plan to delete the contestant's footage as much as possible from the remaining episodes," and noted that they are currently discussing regarding further actions as they verify the facts with the contestant herself.
SBS' 'Match to Marry,' which premiered on January 1, is a dating show where 10 single men and women who want to get married live together with 10 mothers who want to see their children to marry for 6 days and 5 nights. As it is a parent-accompanied cohabitation matchmaking reality show, the contestant in question appeared on the program together with her mother, which has further fueled the controversy.
