[Sportschosun Reporter Baek Ji-eun] Ms. A, the former daughter-in-law of the couple Hong Seo-beom and Jo Gap-kyung, has spoken out once again. On the 26th, Ms. A posted a lengthy message on her account.
Ms. A stated, "Is there really no law for victims? Even if I receive alimony, I have to pay more because of the money given under the pretext of investment, and child support remains the same. Are they helping these perpetrators, who appeared on health-related broadcasts, attended school well, and were preparing for the teacher certification exam, to live comfortably?" Ms. A expressed her indignation, saying, "I feel so wronged.
Why must I, the victim, suffer more damage and loss? There is evidence that hasn't been revealed yet, so do I really have to hide it? The mistress had her friend's father threaten me, but I hope she passes the certification exam this year. I am going to report this to the Office of Education. How dare they try to act like teachers after committing adultery at school?" Ms. A met Mr.
Hong, the son of Hong Seo-beom and Jo Gap-kyung, through an acquaintance in August 2021, and in 2024 They got married in February. The couple became pregnant a month later, but in October 2024, Ms. A filed a lawsuit for the dissolution of their de facto marriage and alimony, claiming that Mr. Hong had been having an affair with his coworker, Ms.
B, since April 2024. The Daejeon Family Court issued a partial victory ruling for the plaintiff last September. The court ordered Mr. Hong to pay Ms.
A 30 million won in alimony and 800,000 won per month in child support, but Ms. A appealed, arguing that the alimony and support were insufficient. The couple, Hong Seo-beom and Jo Gap-kyung, officially apologized, stating that they "failed to properly look after their child's faults" and would fulfill their responsibilities toward their granddaughter. However, Ms.
A repeatedly posted revelations, including claims that child support was still not being properly paid. Subsequently, the court ruled in favor of Ms. A in the appeal trial as well. Reporter Baek Ji-eun silk781220@sportschosun.com
