I was shocked by the fact that Choi Joon-seok had to live on 500,000 won after paying off child support and debt out of his income of 5 million won a month.

The MBN entertainment show `Decision to Divorce at least once' aired on the 8th depicted Choi Joon-seok and Lee Hyo-in in conflict over child support and the right to negotiate interviews.

Choi Jun-seok asked "Let me meet my children whenever I want to see them every day." However, Lee Hyo-in insisted that the set schedule is important, saying "I hope the children look forward to meeting their father and wait for the day." When Choi Joon-seok asked "Do you have to put up with it when you miss your children?" Lee replied "When you decide to divorce, your children need time to adjust."

The two decided to clearly set the interview negotiation cycle. Lee Hyo-in said to Choi Jun-seok, "It's selfish to meet whenever I miss you," he said, stressing that as a mother, she should consider her child's emotions. Choi Joon-seok refuted this, saying, `Since you are a father, you can see it when you want to see it,' while Lee Hyo-in countered, `We need rules for interview negotiations as well.' Choi Jun-seok said, `We cannot yield the right to negotiate an interview"and took a hard line.

Also, the issue of child support for two children was raised. The child support cost per child aged 9 to 11 was 1.31 million won, and about 2.6 million won had to be paid per month to the two children. Choi Jun-seok said, `After hearing a lot of money going out every month, the divorce came to reality" he vented.

In response, Choi Joon-seok asked to reduce the burden of child support. Lee Hyo-in expressed dissatisfaction, saying, `Are you asking me to raise my child and pay for child support?' Choi Joon-seok explained "2.6 to 2.7 million won is also tight for me", but Lee Hyo-in refuted "It costs 1 million won for children's education alone".

Lee Hyo-in said "Are you asking me to live on child support alone. I was absent throughout my marriage, and am I not here?" he said angrily. Choi Joon-seok explained "The child support expenses are based on their own standards", but Lee Hyo-in continued a tense disagreement, saying "It's cheap in front of money".

In an interview with the production team, Choi Joon-seok said, `I was embarrassed because the situation was going crazy,' and Lee Hyo-in said, `It's frustrating because it seems like I'm going according to my husband's opinion"He confessed his intentions.

Choi Joon-seok said, `If you earn 5 million won a month and pay 3.76 million won as child support and pay off the interest on your debt, you will have 500,000 won left. I'm starving to death, too" he appealed. Lee Hyo-in says, "There's nothing I want to do. I'll give up."There was a tense confrontation.
