Actor Park Jae-hyun expresses a strong reaction, saying, 'Just thinking about it makes me feel dirty.'
On the second episode of TV CHOSUN's reality show 'X's Private Life,' airing at 10 PM on the 24th, Park Jae-hyun, known as the 'Jang Dong-gun of Surprise,' appears in the studio. He joins MCs Kim Gura, Jang Yoon-jung, Jung Kyung-mi, and Cheon Rok-dam to observe the post-divorce life of his ex-wife, who is 16 years younger.
In the VCR, Han Hye-joo starts a simple yet warm day with her daughter in a neat apartment. Kim Gura comments, 'She's living so well,' while Park Jae-hyun reveals, 'It's the house she got after the divorce, and I've been there too,' heating up the atmosphere. However, when Jang Yoon-jung makes a comment about the peaceful daily life of the mother and daughter, Park Jae-hyun reacts intensely, saying, 'Just thinking about it makes me feel dirty,' freezing the studio.
Later, Han Hye-joo sends her daughter to daycare and heads to another location. As everyone watches in surprise, she appears in traditional Korean attire, sparking curiosity. When she stands in front of a shrine in a secretly prepared space, Jung Kyung-mi asks, 'Is her job...?' with widened eyes. Han Hye-joo reveals, 'This is the shrine where I work,' and adds, 'I've been living as a shaman since the divorce,' shocking everyone. Park Jae-hyun shares, 'She told me a year after receiving the spiritual calling,' while Cheon Rok-dam exclaims, 'That's incredible,' at a loss for words. Han Hye-joo adds, 'I received the spiritual calling at the same time as the divorce. I believe the divorce was part of the process to follow the path of the divine.'
After revealing her unexpected profession, Han Hye-joo goes on a blind date with a charming divorced man who has visuals comparable to an actor. Watching the two, Park Jae-hyun shows a subtle expression, contrasting with his past admission of feeling inadequate during his marriage, drawing attention to the complex emotions behind his gaze.
