The episode aired on the 12th showcased Lee Beom-soo as he concluded his divorce proceedings and embarked on a new chapter in his life.
On the show, Lee Beom-soo was seen starting his morning alone, tidying up his bedding before heading to his children's rooms. Although the spaces were now empty, he diligently cleaned, organizing the areas that once belonged to his kids.
Lee Beom-soo shared the physical and emotional toll of the day his divorce was finalized.
He recalled, "After reaching an agreement and returning home, I found myself lying down without realizing it. The next day, I felt as if I had been physically beaten. It seemed like I caught a cold as the tension of resolving issues that had lingered for 2-3 years finally released."
He candidly expressed his thoughts on divorce, saying, "There are no winners in a divorce. Both parties are hurt. It's not just the two of us; there are children involved. My pain isn't what's important; I feel so sorry for the kids and for leaving my family with this pain."
Lee Beom-soo emphasized his feelings for his children, recalling the moment he reunited with them after the agreement.
He shared, "I was worried about how the kids would feel, but 2-3 days after the agreement, they reached out saying they missed me. We met, and it felt like I laughed with them for the first time in years. Since then, my son visits twice a week after school, and my daughter comes often too. I'm grateful."
Previously, Lee Beom-soo ended his 14-year marriage with interpreter Lee Yoon-jin. After a two-year process, the legal proceedings were finalized in February. Currently, his children live in their respective environments, and he continues to maintain his affection for them despite the distance.
