Actor Jin Tae-hyun Exits 'Divorce Deliberation Camp' After Two Years: Fans React
On the 27th, Jin Tae-hyun shared a post on his Instagram story without any comment.
The shared post featured a magazine article titled 'Jin Tae-hyun Exits Divorce Deliberation Camp... Completes Final Filming.' The article stated, "Jin Tae-hyun has been working as a household investigator for the husband's side and as an assistant in couple psychodramas. He completed his final filming on the 25th, ending nearly two years of activity."
His sudden departure has elicited various reactions from netizens. Most expressed sentiments like "He must have been stressed seeing all kinds of couples," "He must have been really stressed," "He probably said he couldn't do it anymore. I would lose my mind too," and "Being a romantic, it must have been tough for him."
Some also commented, "Personally, I think he must have felt a lot of dissonance while hosting this show. It must have been mentally taxing," and "Watching for so long, I felt like I was going crazy too. Good decision, Tae-hyun!"
Jin Tae-hyun joined 'Divorce Deliberation Camp' after it was officially scheduled on JTBC in August 2024. He served as a household investigator for the husband's side and an assistant in couple psychodramas for about 1 year and 8 months.
The 'Divorce Deliberation Camp' team showed affection for Jin Tae-hyun, even writing a rolling paper for him when he was about to undergo thyroid cancer surgery last year. They waited for his recovery and return to the show.
However, both JTBC and Jin Tae-hyun decided on his departure to bring changes and reorganization to the program.
Jin Tae-hyun's episodes will air until June. His replacement has not been decided yet.
Previously, there were rumors that the appearance fee for divorced couples on 'Divorce Deliberation Camp' was 10 million won. On the 11th, former participant Kim Byul mentioned on a YouTube channel, "They pay well. It's a decent amount, about 'one sheet.'"
Meanwhile, JTBC's 'Divorce Deliberation Camp' is a reality program where couples contemplating divorce experience a virtual deliberation and adjustment process during a retreat, allowing them to realistically consider actual divorce.
