Actor Jin Tae-hyun Announces Departure from 'Divorce Consideration Camp'
On the 28th, Jin Tae-hyun shared a handwritten letter on his Instagram, stating, "I was planning to say goodbye after my last broadcast, but I decided to share this now."
In the letter, Jin Tae-hyun explained, "I am leaving 'Divorce Camp.' I was informed of the production team's explanation and decision regarding my departure through my manager, and I will be leaving after the final recording in early April."
He reflected, "My life experiences are limited and subjective, and I wonder if my thoughts and advice were helpful to viewers and participating couples. However, I worked harder and more sincerely on this show than any other in my 25-year career."
Jin Tae-hyun expressed gratitude to MC Seo Jang-hoon, saying, "I am thankful to Jang-hoon, who recommended me despite my shortcomings."
He added, "I will continue to live as a 'marriage-promoting couple' with my wife, filled with gratitude and love. I will also work hard on various broadcasts and challenges ahead."
Previously, on the 27th, a JTBC representative confirmed, "It is true that Jin Tae-hyun is leaving 'Divorce Camp.'" The decision was made as part of the program's restructuring and changes. Jin Tae-hyun's episodes will air until June, and his replacement has not been decided yet.
Jin Tae-hyun joined 'Divorce Camp' in August 2024, after it was officially scheduled on JTBC. He served as a husband-side investigator and couple psychodrama assistant for about 1 year and 8 months.
Notably, when Jin Tae-hyun was preparing for thyroid cancer surgery last year, the 'Divorce Camp' team wrote a rolling paper to support him and kept his spot open until he recovered and returned.
'Divorce Camp' is a reality show where couples contemplating divorce experience a simulated divorce consideration period and adjustment process, allowing them to realistically ponder actual divorce.
Although there is still a lot of broadcast content left, an official article has been published... I was planning to say goodbye after the last broadcast, but since so many articles have been published, I will greet you with a pre-written message. Please continue to watch until the end 🤍👋🏾
Hello, this is Jin Tae-hyun.
Today, I am here to share some news with you and my fans.
I am leaving 'Divorce Consideration Camp.' I was informed of the production team's explanation and decision regarding my departure through my manager, and I will be leaving after the final recording in early April.
My life experiences are too limited and subjective, and I have always worried about whether my personal thoughts and advice were helpful to viewers and participating couples. Looking back, I feel embarrassed. However, I worked harder and more sincerely on this show than any other in my 25-year career.
I am very grateful to Jang-hoon, who recommended me despite my shortcomings.
Now, I will continue to live as a 'marriage-promoting couple' with my wife, filled with gratitude and love. I will also work hard on various broadcasts and challenges ahead.
Thank you sincerely to all the viewers 🤍
