A one-sided revelation against a former spouse, who is it for?

This is a world where divorce itself is not a flaw. There are many couples who break up because they don't get along. However, freely talking about what happened after divorce is a different matter. This may not be the minimum courtesy towards the person you have already broken up with. This is especially true when the ex-spouse's fault is unilaterally revealed to the entire nation through broadcasting.

Recently, Channel A's 'Oh Eun-young's Golden Counseling Center' announced that it would air a broadcast in which broadcaster Seo Jeong-hee mentions her marriage process and life with the late Seo Se-won. In the released trailer, Seo Jeong-hee not only revealed her difficult feelings during the divorce from Seo Se-won, but also revealed CCTV footage showing her being assaulted by her husband at the time. Seo Jeong-hee's mother also appears as a witness.

Watching Seo Jeong-hee tell her story with tears in her eyes, Dr. Oh Eun-young said, "I don't think it was love. It's because it's a method that doesn't help the other person grow." Seo Jeong-hee sheds tears, saying, “I got married at the age of 19 and am now over 60 years old. So is my whole life wrong?” The footage will be broadcast on Channel A on the 12th.

Previously, Seo Se-won passed away in an unexpected accident in Cambodia on the 20th of last month. It is true that Seo Se-won caused an indelible wound to Seo Jeong-hee, who was everything to her when she was alive. However, Seo Se-won passed away less than a month ago. Some people still find it difficult to let go of the deceased, and there are children whose wounds have not yet healed. Seo Se-won also has a remarried wife and an 8-year-old daughter.

Many people feel sad about Seo Jeong-hee's unfortunate marriage history. This is something that has been revealed several times in the media. Therefore, there is an understandable aspect of Seo Jeong-hee's feelings as she has to unravel the threads of painful memories as soon as the deceased leaves.

However, some in the broadcasting industry are expressing concern as to whether it was possible to take more time and talk in a calm manner. It is pointed out that there are doubts about whether Seo Jeong-hee's 'recalling the past' is good for Seo Jeong-hee herself beyond being consumed as a provocative broadcast surrounding the deceased.

As the broadcast comes out and numerous news stories pour in, criticism against Seo Se-won intensifies. The question is how much that can heal Seo Jeong-hee's heart. In particular, there are some sad views that Seo Jeong-hee, who recently woke up after going through a difficult time fighting cancer, is choosing a difficult path on her own.

In addition to Seo Jeong-hee, Lee Ji-hyun, who used to work in jewelry, maintains her image as a 'single mom' character raising children after divorcing twice on TV. She confessed that she was mentally devastated during the divorce proceedings with her first husband. In the second divorce, they said that they separated not long after getting together, even though they only registered their marriage.

After her divorce, Jihyun Lee unilaterally revealed the story of her marriage. Outspoken criticism continued. Beyond the one-sided criticism of her ex-husband, who is an ordinary person, it was pointed out that she did not consider the impact on her children, who are still minors. In addition, Jihyun Lee has revealed the faces of her children through various broadcasts. One wonders whether it was necessary to mention the divorce process in detail when the children's identities were known nationwide.

Divorce is painful. The scars will remain and you may suffer for the rest of your life. At the same time, it is a thorough personal fraud. Opinions about the divorce process may differ. There is nothing to be gained by going on air and mentioning the divorce process and attracting the attention of viewers. Viewers simply consume the provocative divorce process. We must also listen carefully to the point that no matter how divorced a person is, it is disrespectful to the ex-spouse and the remaining family to bring back the pain. In the end, it is you who can overcome your wounds.
