But Seo Jeong-hee was different. Seo Jeong-hee still thought that Seo Se-won did it out of love for her. Seo Jeong-hee said, “My son told me that I lived like a typical heretic,” and “(Seo Se-won) didn’t tell me not to see him, and I didn’t do it when he told me not to contact him.”

At the same time, he recalled the time of the assault, saying, "I felt resentful of the children (who were cursing Seo Se-won). I believed they did it because they loved me. It was something they did out of love."

Dr. Oh Eun-young said firmly, "I don't think it was love. I'm saying it wasn't love because it didn't help the other person grow." Seo Jeong-hee, who heard this, shed tears and said, "I got married when I was 19, and now I am over 60 years old. Does that mean my whole life has been wrong?"

Seo Jeong-hee married Seo Se-won in 1983 and has a daughter, Seo Dong-ju, and a son, Seo Dong-cheon. In 2014, it was reported that Seo Se-won assaulted Seo Jeong-hee, causing an uproar in the world. The following year, the two divorced, and Seo Se-won was sentenced to six months in prison and two years of probation on charges including assaulting Seo Jeong-hee.

Seo Se-won died at the age of 68 on the 20th of last month at a hospital in Cambodia after receiving an IV. Seo Se-won is said to have suffered from diabetes as a chronic disease during her lifetime, but it has not been revealed whether it was related to her death.

The recording of the broadcast in which Seo Jeong-hee appeared was made before Seo Se-won's death, and is scheduled to be broadcast on the 12th.
