Seo Jeong-hee, despite assaulting the late Seo Se-won, “I did it out of love”
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."
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.
