Lee Chan-won lost well to Jeon Hyun-moo's side.
JTBC's 'Home Judge', which first aired yesterday (24th), is a full-fledged legal entertainment talk show that applies legal standards to all the big and small conflicts in life that no one has been able to accurately examine. As the first lawsuit dealt with the conflict between a married couple of eight years, it was full of various charms, including tense arguments from lawyers on both sides, unexpected twists, and fun elements.
On this day's broadcast, 'celebrity lawyers' Jeon Hyun-moo, Oh Na-ra, Hong Jin-kyung, and Lee Chan-won and 'professional lawyers' Shin Jung-kwon, Lee Ji-hoon, Noh Jong-eon, Park Eun-ju, Lee Eon, Jang Hyun-woo, and Baek Seung-woo had their first meeting and a client appeared. The wife attracted attention by accusing her husband of not doing any housework or childcare due to his financial ability, but using business as an excuse to have frequent drinking parties and inviting guests to the house without consulting her more than four times a week.
My husband is a writer, lecturer, and runs a franchise business. In order to ensure an accurate verdict, a video filmed from the complainant's wife's perspective showed her cleaning up the alcohol table that her husband had drunk with guests the previous day as soon as she woke up in the morning. The wife asked to put the child's clothes on while she was washing the dishes or to feed the child while she was getting ready for work, but due to the husband's uncooperative attitude, everything ended up being her responsibility.
The husband even made comments that went too far, with Lee Chan-won, the husband's lawyer, saying, "I think we need to think about losing the case in advance," while Jeon Hyun-moo, the wife's lawyer, was sure of winning the case and made everyone laugh. Subsequently, it was revealed that the CEO of the company where the wife, a working mother, worked was her husband, revealing that home and work were not separated.
Accordingly, Hong Jin-kyung, the husband's lawyer, immersed himself in the wife's position and said, "It seems to be a big problem that the vertical relationship continues even at home," or the husband showed a paternalistic attitude even at work and demanded that his wife be classified as a construction worker. She continued to forget her role as her husband's lawyer, saying, "But it seems like my husband can't distinguish between construction and construction anymore," causing laughter.
Also, unlike the wife who wanted a warm word, the husband compensated her materially by giving her a 9 million won earring as a Christmas present after serving her as a guest for 4 days in a row. The husband's one-sided notice to his wife, who was meeting with his step-sister, that he would set up a drinking party at home enraged the onlookers, and even made the wife laugh by asking guests who came to the house whether they would choose between material and emotional compensation. Although they lost, the atmosphere in the arena changed with the twist that the husband bought his wife two luxury foreign cars.
After the video ended, the husband, whom she met when he had bad credit and went on to become successful, gave a counter-argument, adding that his personality had changed while running a business. Even during the arguments of the lawyers on both sides, it was seen that the reason the husband earns money is because of his family, as money is the power to protect the family.
Afterwards, assuming that the wife filed for divorce, the final question was asked, 'How much alimony and property division can the wife receive in the event of divorce?' Meanwhile, the shocking fact that the husband held 98% of the franchise business stock in his wife's name was later revealed, surprising everyone.
Hong Jin-kyung reacted angrily, saying, “Why are you talking about that now?” and Lee Chan-won said, “I will argue again.” In addition, the apartment and foreign car were also said to be in his wife's name, leading to a new situation. However, the home judge's ruling was decided in favor of the wife and the husband should compensate for the alimony requested by the wife.
Meanwhile, in the Law How corner, which provides information on various disputes that everyone faces in their daily lives and how to resolve them wisely, honest and cool lawyers' answers to questions that many people have about alimony and property division, including attorney consultation fees, attracted attention.
JTBC's 'Homebrew Judge', which has captivated viewers with a topic that stimulates curiosity from the first broadcast, will be broadcast every Tuesday night at 8:50 pm starting with the second episode, which will air on the 31st.
