YouTubers Choi Go-gi and Yu Gyeol-ip Stir Controversy with Return to Divorce Reality Show
On March 3, TV Chosun's official YouTube channel released a teaser for the new observational reality show 'X's Private Life.' The teaser, titled 'What if you had the chance to peek into the private life of your ex-spouse?', showcases the deepening emotional rift between Choi Go-gi and Yu Gyeol-ip compared to six years ago.
In the video, Choi Go-gi expresses his anger while watching a VCR, stating, "It feels like I'm being dissed," and "I feel dirty." Meanwhile, Yu Gyeol-ip is seen tearing up, saying, "How easy do you think I am?"
Choi Go-gi also reveals a past conflict between his father and Yu Gyeol-ip, mentioning, "The first thing my father said was, 'She's a tough one,'" which shocked viewers. Yu Gyeol-ip recalled the incident, saying, "It drove me crazy."
The video has drawn negative comments such as, "They seem to be doing fine, so why do this just because they're offered a spot?", "No self-respect," and "How much are they getting paid to appear?" Many viewers are puzzled by their participation in another divorce reality show, especially since Yu Gyeol-ip has recently appeared on Choi Go-gi's YouTube channel, showing a seemingly amicable relationship as they co-parent their daughter.
Choi Go-gi and Yu Gyeol-ip married in 2016 and had a daughter but divorced after four years. They previously gained attention by appearing on TV Chosun's 'We Got Divorced.' Currently, Choi Go-gi has custody of their daughter.
TV Chosun's new observational reality show 'X's Private Life' is set to premiere on March 17.
