Inside the Emotional Journey of 'X's Private Life': A Tale of Divorce and Redemption

The premiere episode of TV CHOSUN's reality show 'X's Private Life' features Han Hye-joo, the ex-wife of actor Park Jae-hyun, as she reveals the intricate details of their divorce and her ex-husband's private life.

Airing at 10 PM on the 17th, the show presents a shocking divorce story that leaves hosts Kim Gu-ra, Jang Yoon-jung, Jung Kyung-mi, and Chun Rok-dam in disbelief. Han Hye-joo, who is 16 years younger than Park Jae-hyun, shares her side of the story.

In the episode, Park Jae-hyun appears on screen, candidly discussing his life post-divorce. He reveals, "Before our daughter's heart surgery, Hye-joo said she didn't want to live with my parents. Eventually, she left and asked for a divorce," leaving everyone stunned. Watching this, Han Hye-joo expresses her frustration, saying, "I have so much to say," as the hosts are left curious about the underlying story.

Park Jae-hyun's current life in a small one-room apartment is unveiled, prompting Jang Yoon-jung to express sympathy, while Kim Gu-ra delivers a blunt remark, "Did you expect to live lavishly after the divorce?" He adds, "It's not bad if the ex lives well, especially with a child involved," sharing his personal insight.

At 7 AM, Park Jae-hyun heads to work at a restaurant, leaving the kitchen after a 10-hour shift. His fellow actor, Jung Guk-bin, visits him, and during their conversation, Park Jae-hyun confesses, "I was a reenactment actor, not a full-fledged actor. I didn't want my daughter to be known as 'the daughter of a reenactment actor.' It could hurt her deeply."

Jung Guk-bin asks, "Can you afford child support now? What if your ex-wife starts a new family?" Park Jae-hyun responds, "I hope Hye-joo meets someone good and lives well," to which Kim Gu-ra retorts, "How can you talk about meeting someone good after a divorce?"

The episode also showcases Park Jae-hyun's interactions with his daughter and his first post-divorce blind date. Han Hye-joo, watching these moments, sheds tears, revealing her complex emotions. The hidden stories of Han Hye-joo and Park Jae-hyun will be unveiled in the premiere of 'X's Private Life' at 10 PM.
