Actor Park Jae-hyun's shaman wife, Han Hye-joo, has opened up about the conflicts in their marriage, stirring controversy.

On the October 24th episode of TV Chosun's 'X's Private Life,' the daily lives of Park Jae-hyun and his ex-wife Han Hye-joo were revealed.

Recalling the past, Han Hye-joo said, "I was completely overwhelmed as our child was about to undergo surgery." She explained, "My in-laws stayed with us for 10 days, and I had already apologized for not being able to prepare breakfast as I was busy taking care of the child."

However, the conflict arose unexpectedly. She recounted, "The day before my in-laws were to leave, my husband called me after drinking and asked, 'Why haven't you cooked for my parents even once?'"

Watching this, Park Jae-hyun clarified, "I wasn't intending to divorce," adding, "As a man, I felt there are times when you need to assert yourself."

The issues continued during parenting. Han Hye-joo revealed, "While pumping breast milk, I experienced hyperventilation and felt like I was going to die." Despite this, she said Park Jae-hyun insisted on breastfeeding, repeatedly saying, "Breast milk is essential for the child's health."

She added, "I even heard comments suggesting that the child's weak immunity was due to breastfeeding," adding to the shock.

Following the broadcast, viewers expressed their opinions, saying, "It's hard to understand the demand for breakfast when surgery was imminent," and "Insisting on breastfeeding during a hyperventilation episode was excessive," as the controversy continues to grow.

Meanwhile, Park Jae-hyun gained recognition as a reenactment actor on 'Mystery TV Surprise.' He married Han Hye-joo, who is 16 years his junior, in 2018, and they welcomed a daughter the same year. He also made headlines last year with his appearance on MBN's 'Exclusive World.'
