Kim Byeol, known for her appearance on the 17th season of 'Divorce Camp' as part of a countersuing couple, has candidly shared her feelings and recent experiences following the show.

On the 8th, the YouTube channel 'Jisangryeol KCM's Satisfaction by Proxy' released a video titled 'Behind the Scenes of Divorce Camp with Her | KCM's Proxy Driving Ep.05'. In the video, Kim Byeol sat down with KCM to discuss the circumstances during the show and her life afterward.

Introducing herself as the "most memorable wife of 25 years," Kim Byeol revealed, "The show led to our divorce, and now we are living our separate lives well." When KCM asked if there were any misunderstandings after appearing on 'Divorce Camp', Kim Byeol mentioned that some scenes were edited in a way that led to misconceptions.

"Only the parts where I was strictly disciplining my second child were shown, leading to accusations of 'child abuse'. I admit I was strict, but it was hurtful to be accused of abusing a child I love dearly. How could anyone abuse their own child?" she expressed her frustration.

Kim Byeol also shared how she was cast for the show. "I was contacted for the show and decided to participate. The appearance fee was substantial, enough to say 'a big amount!'" she remarked, though she also received numerous negative messages afterward.

KCM consoled her, saying, "People often criticize based on brief moments shown on TV. The nature of the program is to show sensational scenes, which can lead to misunderstandings."

Kim Byeol then revealed a recent hardship involving a voice phishing scam.

"My second child recently got into big trouble. He loves gaming and wanted to make in-game purchases. At 4 AM, someone contacted him, saying, 'I'll give you money, contact me on Telegram. 3 million won has been withdrawn from your mom's account, and to get it back, you need to transfer money. Bring your mom's phone.' In the end, 20 million won was transferred," she explained.

She added that the 20 million won was "the military savings of my first son," and despite her child's mistake, she couldn't blame him for the lack of money in the account. "It was a truly difficult time," she said, noting that although she reported it to the police, the loss of her entire savings and the emotional toll were significant.

Finally, Kim Byeol shared her realistic view on her divorce, saying, "I don't have a bad relationship with my second husband now. After all, we're just strangers," reflecting on her feelings post-show.
