Inside the Life of You Kkaetnip: A Glimpse into Her Post-Divorce Journey

The personal life of You Kkaetnip is unveiled in 'X's Private Life.'

On the upcoming episode 6 of TV CHOSUN's 'X's Private Life,' airing on the 21st at 10 PM, Choi Go-gi (Choi Beom-gyu), who is seven years post-divorce, appears in the studio to watch the daily life of his ex-wife You Kkaetnip (Yoo Yerin) alongside hosts Kim Gura, Jang Yoon-jung, Jung Kyung-mi, and Cheon Rok-dam.

During the episode, You Kkaetnip is seen in a VCR segment focusing on her 'main job' as a beauty creator with 320,000 subscribers. Jang Yoon-jung admires her, saying, “She’s so pretty, she looks like Son Tae-young.” You Kkaetnip reflects on her relationship with Choi Go-gi, their premarital pregnancy, and their married life with their daughter Sol-ip, revealing the reasons behind their conflicts.

Choi Go-gi expresses regret, saying, “I feel sorry when I think about it now,” and You Kkaetnip reveals, “We divorced the day after a big fight, and I left with nothing, no property division.” Kim Gura is surprised by her decision, calling it a difficult choice for a woman, while Choi Go-gi explains the circumstances at the time.

Later, You Kkaetnip reveals her current life, which has been shrouded in mystery. Jang Yoon-jung reacts humorously to You Kkaetnip’s single-room living situation, comparing it to a recently discharged soldier’s room. You Kkaetnip’s lifestyle, including eating instant noodles and rice and only washing her bangs before going out, surprises Choi Go-gi, causing laughter.

You Kkaetnip then heads to a café for work, explaining, “After the divorce, my highest YouTube earnings were 70 million won, and the lowest was zero. The inconsistent income made it difficult to pay child support, so I started a part-time job for a steady income.” Choi Go-gi expresses sympathy, saying, “It seems she’s trying hard for Sol-ip,” and Kim Gura supports them, likening their dedication to their daughter to Choi Go-gi’s forklift work.

After finishing her part-time job, You Kkaetnip video calls her daughter and ends up in tears. The reason behind her tears and Choi Go-gi’s reaction to witnessing this moment draws interest.
