Yoo Gae-ttip Reveals Her New Boyfriend on TV CHOSUN's 'X's Private Life'

Yoo Gae-ttip is set to reveal her new boyfriend on TV.

On the 6th episode of TV CHOSUN's 'X's Private Life', airing on the 21st at 10 PM, 'divorcee of 7 years' Choi Go-gi (Choi Beom-gyu) will witness his 'ex-wife' Yoo Gae-ttip (Yoo Ye-rin) introduce her unmarried boyfriend for the first time on television.

In the VCR segment, Yoo Gae-ttip is seen working part-time at a cafe to earn child support, drawing attention. After a video call with her daughter Sol-ip, who lives apart from her, she tearfully wonders, "Why does Sol-ip like me so much?" Observing this, Jang Yoon-jung and Jung Kyung-mi are moved to tears, saying, "Because you're her mom," creating an emotional atmosphere in the studio. On her late-night commute, Yoo Gae-ttip confesses, "Sol-ip is my goal and direction," while Kim Gura comments, "The public might easily say she lacks maternal love because the father is raising the daughter," expressing sympathy.

Later, Yoo Gae-ttip meets her daughter through a visitation arrangement, with Choi Go-gi accompanying them, leading to a three-way meeting. Sol-ip brings a list of 11 'bucket list' items she wants to do with her mom, touching everyone, and the mother-daughter duo embarks on fulfilling one of them, 'going to a jjimjilbang', spending precious time together. During this, Yoo Gae-ttip suggests drawing a 'family picture' to her daughter. She ponders, "Will I be included in the family? What will it look like?" adding to the emotional depth. Choi Go-gi, witnessing this, remarks, "It's heartbreaking," increasing curiosity about the meaning behind the drawing.

After the visitation, the atmosphere shifts dramatically as Yoo Gae-ttip surprises everyone by revealing her boyfriend. The MCs, upon seeing him, exclaim, "Is it really him?", "Is this for real?", plunging into 'chaos'. However, Kim Gura coolly concludes, "Since Choi Go-gi also proposed to his girlfriend, it's all good." Furthermore, when Yoo Gae-ttip brings up the topic of remarriage, Jung Kyung-mi cautiously asks Choi Go-gi, "How would you feel if Sol-ip called Gae-ttip's boyfriend 'dad'?" This question heightens the tension, as Choi Go-gi, who holds custody of Sol-ip, shows a tense expression.

As viewers eagerly anticipate his response, the story of 'mom' Yoo Gae-ttip, who, despite finding a new person and life after divorce, still says, "My daughter is my direction," will be unveiled in the 6th episode of 'X's Private Life' airing tonight.
