On 'Problem Children of the Attic,' entertainer Hong Jin-kyung mentioned her divorced ex-husband.
The April 30 broadcast of KBS 2TV's 'Problem Children of the Attic' (hereinafter 'Okmun-a') Episode 312 was dedicated to guest Kim Shin-young.
That day, Kim Shin-young revealed, "My last relationship was in the 21st century. I dated my ex-boyfriend for 8 years and 6 months. We no longer keep in touch."
In response, Hong Jin-kyung became agitated, saying, "You don't keep in touch with that person at all? How can you live as strangers after dating for 8 years and 6 months? I can't understand that."
She expressed the thought, "Does it make sense to not even see each other's faces after breaking up with someone you were so close to?"
Since Hong Jin-kyung recently announced her divorce, Song Eun-i said, "It's a bit strange for you to bring that up," appearing at a loss.
Nevertheless, Hong Jin-kyung bluntly stated, "I live seeing (my ex-husband)'s face. We talked today as well."
Moreover, Hong Jin-kyung unexpectedly made the cast flustered by expressing longing for her former lover. She dropped a bombshell remark: "Wasn't I really ugly when I debuted? I didn't look like a human. But there was someone who thought that appearance was beautiful back then. I guess he was the real one."
At this, Kim Jong-kook couldn't help but say, "Why are you suddenly talking about 30 years ago?" while Joo Woo-jae remarked, "What are you talking about?"
Hong Jin-kyung married a non-celebrity businessman 5 years her senior in May 2003 and gave birth to her daughter, Rae-l, in 2010. However, the couple announced their divorce last year, 22 years after their marriage.
