Broadcast personality Hong Hye-geol, formerly a physician, revealed his wife Yeo Esther's generous flex.
The the 19th broadcast of MBC’s variety program 'Radio Star' featured a special episode titled "As Expected, I Won't Die, Hee-Hee," with guests Hong Hye-geol, HaHa, Park Young-jin, and Heki Shibaseki.
That day, Hong Hye-geol said, "During the COVID-19 pandemic, I went down to Jeju Island. Around that time, a lump like a tumor developed in my lungs. It lasted about five years. I took one dog with me. My wife's depression was also quite severe. She would force herself to smile when she saw me in the morning. Since even that felt unbearable, we decided to separate. So we lived apart."

He continued, "Around this time last year, I took my dog to the beach. The weather was nice, so I took a photo and posted it online for my wife to see. But she replied with a very hurtful response. It turned out that on that day, she had been feeling down and was using nasal medication when she received the photo. At that moment, I felt immense guilt and immediately came up to Seoul the next day. We have now been living together again for one year. She needs me."
The cast members mentioned the housekeeper 'auntie' who works at Hong Hye-geol's home, often appearing in his conversations, expressing concern that she might be worried due to their reconciliation. In response, Hong Hye-geol said, "We continue to pay her salary as before. She will remain with us."

Hong Hye-geol announced his recent health update, saying, "I was recently declared fully recovered," and added, "Since my wife suffers from depression, she stays in her room all day wearing pajamas. Whenever possible, we try to eat breakfast and dinner together. I also give her shoulder massages and stroke her hair. I act as a butler. There are joys and sorrows. Many people say my life has become easier."
He further mentioned Yeo Esther's recent condition: "She has improved significantly. The auntie even brought us some corn," once again referring to the housekeeper.
Kim Gura then asked, "Is the auntie a key figure in your household?" Hong Hye-geol replied, "My wife says we must care for the auntie for the rest of our lives; she is even more important than me. The auntie takes care of everything for my wife. It's no wonder that my wife bought her a house as well—right next to our home," surprising everyone.
HaHa asked, "In Gangnam?" Hong Hye-geol confirmed, "Yes. She has been with us for about 10 years," revealing Yeo Esther's generous flex.
