MC Seo In-young of "Seo In-young's Trendy Oldie" met with a divorce specialist lawyer and candidly shared her experiences regarding divorce.

In the fourth episode of the T-Cast E Channel variety show "Seo In-young's Trendy Oldie" (directed by Lee Ji-sun, produced by Studio Brave), which aired on the 22nd, divorce specialist lawyer Park Min-cheol appeared as a one-day special expert.

On this day, MC Seo In-young became solemn at the topic of "divorce," yet candidly shared her experiences and thoughts. MC MimiMino introduced "breakup compensation," which has recently become a hot topic among the MZ generation. Regarding a story about a man who decided marriage was impossible after a long-term relationship and wanted to give his girlfriend 50 million won out of guilt, Seo In-young said, "Wow. That's excessive. But I would be willing to accept it," eliciting laughter.

When lawyer Park Min-cheol appeared, Seo In-young expressed her delight, saying, "I should have met you before." Lawyer Park Min-cheol retorted, "You shouldn't meet me anymore now." Seo In-young added, "I want to stay close in everyday life. You never know what will happen to a person. I didn't know I would get divorced either. But apparently everyone else knew except me," turning the scene into a sea of laughter.

Previously, Seo In-young married a non-celebrity businessman in 2023 but faced the end of their marriage the following year. She is currently known to be dating content creative company NP's Choi Ji-hun (CEO), who is six years her senior, with marriage in mind.

Cases of divorces among world-renowned billionaires and astronomical property divisions were also introduced. Microsoft founder Bill Gates was estimated to have divided assets worth approximately 8 trillion won when he divorced after 27 years of marriage, while Amazon founder Jeff Bezos was reported to have transferred shares worth approximately 4 trillion won to his ex-wife.

Divorce cases involving domestic chaebols were also discussed. This included the divorce lawsuit between SK Group Chairman Chey Tae-won and Art Center Nabi Director Noh So-young, as well as the property division lawsuit of Smilegate Chief Vision Presenter Kwon Hyuk-bin. In particular, it was reported that in Kwon Hyek-bin's lawsuit, a first-instance ruling ordered the division of assets worth approximately 2.55 trillion won, astonishing the audience.

Lawyer Park Min-cheol also shared tips on preparing for property division during divorce. He explained that keeping a diary recording childcare and housework and sharing it with one's spouse via messages can serve as evidence proving contribution to asset formation. He further noted, "It also has the effect of making married life more fulfilling and eliminating problems," highlighting the positive aspects of record-keeping.

Prenuptial agreements of overseas celebrities also drew attention. Among these, it was revealed that Seo In-young ranked first in a 2010 survey by a marriage information company on "Celebrities who seem like they would sign a prenuptial agreement." Seo In-young confessed, "My mind has changed now, but at the time, I absolutely thought one should be signed. That was a good judgment. But when it came to actually getting married, I couldn't do it. I kicked the ground in regret. Please definitely sign one."

The case of soccer player Cristiano Ronaldo's prenuptial agreement was also introduced. It excluded Ronaldo's assets from division upon divorce and stipulated that his spouse would receive ownership of a Madrid mansion and 100,000 euros per month. In the case of YouTuber MrBeast's prenuptial agreement, clauses limiting rights to YouTube revenue and equity, as well as a provision to pay approximately 7.3 billion won in the event of infidelity, were introduced.

Regarding what clauses she would include if she were to write a prenuptial agreement, Seo In-young stated, "I was also earning over 100 thousand won before. I think I would definitely include a clause saying not to touch my money."

Subsequently, the duty of maintaining dignity and penalty clauses included in celebrities' advertising contracts were also introduced. Lawyer Park Min-cheol explained that there are cases where contract conditions even include obligations to maintain hairstyle and weight.

Historical marriage contracts were also examined. A clay tablet discovered in Turkey, dating back approximately 4,000 years, recorded the names of the couple, witnesses, and compensation to be paid upon divorce. It was also revealed that a clause allowed for taking a female slave as a surrogate if no child was born within two years of marriage, astonishing the audience.

Absurd compensation claim cases were also disclosed. From an incident where a person claimed approximately 13 million won because their blind date did not show up at the agreed location, to an incident where a husband filed for divorce and claimed approximately 23 million won in compensation after seeing his wife's bare face the day after the wedding, the appearances astonished the participants.

Unusual property division cases continued. In a case where a husband argued for disposal and a wife argued for storage of frozen embryos, the court ruled in favor of the wife. Additionally, cases were introduced where an agreement in actor William Shatner's divorce explicitly stated ownership rights to expensive stallion semen, and where a couple with substantial assets fought over a 67,000 won Toss toaster oven.

At the end of the broadcast, lawyer Park Min-cheol stated, "After dealing only with actual domestic cases, encountering unique and bizarre cases from overseas was very interesting and seems helpful for practical work as well." Seo In-young shared her impressions after discussing various topics about divorce, saying, "It feels stifling, like eating a sweet potato. I need to think carefully."
