Singer Hong Seo-beom, who has been thrust into the spotlight amid controversy over his son's private life, and his wife Cho Kap-kyung have shared their recent activities.
Namgung Ok-bun posted a photo on her SNS on the 6th with the caption "Gathered in Gwanghwamun." In the released photos and videos, Cho Kap-kyung was seen smiling and making a V-sign with her fingers, while Hong Seo-beom also drew attention with his relaxed demeanor.
Namgung Ok-bun added, "We became quite close through various conversations until past 9 o'clock. We know that whatever we do will turn out well. With Hong Seo-beom as our leader, we have decided to unite."
The two made their first appearance since the allegations of their son's affair surfaced, drawing intense public interest.
In March, it was reported that A, the son of Hong Seo-beom and Cho Kap-kyung, faced a lawsuit from his former wife B for damages related to the dissolution of their de facto marriage. The first-instance court ruled in favor of holding A liable, ordering him to pay 30 million won in compensation and 800,000 won monthly as child support. Additionally, it was reported that B also won a separate lawsuit against C, the other woman involved, receiving 20 million won in compensation.

B claimed that A, her spouse during her pregnancy, had an affair with a fellow teacher. She also stated that even after the first-instance ruling, compensation and child support were not properly paid. During this process, allegations arose that Hong Seo-beom and Cho Kap-kyung, as A's parents, had stood by and done nothing to address the situation.
As the controversy intensified, Hong Seo-beom and Cho Kap-kyung issued a statement through their son's legal representative: "We will strictly guide our son to ensure that obligations such as child support and compensation resulting from the first-instance ruling are fulfilled promptly." They further added, "We sincerely apologize to the public for the disappointment and inconvenience caused by our son's divorce proceedings."
Subsequently, B appealed the first-instance ruling, but the second-instance court upheld the original judgment, partially ruling in favor of the plaintiff.
B expressed her feelings, saying, "Is there really no law to protect victims? Even after receiving compensation, I have to pay more because money was given under the guise of investment, and child support remains unchanged. Why should I, the victim, continue to suffer losses?" She also remarked, "There is evidence that wasn't even brought up before; why would I need to hide it?"
A, refusing to accept the second-instance ruling, filed a petition for appeal with the Supreme Court, and the case will now proceed to the highest court.
