Both the mutual lawsuits that led announcer-turned-celebrities Park Ji-yoon and Choi Dong-seok to a mud fight were dismissed, but the divorce lawsuit is currently ongoing.
As a result of the Star News report on the 29th, the Jeju District Court is scheduled to resume hearing on the original case of Park Ji-yoon and Choi Dong-seok's divorce suit in April. While all the lawsuits filed by the two men for compensation for damages were dismissed on the 27th, attention is focusing on how the ruling will affect the divorce lawsuit.
Initially, the issue of whether the two sides were unfaithful was being dealt with in the original divorce lawsuit, but the conflict came to the surface when Park Ji-yoon filed a lawsuit for compensation for alimony against A, who was identified as Choi Dong-seok's daughter in July 2024. When this was known, Choi Dong-seok also filed a counter-action lawsuit against B, who was identified as Park Ji-yoon and Sang-nam in September of the same year, intensifying the legal battle. In the aftermath of the mutual lawsuit, Choi Dong-seok stepped down from the TV Chosun entertainment show "Now I'm Alone," putting a brake on his broadcasting activities.
During the lawsuit, both sides completely denied the allegations. Choi Dong-seok warned of a hard-line response to defamation, saying, "There was no illegal act during the marriage," and Park Ji-yoon also refuted, saying, "There was no cheating with the opposite sex during the marriage period and the lawsuit."
In the end, the court dismissed all the mutual lawsuits of both sides on the 27th. As a result of a comprehensive review of the claims raised and submitted data, it was reported that it was difficult to recognize the relationship between the two countries or that they could not be held liable for damages. As a result, neither of the commercial-related civil lawsuits, each of which was the plaintiff, was accepted.
However, the legal dispute between the two has not been completely settled. As disagreements remain over the reasons attributable to the division of property and the breakdown of marriage, attention is being paid to what judgment the court will make in future divorce proceedings. The possibility of an appeal against the mutual lawsuit is also open.
Meanwhile, Park Ji-yoon and Choi Dong-seok formed a relationship while joining the 30th KBS announcer and developed into a couple, and married in 2009 and had one son and one daughter. However, after 14 years of marriage, he was disbanded in October 2023. Currently, Park Ji-yoon holds custody of her children, and parental rights are reportedly maintained jointly with Choi Dong-seok.
