It was reported that the second son of singers Hong Seo-beom and Cho Kang-jop were sentenced to a breakdown of their common-law marriage due to their affair. However, Hong Seo-beom said that his son was "not the perpetrator of an irregularity," but that he took care of some of the alimony caused by the ruling.

According to the New Daily on the 25th, the Daejeon Family Court ruled that "B should pay 30 million won in alimony to A" in a lawsuit filed against B on September 26 last year. In addition, the court also ordered 800,000 won per month for child support.

Earlier, A claimed damages worth 100 million won and 1.1 million won per month for child support against B, but has filed an appeal since the ruling.

The two met in August 2021 as an acquaintance introduction and married in February 2024. Since then, A became pregnant in March of the same year, but B continued his relationship with C, a teacher at the same school, in April, a month later.

Mr. A later took issue with the meeting between Mr. B and Mr. C, and Mr. C reportedly admitted the fact of sexual intercourse at a meeting with the three of them in July. In response, B claimed, "There was no cheating, and even if there was, the marriage was already broken," but the court refused to accept it.

The court judged that "the marriage relationship broke down due to B's attribution," based on the contents of the conversation in which the three were present, the facts of marriage and honeymoon, and the situation of the call and meeting.

Mr. A is also known to have received 20 million won in alimony in a mutual lawsuit against Mr. C.

In this regard, Hong Seo-beom has become a hot topic by expressing his somewhat unfair feelings through the YouTube channel "Garoseo Research Institute."

Hong Seo-beom explained, "After the first trial ruling, my son first paid 20 million won out of 30 million won in alimony," adding, "He also tried to pay child support, but is on hold waiting for the results of the appeal trial based on the lawyer's advice." In particular, Hong Seo-beom said, "After the first trial ruling, I gave 20 million won (to my son). How much money would a fixed-term physical education teacher make. I told my son, 'Give me 30 million won (A's alimony) from your money of 10 million won, solve this first.' Of course, the money went to (Mr. A)," he explained.

In addition, Hong Seo-beom said, "It is seen as if my son did not pay at all, but it is not true. He is making my son a coward."

Hong Seo-beom mentioned that A was owed debt to his son, adding, "We also considered offsetting the debt instead of paying false funds, but we paid some of them first to clear up."

In addition, he refuted the claim that A informed his parents-in-law of his affair, saying, "I have never been contacted, and I have never blocked his contact information."

However, Hong Seo-beom maintained his position on the view that his son was an affair perpetrator, saying, "I can't see it like that."

Meanwhile, Hong Seo-beom and Jo Gap-kyung married in 1994 and have one son and two daughters.
