While singers Hong Seo-beom and Cho Gap-kyung apologized for their son's alleged affair, former daughter-in-law A expressed anger.
A, who was the wife of Hong Seo-beom and Cho Gap-kyung's son, posted on his account on the 29th, "Apologize to himself and my child, not to the public."
Mr. A said, "Please apologize to yourself and my child's family, not to the public. "It's a mess, so I'm pretending to apologize to the public," he said. "From the standpoint, it's very different from the argument?' No, I'm not. It's all true, so you're going to talk about it properly and vaguely. I don't want to admit it, but I'm embarrassed. But it's his son's fault. I want you to apologize properly for what you did to me and my family. a false apology. a forced apology. a brazen manner. It's been three years since it was aired. Everyone, please continue to help me so that it doesn't disappear easily."
Hong Seo-beom and Cho Gap-kyung expressed their apologies through MK Sports and other media on the 28th. The two said, "First of all, I bow down and deeply apologize for the disappointment and inconvenience to the public regarding my son's recently reported divorce lawsuit. After returning home, we directly checked related data such as the ruling and the progress of the divorce lawsuit and confirmed that there is a difference between what we have received and what we have actually received," he apologized.
Hong Seo-beom and Jo Gap-kyung said, "I haven't intervened in the divorce process because I think I respect the privacy and autonomy of my adult son regardless of the facts, but as a result, there was a great lack of being able to look closely at my child's faults as a parent. "I sincerely reflect on my failure to set an example as a public figure," he said. "Although the other party's appeal is underway, my couple will strictly guide my son to fulfill his duties following the first trial's ruling, including child support and alimony, through his son's legal representative. Above all, I fully respect the other person's decision on the birth and parenting of my granddaughter, and I will look at my son so that he can fulfill his responsibilities as a father of a child to the end," he added.
According to the New Daily earlier, the Daejeon Family Court ruled in favor of the plaintiff in the first trial of a damage suit filed by A against B, the son of Hong Seo-beom Cho Gap-kyung, in September last year, saying, "B should pay A 30 million won in alimony." It also ordered 800,000 won per month for child support. Mr. A appealed against the ruling of the first trial in October of the same year. According to Star News reports, A and B's appeal suit was originally scheduled on the 26th, but B applied for a change of the date the day before, and the court accepts it, and the appeal trial will be revived next month.
Amid growing suspicions of B's affair through the YouTube channel Se-yeon, Hong Seo-beom and Cho Gap-kyung even apologized. However, the former daughter-in-law A is more angry at the apology, and attention is focusing on how the case will be settled.
