Choi Byung-gil PD has revealed the contents of the settlement proposal presented during his divorce proceedings from his former wife, Seo Yu-ri.

On the 18th, Choi Byung-gil PD disclosed a divorce settlement document drafted by Seo Yu-ri's lawyer in March 2024.

The disclosed document specified the amount of property division and concrete conditions related to supporting Seo Yu-ri's entertainment activities. The proposal included a clause stating that Choi Byung-gil PD would not obstruct Seo Yu-ri's entertainment activities and, in accordance with previously signed agreements, must cast her as a lead or supporting actress in a specific drama. Additionally, it included conditions that if the agreement is not honored, she must appear in his next project that he directs or produces, and that he must accompany her to the Cannes International Series Festival.

Choi Byung-gil PD argued, ""Casting cannot be decided by the director alone, so I could not honor it, and accompanying her to the Cannes Festival is absurd, so I rejected it"," and further stated, ""As a result, we had to conclude the negotiations on the condition of adding 60 million won"."

Choi Byung-gil PD then mentioned the reason for disclosing the document, stating, ""The other party first disclosed the settlement agreement that should not have been made public and continued to slander, so I only took minimal countermeasures"." He also responded, ""The previously signed agreement is merely their claim; I was not in a position to make such a promise, and I never made one"."

Previously, in March, Seo Yu-ri disclosed the divorce settlement agreement, claiming she had not received the property division amount of several hundred million won, which was due by the 31st, 2024, from Choi Byung-gil PD. She further claimed, ""I tried to resolve the debt issue by contacting him personally, but Choi Byung-gil PD blocked my contact number from the start, forcing me to disclose the divorce settlement agreement"."

Choi Byung-gil and Seo Yu-ri married in 2019 but divorced last March. During this process, they experienced financial conflicts. Choi Byung-gil filed for bankruptcy, and Seo Yu-ri recently confessed, ""The debt incurred after the divorce amounts to 2 billion won. I have currently repaid about 1.3 billion won"."

Seo Yu-ri debuted in 2008 as the first cohort of Daewon Broadcasting voice actors. She gained recognition through her appearances on MBC variety show "My Little Television."

Choi Byung-gil directed dramas such as "Angry Mom" and "Missing Nine." Recently, he took on the role of director for the U+ Mobile TV drama "Tarot: Seven Stories."
