Singer Hong Seo-beom's former daughter-in-law, Ms. A, expressed her anger shortly after the second-instance appeal trial.

On the 23rd, Ms. A said, "Does it make sense to show up without proper preparation even in the appeal trial?" and added, "Does it make sense to submit incorrect grounds for the claim and then be unable to respond to the appeal? Because of this, the trial has been delayed by another month. I am so angry that it is being delayed for such unreasonable reasons."

She further stated, "Why drag this out to such an extent to receive any punishment?"

Previously, the Daejeon Family Court, Division 1, held the second debate session for the appeal trial of Ms. A's lawsuit for damages based on the dissolution of a de facto marriage filed against her ex-husband, Mr. B, who is the son of Hong Seo-beom and Cho Gap-kyung.

Previously, Ms. A revealed that Mr. B committed adultery during their marriage, causing the marital relationship to break down, and claimed that Mr. B had an affair with a colleague teacher at the time of her pregnancy after they married in 2024.

Ms. A filed a lawsuit for compensation against Mr. B in October 2024. In September 2025, the first-instance court ruled that Mr. B was responsible for the breakdown of the marriage and ordered him to pay Ms. A 30 million won in compensation and 800,000 won per month in child support. Mr. B also won a damages lawsuit against the woman with whom he had an affair, receiving a judgment for 20 million won in compensation.

Mr. B appealed, arguing that the compensation and child support were insufficient.
