As PD Choi Byung-gil continues to exchange accusations with Seo Yu-ri following their divorce, he has released transcripts of conversations with Seo Yu-ri's legal representative to refute her claims.

On the 28th, PD Choi Byung-gil posted a message stating, "These are KakaoTalk messages exchanged with Seo Yu-ri's lawyer," and shared the conversation logs.

PD Choi Byung-gil argued, "I only know of one law firm representing Ms. Seo Yu-ri and have been communicating solely with them. It is the first time I am hearing that she missed a scheduled meeting. On the contrary, the creditor side violated the agreement reached last year, and there is a clear document stating that a penalty fee of 100 million won must be paid. Despite this, I have not held them accountable."

He continued, "Moreover, Seo Yu-ri has contacted me more persistently and aggressively than any loan shark, to the point where I felt nearly stalked. That is why I asked to be contacted through that lawyer at the time. Although I am not well-versed in the law, I understand that even loan sharks are legally prohibited from using such collection methods."

PD Choi Byung-gil added, "If your legal representative has changed, please contact me directly like a man. I have never blocked a lawyer's contact. However, please understand that my phone calls and text messages are currently unreachable, and only KakaoTalk works. I sincerely hope you stop making this matter public. Not everyone in the world wants to see our conflict. It only brings negative outcomes for both of us. I will cooperate unconditionally, so please stop mentioning me and have the lawyer contact me directly."

Previously, on the 26th, Seo Yu-ri posted a lengthy message titled "Reply to Mr. Choi Byung-gil," which appears to have been written by her younger boyfriend, a legal professional, with whom she is in a relationship.

The author responded to PD Choi Byung-gil's claims by stating, "Although he maintains his intention to pay the settlement amount, his expression of intent and actual execution are entirely different matters. Emphasizing consistency when he failed to appear at the third scheduled meeting lacks persuasiveness."

He further stated, "A debtor cannot dictate the method of contact. The repayment schedule and method should be proposed first by the debtor, and it is up to the creditor to decide whether to accept them. It is difficult to justify blocking contact by reversing this order."

The author added, "Continuously disclosing work activities and results while claiming an inability to even afford communication fees is inconsistent. If there is a genuine intention to repay, there must be at least a basic plan and execution. The excuse of 'lack of ability' is merely a cover for failing to keep promises."

He continued, "The other party to this debt is someone who was once family. Before the law, promises must be kept through human decency. Reopening communication and sitting down for the agreed meeting is the minimum responsibility," while emphasizing that he should repay like a man.

The two married in 2019 but divorced in June 2024. They have faced conflicts over financial issues since the divorce proceedings began.

Seo Yu-ri has claimed that PD Choi Byung-gil has repaid only 300 million won out of approximately 600 million won and has demanded payment of the remaining amount. Additionally, she stated that she assumed debts totaling approximately 2 billion won during the divorce process and has already repaid a significant portion of them.
