Amid ongoing disputes between PD Choi Byung-gil and Seo Yu-ri following their divorce, Choi has released transcripts of conversations with Seo's legal representative to refute her claims.

On the 28th, PD Choi Byung-gil posted a message stating, "This is a KakaoTalk exchange with Seo Yu-ri's lawyer," along with the full chat log.

PD Choi Byung-gil stated, "I only know of one law firm representing Seo Yu-ri and have been communicating solely with them. It is entirely new to me that she claims I missed a scheduled meeting. In fact, the creditor side violated the agreement reached last year, and there is a clear document demanding 100 million won in breach-of-contract damages. Despite this, I have not held her accountable."

He continued, "Seo Yu-ri has been contacting me more persistently and aggressively than any loan shark, to the point where I felt nearly stalked. That is why I requested communication through her lawyer at the time. While 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 her legal representative has changed, please contact me directly like a man. I have never blocked a lawyer's communication. However, please understand that my phone calls and text messages are currently unreachable, and only KakaoTalk works. I sincerely hope this matter does not become more disruptive. No one in the world wants to see our conflict. It only brings mutual harm. I will cooperate unconditionally, so please stop mentioning me and have the lawyer contact me directly."

Previously, on the 26th, Seo Yu-ri published a lengthy post titled "Reply to PD Choi Byung-gil," which appears to have been written by her younger boyfriend, a legal professional with whom she is dating.

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

He further argued, "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 communication by reversing this order."

The author also stated, "Continuously releasing work activities and results while claiming an inability to even afford communication fees is inconsistent. If there is genuine intent 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 emphasized, "The other party to this debt was once a family member. Beyond the law, promises must be kept based on human ethics. Reopening communication and attending the scheduled meeting is the minimum responsibility. He should repay like a man."

The two married in 2019 but divorced in June 2024. Financial disputes arose during the divorce proceedings.

Seo Yu-ri has claimed that PD Choi Byung-gil 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 and has already repaid a significant portion of them.
