Broadcast personality Choi Dong-seok, formerly an announcer, continues his daily life with composure as his ex-wife Park Ji-yoon is identified as a suspect in a defamation case she is facing.

On the 28th, Choi Dong-seok shared a notice regarding a "group purchase" through his personal account.

Choi Dong-seok posted, "Due to a high volume of orders, delivery is somewhat delayed. We are processing shipments sequentially as quickly as possible. We sincerely apologize and are grateful for your patience."

He also posted photos of the bags currently available for group purchase.

Earlier, according to a report by The Korea Economic Daily (Hankyung) website, the Seogwipo Police Station in Jeju is reportedly investigating Choi Dong-seok on suspicion of defaming Park Ji-yoon.

Park Ji-yoon's side has filed criminal complaints against multiple anonymous poster authors for spreading malicious posts and rumors on online platforms in 2025, and Choi Dong-seok was among the identified suspects.

However, regarding this matter, Choi Dong-seok's side reportedly stated that they have not received any official contact concerning the allegations but were contacted for an investigation as a witness. They further clarified that a friend of Park Ji-yoon posted a defamatory article about Choi Dong-seok and was investigated as the complainant.

Meanwhile, Choi Dong-seok and Park Ji-yoon met as members of the 30th class of KBS announcers in 2004 and married after four years of dating in 2009. However, they filed for divorce mediation in October 2023, ending their 14-year marriage.

Since then, both parties have filed mutual defamation lawsuits, each claiming "no misconduct occurred." The two are also jointly undergoing trial proceedings for the main divorce case.
