Doctor and broadcaster Yeo Esther revealed that she once broke off an engagement six months before her wedding.
On the 29th, a video titled "Human Theater, My Wife's Summer Vacation ep.2" was released on the YouTube channel 'Yeo Esther's Esther TV'.
In the released video, Yeo Esther shared her thoughts on marriage. She said, "I don't think marriage is mandatory," and added, "At the very least, there must be a firm conviction that I will be slightly happier living with this person than when I am alone."
She further advised, "You should not only look at how someone treats you but also observe how they treat others besides yourself."
During this discussion, she also revealed her past experience of breaking off an engagement before marriage. Yeo Esther recalled, "I met a man during my time at Seoul National University College of Medicine. When I was a first-year resident in the department, my father passed away, and it was very difficult for me. That friend helped me out, and we became a campus couple."
The two were even engaged around the time they graduated. Yeo Esther said, "During my internship, I met all kinds of people and gained various experiences. Around the middle of my internship, as the wedding date approached, I felt extremely suffocated."
Yeo Esther explained, "So I told him we couldn't get married. My sister even pulled out some of my hair. I said six months before the wedding that we couldn't proceed, and in the end, it was because I lacked certainty."

She also revealed aspects that didn't align with her former fiancé. She said, "He was a man who couldn't understand why I had multiple pairs of shoes," and added, "He even told me, 'Once we're married, there must be soup in the morning.'"
Hearing this, her husband Hong Hye-geol remarked, "It's not easy to say you can't get married just six months before the wedding. That's truly remarkable." He then added, "I'm glad you broke off the engagement."
Yeo Esther revealed that she met Hong Hye-geol four years after breaking off her previous engagement. While jokingly saying, "I was an old maid, but wasn't Dr. Hong a bit unusual?" she evaluated her husband as "basically kind, good-hearted, and diligent."
She further explained, "When I visited his family, everyone was wonderful, so I decided to marry him."
However, she added with a laugh, "But poverty wasn't something I had calculated for."
