Broadcaster Park Ji-yoon shared a meaningful message to mark her daughter’s birthday.

On the 22nd, Park posted several photos celebrating her daughter’s birthday with the caption, “Happy birthday, Da-in.”

Park wrote, “I went to bed right after exercising yesterday, so I couldn’t even make seaweed soup for breakfast this morning. Mom’s life has been a mess lately, but I believe that if we hold on, good days will come.” She added, “From now on, instead of saying ‘I’m sorry,’ I’ll say ‘I love you’ more often.”

She continued, “Mom was definitely reborn the day you were born. I clearly remember the moment when I, who had only been staying at home, held you and watched the falling autumn leaves before making up my mind: Let’s take this baby’s hand and go out into the world!” She added, “Since then, Mom has changed a lot and seems to have taken more active steps in the world, so I am always grateful to Da-in. I believe that following in Mom’s footsteps, Da-in will see a bigger world and live magnificently. I love you always. Let’s go to your favorite restaurant for dinner and eat something delicious.”

Park Ji-yoon and Choi Dong-seok met as fellow members of the 30th cohort of KBS announcers in 2004, married in 2009 after a four-year romance. However, they faced the end of their 14-year marriage when they filed for divorce mediation in October 2023. Since then, both parties have engaged in mutual lawsuits against third parties involved in alleged affairs, each claiming that “there was no extramarital affair.”

Choi Dong-seok is currently awaiting the verdict in the second-instance trial of the lawsuit he filed against an acquaintance of Park Ji-yoon. The lawsuit for damages as a co-participant in an affair, filed by Choi against Park’s acquaintance, Ms. A, has completed all hearings and is scheduled to hold its judgment pronouncement on November 16 at the Family Division 1-1 (A) of the Jeju District Court.

This appeal trial concluded after a total of two hearings following the first hearing in July.

Previously, the Single Judge for Family Litigation 2 at the Jeju District Court dismissed Choi Dong-seok’s claims at the judgment pronouncement hearing in January. Ahead of that January ruling, Choi’s side had submitted supplementary opinions twice to request a reopening of the trial. Subsequently, on February 12, through his legal representative, he filed an appeal against the dismissal of his lawsuit, taking the case to the second instance.

In contrast, Park Ji-yoon did not contest the outcome of the lawsuit she filed against Choi Dong-seok, and the judgment in favor of the defendant was finally confirmed.

However, unlike in the first instance, in the second instance transferred due to Choi’s appeal, Park Ji-yoon was excluded as a defendant party, and only Ms. A was involved.

In this lawsuit, Park Ji-yoon had initially filed a complaint against Choi Dong-seok’s acquaintance, Mr. B, in July 2024. The dispute intensified when Choi responded with a counter-suit in September 2024, claiming that “the marriage was ruined due to Park Ji-yoon’s extramarital affair,” ahead of the second hearing date. Subsequently, both lawsuits resulted in judgments dismissing the plaintiffs’ claims in the first instance.
