‘GodingMomPa3’ Lee Yu-ri, who appeared on the show, confesses her current status and feelings after 10 months of separation from her husband Park Jae-wook, hoping for a divorce.
On the 24th episode of MBN‘s ‘GodingMomPa5 That Adults Don’t Know’ on the 4th, Park Jae-wook, the husband of ‘High School Mom’ Lee Yu-ri from Season 3, appears in the studio for the first time in 1 year and 7 months to reveal that he and his wife are on the verge of divorce and asks for advice from the 3 MCs and expert panelists.
On that day, Park Jae-wook confessed to the studio guests, “My wife ran away with our son and is currently asking for a divorce. However, I want to protect my family for the sake of my son.” Then, regarding the reason for the separation, he said, “I was so angry that my wife went out to play and didn‘t make time for my son to get home. “We had a fight that day, and the next day, my wife took our son and left the house,” he explains.
“It’s already been 10 months and I haven’t seen my wife or son,” says Park Jae-wook, who has been living at his close older brother’s house for 3 months instead of his current home. Regarding this, he reveals his difficult feelings, saying, “It’s too hard to be in a house where my wife and child still exist, so I’ve been living in that house at the recommendation of my close older brother. It’s already been about 3 months.” A while later, Park Jae-wook returns home to his older brother’s house and when asked, “Have you eaten?” he replies, “I haven’t eaten a single meal all day,” and starts drinking. His acquaintance tries to dissuade him, saying, “Take care of your health. After that day, I thought I’d never see you again.” When the studio cast members were wondering what was going on, Park Jae-wook shocked everyone by saying, “Actually, I made a bad choice after my wife ran away.”
In the midst of the conflict, the production team contacted Lee Yu-ri to hear her side of the story. Lee Yu-ri, who had difficulty agreeing to an interview, said, “I want to divorce my husband, but it’s hard to meet him in person, so I came out to tell the production team what I think.” She continued, “Even after appearing on ‘High School Mom and Dad 3,’ my husband didn‘t change and didn’t even try,” and also contradicted her husband by saying, “I made sure to keep my son‘s homecoming time,” regarding the “reason for our separation.” Above all, Lee Yu-ri said, “The day we fought, my husband’s actions broke our trust and faith,” and “My son is afraid of adult men because of the shock that day,” causing a second shock. Seo Jang-hoon, who was listening to Lee Yu-ri, was so shocked that he couldn‘t close his mouth, and eventually got angry and scolded Park Jae-wook, saying, “You did the most cowardly thing a man can do.”
Whether the tense stance of Lee Yuri, who said “I definitely want to get a divorce for the sake of my son” after 10 months of separation, and Park Jae Wook, who said “I want to protect my family for the sake of my son”, can be narrowed can be found on MBN’s ‘High School Mom‘s Dad 5 That Adults Don’t Know’ Episode 24, which airs at 10:20 PM on the 4th.
