Shim Hyun-seop, breakup notice + contact cut off → sobbing… Shim Hye-jin “A long-awaited encounter” (Joseon‘s Lovers)

TV CHOSUN’s ultra-realistic documentary entertainment ‘Joseon‘s Lovers’ showed the reunion of Shim Hyun-seop ♥ Jung Young-rim after their breakup crisis.

On the ‘Joseon’s Lovers’ aired on the 6th, ‘Lovers’ Kim Gook-jin X Kang Soo-ji X Choi Sung-gook X Hwang Bo-ra X Kim Ji-min appeared as special MCs and ‘Marine Boy’ Park Tae-hwan revealed the current status of Shim Hyun-seop ♥ Jung Young-rim. Before watching the video, Park Tae-hwan said, “They say no news is good news... Isn‘t this a good situation?”, expressing his anticipation for the love story of Shim Hyun-seop ♥ Jung Young-rim.

However, Shim Hyun-seop, who met the production team, was calm, unlike usual. He said, “To be honest, there was a cold war for about 4-5 days. I had a hard time because of the fake news that attacked Yeong-rim and her family,” and shared his recent situation in which he was tired of strange rumors such as his girlfriend’s “defector rumor” and “pregnancy rumor.” He continued, “They are seeing each other well. I think strange rumors and strange rumors are also an issue. But Yeong-rim was a bit hurt,” and added, “We are getting stronger mentally as a ”couple-to-be.“ I will tell you (about the wedding date) when I go to greet my father-in-law this spring,” and said that wedding preparations are progressing one by one.

However, two days later, the news of Shim Hyun-seop and Jung Young-rim‘s breakup, which was not just a “fight” but “really over,” came as a shock. Shim Hyun-seop, who came up to Seoul from Ulsan without even being able to catch his breath, said with a haggard look, “I think Yeong-rim is exhausted due to the situation.”

Due to the recent spread of fake news, Yeong-rim’s mother collapsed, and even her relatives opposed their relationship, saying, “Young-rim should meet an ordinary person.” Everyone was very exhausted. Choi Sung-gook and Hwang Bo-ra expressed their regret, saying, “Your mother collapsing is a big deal. Even I don‘t think I could handle it.”

Not only Shim Hyun-seop, but also the production crew could not contact Jeong Yeong-rim. In the meantime, Shim Hyun-seop met with Shim Hye-jin, the first president of the ‘Kyeolchuwi’ support group. Shim Hye-jin, ‘Sim’s aunt’, demanded, “It‘s not easy for people to meet and break up. What did you do?” It turned out that Shim Hyun-seop had frequent meetings with Ulsan acquaintances who would help him with his business in order to settle down in Ulsan. He came down to Ulsan saying he would see his girlfriend, but his girlfriend had to wait for him.

When Shim Hye-jin found out about this, she said, “You two don’t see each other every day, you only see each other four times a month. If you treat her badly, you‘ll wonder how well you’ll do when you get married. I usually try to take your side, but not this time.”

Furthermore, Shim Hyun-seop didn‘t check his girlfriend’s text asking him to buy her medicine because she was sick and had meetings until midnight. He even had a criminal record of saying, “You buy it and eat it.” Shim Hye-jin said, “Why are you so arrogant? You deserve to get your ears pierced. You can‘t always say nice things to a lover, but if you’ve upset the other person, find a solution quickly. There‘s no other way. She advised him, “Pray that your hands and feet become your feet.”

Following Sim Gomo’s advice, Sim Hyeon-seop left for Ulsan in a hurry. Kim Ji-min, who saw this, said, “I had a fight with (Kim Jun-ho) and went down to the countryside, and I cut off contact for a week. I was annoyed by the contact, but when my boyfriend came, I felt relieved.” She hoped that the ill-feeling between Sim Hyeon-seop and his girlfriend would be resolved. After that, Sim Hyeon-seop waited in front of his girlfriend’s house, with whom he had cut off contact, but he was unable to meet her in the end, and he had to return to his new home in Ulsan, which he had decorated as his new home.

The next day dawned, and Sim Hyeon-seop began his day sobbing from the pain of separation. Sim Hyeon-seop soon sent his girlfriend a message that could have been his last, and the two eventually met again at a cafe. Sim Hyeon-seop, who had difficulty meeting his girlfriend, apologized, but his girlfriend said, “We didn’t have time to talk,” and he said, “There was something about it.” He refuted, saying, ”It wasn’t like that,“ drawing sighs from the ”Love Hunters.“ Afterwards, Park Tae-hwan cried out, ”I‘d rather exercise,“ at Shim Hyun-seop’s frustrated appearance and awkward silence, as if he didn‘t know a woman’s heart.

However, a few days later, the two told the production team the good news, ”We decided to meet again.“ Jung Young-rim said, ”I realized that I cared about you more than I thought (during the breakup process),“ giving a touching ending. In the following preview, Shim Hyun-seop, who has changed 180 degrees after their reunion, is caught showing his endless affection for his girlfriend.

The ultra-realistic documentary entertainment show ”Joseon‘s Love Hunters“ airs every Monday at 10 p.m. on TV CHOSUN.
