“Choi Daniel and Cheating-Assault Rumors” Hwang Jung-eum, Ex-Husband → Ex-Boyfriend Kim Yong-jun Summoned [Comprehensive]
Actress Hwang Jung-eum and Choi Daniel have reunited after a long time.
On the 13th episode of the SBS Plus·E Channel jointly produced entertainment show ‘Because I‘m Solo’ that aired on the 1st, the scene where Hwang Jung-eum and Choi Daniel, who had a love line in ‘High Kick Through the Roof’, met was revealed, with 2MCs Shin Dong-yup, Hwang Jung-eum and ‘Solo Sister’ Park Eun-hye, and special guest Jeon Hye-bin appearing.
The two met after a long time since Hwang Jung-eum’s wedding and newlywed housewarming. Hwang Jung-eum reminisced about ‘High Kick Through the Roof’ 15 years ago and asked, “You liked me, right? Am I the only one who was mistaken?” Here, Choi Daniel said, “Are you really being honest?” before taking the time to reply, “As a woman, I didn‘t like you. It’s not like there was anything going on with Shin Se Kyung.” He added, “Wasn‘t that when you were dating publicly? You were also on ’We Got Married‘. I didn’t think about that at all.” At the time, Hwang Jung-eum had become a hot topic after appearing on the virtual marriage variety show ‘We Got Married’ with her long-term boyfriend, SG Wannabe‘s Kim Yong-jun.
There were also ’funny and sad‘ rumors because of the love line in the drama. Hwang Jung-eum mentioned that there were rumors that she had an affair with Choi Daniel, although filming was postponed due to the new flu at the time. Choi Daniel added, “There was a rumor that (Kim Yong-jun) hit me and that I had to take a break from filming because I was ’eye-popping and night-dark‘.”
When Hwang Jung-eum said, “Because of the rumors, (Kim Yong-jun) was suspicious,” Choi Daniel confessed, “When we actually met, he was kind and didn’t show it.” Hwang Jung-eum confessed, “It was a really groundless rumor. We‘ve never even met separately. When I got a call, I’d say, ‘I’m with Yong-jun right now‘ without you even asking, and then hang up.”
Following her ex-boyfriend Kim Yong-jun, her ex-husband was also summoned. Hwang Jung-eum married former professional golfer and businessman Lee Young-don in 2016 and had two sons, but they went through a divorce last year.
Choi Daniel said, “(My ex-husband) seemed kind. When I recalled, “We greeted each other and ate together. I felt busy back then,” Hwang Jung-eum said, “I was so busy. I thought it was business,” and smiled bitterly.
Hwang Jung-eum said, “When I first tried to get a divorce, I was so absent. I felt bad for the kids and sorry. But since I have a dad, I can meet them whenever I want,” and added, “My mom and dad got divorced too. I grew up in a divorced family, but my parents were very close and they were both very happy. I think it’s fortunate that they break up when they don’t get along. If I had grown up seeing them fight and fight, I think I would have been unhappy. I got divorced when I was young, so I’ve never seen that. When I had something to do, they would come together, so no one knew we were a divorced family. There may have been shortcomings, but they filled us with love.”
In an interview with the production crew, he confessed, “I grew up in my grandmother’s house since I was in the third grade of elementary school. There were shortcomings because of the divorce, but the love that each of my parents gave me doubled. I wasn’t afraid of divorce because you raised me well. It‘s not that I did well, but it’s a choice I made to be happy. I‘ll do my best for my children and work harder to be a great mother.”
Choi Daniel also confessed to the absence of his mother when he was young and expressed his gratitude towards his father. He said, “I don’t think I‘ve ever thought of myself as unhappy because I lacked something. It can be uncomfortable, but I think unhappiness and discomfort are different. When I was young, I remember my father warmly. I still remember those memories when I’m older.”
Choi Daniel‘s love life was also mentioned. He honestly said, “I think my love that made my heart race was about five years ago. It was the first and last time I thought about getting married. We dated for about a year and fought a lot. I don’t feel (my heart) moving well to the point where I wish I could go back to the time when I was passionate.” In response, Hwang Jung-eum actively suggested a blind date, saying, “There are many people around you who want you.”
