‘High school mom’ Choi Ji-hye confesses the surprising story of “I‘m cohabiting with my fourth boyfriend after 4 months of divorcing my third husband”.
In episode 21 of MBN’s ‘High School Mom Pa 5 That Adults Don‘t Know (hereafter ‘High School Mom Pa 5’)’, which airs at 10:20 PM on the 13th (Wednesday), Choi Ji-hye, who became a mother at the age of 18, reveals, “After three total marriages all failed, I’m cohabiting with my fourth boyfriend”. She then confesses her worries, “I‘m worried because my first son keeps going astray”.
First, Choi Ji-hye honestly tells the story of her turbulent life, including giving birth to her first son at the age of 18 and going through two marriages and divorces, through the reenactment drama. After that, she appeared in the studio herself and confessed to the 3MCs Park Mi-sun, Seo Jang-hoon, and In Kyo-jin, “I had a child with my third boyfriend and got married, but I ended up getting divorced,” causing a second shock. Seo Jang-hoon, who heard this, said, “That’s really amazing,” and bitterly criticized, “If you‘ve experienced the pain of (divorce) three times, you should have taken your time. Why did you rush into living together?” Choi Ji-hye said, “I did it because I didn’t want to be separated from my boyfriend,” and explained(?), “Fortunately, my current boyfriend is the complete opposite of my ex-husbands, and he is sincere and works hard at his job.”
While everyone is speechless at the eventful life story of ‘all-time gold digger’ Choi Ji-hye, she reveals her daily life with her three children by different fathers through three marriages, as well as her fourth boyfriend whom she started living with four months after her divorce. As Ji-hye Choi explained, her fourth boyfriend, unlike Ji-hye Choi who sleeps in late, wakes up early and helps her two daughters get ready for school and daycare. On the other hand, her eldest son, a middle school student, is lying in the living room and not moving, which raises concerns. Ji-hye Choi said, “My eldest son has been causing a lot of accidents lately. He ran away from home recently. The small room used to be his room, but when he ran away, I gave that room to my daughter. That’s why my son is living in the living room.”
After a while, when her middle school son is the last to go to school, Ji-hye Choi and her boyfriend go to work together. After working hard and getting home, Ji-hye Choi has a meal with her boyfriend and two daughters when her father comes home with a late-night snack. However, she becomes worried when her eldest son doesn’t come home until late at night, and just then, he comes home. Here, Choi Ji-hye immediately points out her son‘s late return home, and the son, hurt by his mother’s scolding, leaves home again. Seo Jang-hoon, who was watching Choi Ji-hye and her mother in a precarious situation, says, “Even if I were the eldest son, I think I would leave home,” and worries about his son instead.
Attention is focused on why Choi Ji-hye‘s eldest son is wandering and whether Choi Ji-hye will be able to resolve the conflict with her son. The turbulent life story and worries of ‘all-time gold digger’ Choi Ji-hye, as well as the solutions to them, can be seen in episode 21 of MBN’s ‘High School Dating Crush 5 That Adults Don‘t Know’, which airs on Wednesday, the 13th at 10:20 PM.
