Table, 27: Former football player Kang Ji-yong has left his wife with trauma due to threats of extreme choices and violent behavior. On the 27th, JTBC’s variety program “Divorce Consideration Camp” featured Kang Ji-yong, a former football player married for three years, appearing with his wife Lee Da-eun as the 9th couple.
In the observational video revealed that day, Kang Ji-yong argued with his wife about money and used shocking profanities towards her, including terms like “You’re really XX,” “Devil-like X,” “Take off your mask, you’re XX annoying,” “Harsh X,” “Clueless X,” “XX-like X.”
Table, continued: His wife tearfully recounted, “About 100 days after giving birth, my husband was talking to me and then hung from the outer ledge of our 35th-floor apartment saying, ‘Look at me straight, XXX.’ It has left me with deep trauma.” She further shared that after that day, the threats of extreme actions became a habit. “One day, he was holding our child and looking out the window. I hit him when his eyes wandered, and he pushed me away. That’s a trauma for me, but it feels like my husband doesn’t realize it.”
Seo Jang-hoon advised Kang Ji-yong: “You need to distance yourself from your family of origin and focus on living well as a trio with your wife and daughter. Your love for your family of origin is unreasonably large. Some distance is necessary, but it seems to be difficult for you. It seems you have done all the filial piety you can in this lifetime. If you can’t distance yourself from your family of origin, maybe it’s better for this couple to part ways.”
Subsequently, Kang Ji-yong reflected: “I thought I was living kindly, but I seem to have been a bad husband, a bad dad. I have reflected on myself.”
