‘Graduated Marriage’ Baek Il-seop: “My wife’s funeral? I won’t go… I don’t want to hear the news and I’ve lost my affection.”

Baek Il-seop firmly drew the line that he did not want to think about his wife’s affairs anymore.

In the TV Chosun entertainment program ‘Dad and Me’ that aired on the 24th, Baek Il-seop and his daughter were depicted visiting a psychiatrist and receiving psychological counseling.

Baek Ji-eun, who received counseling first, confessed, “Actually, I don’t talk directly with my mom (about my dad).” At the same time, she said, “I don’t think my mom watches the broadcast,” and “I don’t think I would like to see someone who broke up on TV, but I want her to understand me, so I wanted my mom to watch this broadcast, but it seems like she doesn’t watch it.”

Regarding my mother’s health, she said, “It’s not very good. It’s been 10 years since I had surgery for cancer, but now there are signs of recurrence. My mother lives with my brother and sister, but she doesn’t eat well and is getting weaker, so I have to take time off from work.” “My mom doesn’t take care of me very well,” he said.

During Baek Il-seop’s subsequent consultation, the doctor said, “I heard your wife is sick right now, right?”, and Baek Il-seop said, “I saw that she was feeling better after the surgery,” and “I don’t know what happens after that,” as if it were his own business.

When asked, “Do you hear any news from your wife?” he waved his hand and said, “My daughter-in-law talks to me sometimes, but I don’t want to listen. I have no reason to think about my wife. It’s easier not to hear any news.”

When the doctor asked, “Isn’t there a time when it will be the end? Don’t you think about it?” Baek Il-seop answered without hesitation, “I don’t think about it.” He added indifferently, “I was responsible for my wife until I left home. After I came out, I have a son and a daughter, so I’ll take care of it now.”

When asked, “If your wife dies, won’t you go to the funeral?” Baek Il-seop showed a firm attitude, saying, “I won’t go. I won’t go. I came out with all my heart.”

Regarding why he chose ‘graduate marriage’ rather than divorce, he said, “I want to divorce, but the process is complicated. I have to go to court together. I could just live separately.”

The doctor then asked, “Do you know how your wife feels?” and Baek Il-seop said, “There is no need to think about it.”

He confessed, “Actually, I know that getting married after graduation wasn’t the best thing to do,” and “I did it because I was selfish and wanted to live on my own. My heart was so complicated that I thought it would be okay if I got out of that environment. I thought it would be better for both of us to get out.”
