Lawyer Noh Jong-eon, A's legal representative who was involved in the alleged affair with Choi Jeong-won, said on the 22nd that the Seoul High Court reversed the first trial ruling on the 19th, judging that the relationship between Choi Jeong-won and her husband B did not constitute cheating and that the responsibility for the breakdown of the marriage lies in her husband's coercive attitude.
Earlier, the first trial court ruled that the marriage between A and B broke down due to the cheating of A and Choi Jeong-won. However, it is difficult for the appellate court to admit that A and Choi Jeong-won cheated as acts that were not faithful to their duty of conciliation beyond a simple close relationship, or that this resulted in the breakdown of the marriage relationship. Rather, in the process of resolving the conflict caused by this, B continued to be coercive toward A and others, leading to the breakdown of the marriage relationship."
After the judgment of the first trial, A had an immeasurable time of pain under the social stigma of being an affair woman. As a result, my health deteriorated seriously, making it difficult to continue my work life" he vented.
B filed a compensation suit against Choi Jeong-won in 2023, claiming that Choi Jung-won and A had an inappropriate relationship since December 2022. Choi Jeong-won was a neighborhood brother who even knew his family" and sued B on charges of defamation teachers, threats, insults, and violations of the law on the promotion of the use of information and communication networks and information protection. B filed a complaint against Choi Jeong-won for defamation, but the police cleared both of them.
Choi Jung-won debuted as a male duo UN in 2000 and has been an actor since 2006.
