Broadcaster Seo Jang-hoon scolded former soccer player Kang Ji-yong for threatening his wife with his life.
The episode of JTBC's ‘Divorce Reflection Camp’ aired on the 27th, featuring the household investigation of the couple Kang Ji-yong and Lee Da-eun.
On this day, former soccer player Kang Ji-yong attracted attention by appearing on ‘Divorce Reflection Camp’. Kang Ji-yong said, "I joined Pohang Steelers in 2009 and played for Busan IPark, Bucheon FC, and Gangwon FC." Jin Tae-hyun commented, "I like soccer, so I've seen Kang Ji-yong play in matches."
Kang Ji-yong shocked viewers by constantly fighting with Lee Da-eun over financial issues. He stated, "My wish is to die in my sleep. I have such a strong desire to die that I have everything prepared in the car. We've fought so much that I almost met with a divorce lawyer to write a contract. But because of the child, I just couldn't do it. Currently, my intention to divorce is 100%."
Lee Da-eun shared, "When my husband downloaded an app to pay taxes, he was surprised to find out that the money I earned before marriage was about 500 million won (after tax)." Kang Ji-yong replied, "From the time I joined the pros until I went to the military, my bank account was with my dad. He would send me pocket money."
Lee Da-eun continued, "My husband said he would somehow get money from his in-laws until I was pregnant, but in the end, we didn't receive a single penny. The house deposit was taken out as a jeonse loan, and I covered the costs of moving, childbirth, and hospitalization. My husband said he would get it somehow, but now he says, 'How can I get money when my parents say they have none?'"
She added, "My in-laws live in a 50-pyeong apartment. When my husband asked them to reduce the size of the house to get some money, they said, 'We can't sell it.' My mother-in-law asked my husband, 'Is it your dream for your father to live in a big house? Do you want to shatter that dream?' I found it absurd. I wondered if my son's life didn't matter to them because of their own dreams."
Hearing this, Seo Jang-hoon pointed out, "If your father managed the money, then your husband's money must have definitely gone into family matters. So you can say that 11 years' worth of salary has disappeared. You've been deceived by your parents."
Meanwhile, Kang Ji-yong also threatened his pregnant wife Lee Da-eun with his life. Lee Da-eun recounted, "When my husband was under financial stress and couldn't handle it, he would say things like, 'I don't want to live.' He said that when I was pregnant. After I gave birth, less than 100 days later, he got angry and hung out of the 35th-floor window. He was hanging there saying, 'Look straight,' and it was such a shock."
Seo Jang-hoon admonished, "You bastard. Are you threatening to die? Is someone who has loved sports for so long that mentally weak? How would you feel if your wife was hanging there? Is there anything scarier than that in the world?"
