My first love appeared wearing a suit, only to find out he was a married man.

Twenty-Seven, the Double Life of a First Love Appearing in a Suit
Actress Hwang Seok-jeong has opened up about a painful memory from her past that remains a knot in her heart. On the SBS entertainment program 'My Little Old Boy' (hereafter referred to as 'My Little Old Boy') broadcast on the 12th, Hwang visited a detective agency that handles divorce and infidelity cases to reveal her shocking experience with her first love.
Hwang recalled meeting her first love at the relatively late age of twenty-six or twenty-seven. At the time, because it was her first love, everything was innocent and cautious. However, she revealed that she felt a strong, strange intuition the moment the man appeared dressed sharply in a suit and said he would come late in the evening because he had something to do. As it turned out, the man had actually attended a wedding after his meeting with Hwang that day.
Hwang instinctively sensed that the man's behavior was different from usual. She mentioned that it was suspicious how he would take calls outside or smile foolishly while looking at other women. "Don't women have intuition?" she said, adding that after she caught onto the suspicious circumstances and subtly tested him, she became certain there was a woman problem when she saw him looking startled and flustered.
Two-Timing Even a Cherished Junior, the Full Story of a Twisted Betrayal
The betrayal did not end there. At the time, Hwang was active in theater and had been devotedly caring for a junior colleague who was struggling with poor health. During the time she spent looking after the junior—even giving them massages—an unbelievable truth was revealed. The man was dating not only Hwang but also the junior she cherished at the same time. His deceptive behavior continued as he met both Hwang and the junior while being a married man.
Ultimately, Hwang decided to break up. However, the man's attitude was shameless. When she notified him of the breakup, he held onto her, claiming he would clean things up with his wife and come back. But the facts revealed later were even more devastating. To hide his relationship with Hwang from his wife, the man lied, saying, "I'm only seeing her because Hwang is threatening to kill herself." Hwang expressed her pain at the time, saying, "Those people pretend to be good, but it was all a lie. I felt like I had been to the very end of hell."
She added that during this process, the man revealed his true colors and even showed violent tendencies. Hwang shared her bitter feelings, stating that she hasn't been able to have a proper romantic relationship since this shocking incident.
The Divergent Romance Horrors of Entertainment Colleagues
In the broadcast, besides Hwang Seok-jeong, actors Choi Jin-hyuk, comedian Park Semi, and Jo Jin-se appeared together to share their own romantic dark histories. Choi Jin-hyuk also built empathy by confessing a decisive betrayal he experienced in his 30s. He revealed that he was so close to his girlfriend in the past that they shared her house password, but one day when he went to her house, the password had been changed and the girlfriend had disappeared.
Choi explained the situation, saying his girlfriend had lied to him that she was at home while she was actually out having fun, and she only confessed the truth after he questioned her. He confessed that he had great difficulty continuing relationships afterward due to this experience.
Park Semi's story was no less intense. Park revealed that she had continued her relationship with a boyfriend by giving him about 500,000 to 600,000 won every month, only to later find out that the money was used for travel expenses for the boyfriend and the woman he was having an affair with. She even witnessed her boyfriend contacting the person he was cheating with through his glasses at a PC cafe. Park revealed a turbulent romantic history, including meeting him again two years after breaking up, which drew a stinging reaction from Seo Jang-hoon, who said she is "the type to twist her own fate." She also shared an anecdote about an ex-boyfriend who lied, saying "I have cancer," when he wanted to break up, drawing laughter.
