Baek Il-seob, "Jolhon" (marriage separation) after 40 years of marriage, "I stay out overnight"

Actor Baek Il-seop reveals the inner workings of his 'graduated marriage' (jolhon) life, which he chose after ending 40 years of marriage. Baek Il-seop, in his 62nd year since debut, will appear on SBS 'Same Bed, Different Dreams Season 2 - You Are My Destiny' airing at 10:40 PM on the 21st, to share the background of becoming the first celebrity to decide on a graduated marriage.

A decision that did not bend despite seniors' dissuasion: "Why did you leave your children's mother?"

Baek Il-seop candidly revealed his feelings regarding the conflicts he experienced with his wife. He stated on TV Chosun's 'Dad and I' broadcast in 2024 that they held their wedding without truly knowing each other, and subsequently, the emotional rift deepened due to daily marital arguments. Because his personality and lifestyle did not match his wife's 'temperature,' he felt a sense of crisis, thinking, "I might die at this rate."

As the emotional knots accumulated during 40 years of marriage grew large enough to interfere with daily life, one day he suddenly left the house, saying, "I'm going out." At the time, Baek Il-seop's choice shocked even senior figures in the entertainment industry. He recalled receiving harsh scolding and dissuasion from close seniors such as Kang Bu-ja and the late Lee Soon-jae, asking, "Why did you leave your children's mother?"

Despite the dissuasion from those around him, Baek Il-seop did not change his choice. He is currently in his 11th year of graduated marriage. He expressed satisfaction with his free daily life, saying, "It feels like I'm just staying out overnight." In the SBS 'My Little Old Boy' broadcast on the 19th, he also confessed that he had lived suppressing his desire to escape due to saving face.
