"If I erase 10 years, I cease to exist"... A wife's confession as she stands in the divorce courtroom

In the process of bringing a 10-year marriage to an end, the emotional gap faced by the parties involved and the remaining regrets have been revealed. Their story, released through TV CHOSUN's 'We Got Divorced 2', goes beyond the simple process of separation and poses questions about an individual's identity and the etiquette of a relationship.

"I stood in the courtroom to find myself"... The indelible weight of 10 years

During the divorce trial process, the wife revealed the reason why she appeared in court herself. Despite being informed that she did not have to attend the courtroom, the wife kept her place to protect herself. The wife confessed, "If even I didn't go out, I felt like I would lose myself in those 10 years," stating that she felt as if her very existence would disappear when trying to erase the past 10 years.

The wife emphasized that she had never mentioned divorce during her past marriage. Although she did not speak of divorce for 10 years, she recalled the times she struggled to maintain happiness by clinging to her husband during the process of deciding on divorce this time. In particular, she conveyed the weight of a life lived enduring parental conflict for the happiness of their child, Min-su.

"Not appearing in the courtroom was ignoring our time"

The conflict between the two diverged sharply in their attitudes during the trial process. The wife expressed deep hurt regarding her husband's failure to appear in the courtroom. Regarding the husband's act of not attending, she stated, "It was ignoring all the time we loved, dated, and were married," revealing her desire to maintain etiquette toward each other until the end.

The husband also expressed apology for not coming to the courtroom and mentioned the situation where they were both too exhausted. The wife recalled her past days of living having given up everything, including cutting off contact with friends and acquaintances for the sake of the family, and attempted to settle the relationship by even conveying apologies toward each other's parents within the relationship that has now become that of strangers.

Everyday conversations faced at the end of the conflict

After the intense emotional clash, the two were seen having everyday conversations in a somewhat calmer atmosphere. Unlike their previous sharp appearance, the wife appearing with makeup and conversations such as worrying about meal menus show a strange silence that arrived after the storm-like conflict.

During the conversation, situations from their past visit to the United States or memories related to parents were mentioned, suggesting that the embers of conflict had not completely died out. The wife expressed her fundamental longing to be respected as a human being, regardless of whether the relationship is maintained, saying, "All I wanted was to be seen as a person."
