Baek Il-seob has revealed the story of being scolded by Kang Boo-ja and Lee Soon-jae after his marriage graduation, or jolhon.
On the July 21 broadcast of the SBS program "You're my destiny," actor Baek Il-seob, the first celebrity to graduate from marriage, appeared as a special MC.
During the broadcast, Baek, who has been enjoying a single life for 11 years as the first celebrity to undergo a marriage graduation, drew attention. Recalling his younger days as a symbol of a popular man, he laughed and said, "I was popular back in the 60s."
Now enjoying a flamboyant single life, he said, "I don't like the term 'jolhon' because I hear it too much. I don't like hearing it repeatedly. I think of it as living out after leaving a mark at home. Calling it 'jolhon' feels a bit impolite."
Regarding being scolded by Kang Boo-ja after his marriage graduation, Baek said, "Kang Boo-ja knows my ex-wife well and visited our house often, so she scolded me. The late Lee Soon-jae also did. I was scolded a lot by both of them after my marriage graduation. But I couldn't argue with my elders, so I just took it."
To this, Kim Gura added, "Still, it means he has no intention of going back. He has adapted, so why would he go back?" which brought laughter.
