Acknowledging the painful memories, Choi Jin Hyuk recounted,

Adding his perspective to the conversation, co-host Tak Jae Hoon empathized with Choi Jin Hyuk's struggles.

Reflecting on the deception he faced, Choi Jin Hyuk recounted with a wry smile.
"This is the first time I've spoken about it publicly, but she completely betrayed me. It's been challenging for me to open up to anyone romantically since. It turns out, I was the 'other guy'; she had a boyfriend all along. We dated for over a year, and during that time, I never knew I wasn't her main partner. It's unbelievable, isn't it?"
