"Jin Hyuk has faced severe heartbreak twice in a row due to cheating in relationships." -Lee Sang Min
Acknowledging the painful memories, Choi Jin Hyuk recounted,
"Yes, it was a profound shock. Experiencing betrayal again shortly after the first incident was incredibly tough for me. She seemed so kind and genuine that I never anticipated she could betray me."
The actor continued, revealing the extent of his disillusionment,
"She was always gentle and considerate in public. I simply couldn't believe it. We were together for nearly two years, which made it even harder for me to trust people, especially in relationships."

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

This isn't the first time Choi Jin Hyuk has openly discussed his romantic tribulations on television.
Last year, on SBS's "My Little Old Boy," he candidly shared details of his past heartbreak, revealing, "I had even contemplated marriage with her, but she betrayed me."

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?"
