It has been revealed that Dr. Oh Eun-young secretly played a key role in helping news anchor Kim Joo-ha navigate her divorce.

On January 19, a video titled “Anchor Kim Joo-ha’s Untold Stories” was uploaded to the YouTube channel ‘MKTV Kim Mi-kyung TV’. In the video, Kim Joo-ha candidly opened up about various aspects of her divorce, sharing personal experiences and reflections.

When asked about her emotional state at the time of the divorce, Kim Joo-ha remarked, “I was receiving advice that wasn’t quite a formal consultation from Director Oh Eun-young. Instead of visiting a hospital, we talked as friends—as sisters, really. In fact, I consistently spoke about (the divorce) with her, but from her perspective, it was always only my side of the story she heard. I didn't like the thought that this might cause her to interpret things solely from my viewpoint.”

She went on to say, “I could have made mistakes too or might have misunderstood something. That’s why I asked Director Oh Eun-young to have dinner, and during that meal, I showed her several years’ worth of messages exchanged with my ex-husband.”

Kim continued, “That way, she could judge the situation more objectively, right? She spent over 30 minutes reviewing the records—she really read through several years’ worth. After about 30 or 40 minutes, she told me, 'It would be better for you to separate.'”

Kim added, “That was the moment when I realized I was not just being subjective; objectively, separating was the right decision.”

Online users responded with supportive comments such as, “As someone who’s gone through a similar experience, I always root for Anchor Kim Joo-ha,” “It breaks my heart. I hope happiness finds you from now on,” and “It's hard to believe that someone as strong as Kim Joo-ha had to endure such hardship.”

Kim Joo-ha married Kang in 2004 and had two children. In 2013, she filed for divorce, citing Kang’s infidelity and physical abuse. In 2014, Kang was sentenced to eight months in prison, suspended for two years, on charges of assault. Their divorce was finalized in June 2016.
