Although Hong Jin-kyung wanted to avoid making a divorce announcement as much as possible, she decided it was better to explain it directly after reporters learned about the matter. Following this, Hong Jin-kyung announced her divorce on Jeong Seon-hee's YouTube channel, where Jeong had long followed her dating and marriage history.
In the the 21st broadcast of KBS2 'Problem Children Are Here' episode 325, Jeong Seon-hee and Kim Ji-seon appeared and showcased their wit.
That day, Kim Sook mentioned the close friendship between Hong Jin-kyung and Jeong Seon-hee, saying, "I envy the friendship between Jin-kyung and Unnie," and added, "We filmed a YouTube video together, and it surpassed 1.2 million views."
In response, Jeong Seon-hee explained, "I had just started my YouTube channel and hadn't promoted it much," adding, "Hong Jin-kyung called me first and said she wanted to share something on the channel."
Kim Sook commented on the two women's relationship, saying, "Since we've been giving life advice for so long, it seems natural that she came to me."
At this point, Hong Jin-kyung honestly opened up about her feelings at the time surrounding the divorce announcement.
Hong Jin-kyung said, "I wanted to avoid making a divorce announcement as much as possible," but added, "However, the reporters found out anyway. I thought it would be better for me to explain it well rather than letting others spread rumors."
There was a long-standing connection between Hong Jin-kyung and Jeong Seon-hee that led Hong to choose Jeong.
Hong Jin-kyung said, "Even when I was dating, I always met with Rael's dad," adding, "Unnie has always been part of our history."
In response, Jeong Seon-hee explained, "I didn't just insert myself without reading the room; I also had a boyfriend at the time, so we went on double dates," which drew laughter.
Hong Jin-kyung also reported that Jeong Seon-hee's boyfriend and her ex-husband still maintain a friendly relationship.
Continuing, Hong Jin-kyung added, "I wanted to share this more comfortably by talking to Unnie rather than speaking alone in loneliness."
Song Eun-i supported Hong Jin-kyung's choice.
Song Eun-i said, "I thought it was a very good decision," adding, "It wasn't just anyone; if it was Unnie Jeong Seon-hee's channel, I felt most reassured."

Jin-kyung also revealed her trust in Jeong Seon-hee by saying, "I couldn't think of anyone else but Unnie."
Jeong Seon-hee confessed that she was grateful for Hong Jin-kyung's call.
Jeong Seon-hee said, "(Hong Jin-kyung) didn't have me around during the time it took to make such a decision," and added, "I was so focused on my own personal recovery that I couldn't keep up with Jin-kyung's daily life."
She continued, "But Jin-kyung shared that burden. I felt she considered our history important. I was grateful," bringing tears to her eyes.
