Comedian Park Se-mi recently shared a painful past relationship experience on television, detailing how an ex-boyfriend allegedly used money she provided for him to travel abroad with another woman. The candid revelations came during an episode of the SBS variety show ‘My Little Old Boy’ (‘Mi-u-sae’), which aired on December 12th.
Past Relationship Heartbreak Revealed
During the broadcast, Park Se-mi recounted a relationship from her early twenties. She explained that her then-boyfriend frequently asked for money, which she provided, believing it was for his part-time job expenses. “He would ask for money for his part-time work. I gave him about 500,000 to 600,000 won every month,” Park Se-mi stated.
The comedian was later shocked to discover the true purpose of the funds. “I later found out that he used that money to go on a trip abroad with a girlfriend he was cheating on me with,” she revealed, a wry smile accompanying the memory. At the time, she was young and believed that international calls wouldn’t work in Southeast Asia, so she simply waited for his return without contacting him.
Discovering the Betrayal
Park Se-mi mentioned that she dated this individual for approximately three years. She also shared the specific moment she realized he was unfaithful. “We were at a PC bang together. Big glasses were trendy back then. I briefly glanced at his phone, and I saw a clear red heart symbol on the lens of his glasses,” she explained.
The comedian described her reaction to this discovery. “I thought I would scream and get angry when I caught him cheating, but instead, my hands trembled as I held the phone. I felt such a sense of betrayal,” she recalled, conveying the shock she experienced.
Further Revelations and Past Encounters
The story took an even more surprising turn as Park Se-mi disclosed that she reconnected with the same man years later. “We met again later. Two years later, he apologized, and we started dating again,” she confessed. Observing this, fellow cast member Seo Jang-hoon commented, “That’s a classic case of ‘tying your own noose,'” implying she repeated a mistake.
A Deceptive Ex-Boyfriend
Park Se-mi also recounted another bewildering dating experience involving a man who lied about his health. “I once dated a man who lied,” she said. “He must have really wanted to break up with me. While drinking with me, he told me, ‘I have stomach cancer.'”
However, the comedian added a darkly humorous twist to this story. “He’s apparently living very well now, with children, and hasn’t had any health issues since,” she shared, concluding with another bittersweet smile.
These personal anecdotes offered viewers a glimpse into Park Se-mi’s past romantic entanglements, highlighting themes of betrayal, deception, and resilience.
