Actor Lee Dong-gun has been offered a role on JTBC’s “Divorce Consideration Camp” and is reviewing the proposal, according to reports. If he joins, he is expected to fill the spot left by actor Jin Tae-hyun.
DongA.com reported on the 29th that Lee was initially said to have completed the show’s first recording last Saturday, but it was later confirmed he has only been approached to appear.
His agency, W Plus Entertainment, said, “It is true he received an offer to appear on ‘Divorce Consideration Camp,’” adding, “He is considering it.”
The program previously featured Jin and actor Park Ha-sun as “home investigators,” a supporting role in which they represented couples’ perspectives, showed empathy and offered blunt advice alongside the show’s panel.
On the 27th, the show announced Jin’s departure, saying, “Jin Tae-hyun will be leaving the program,” and calling it a decision made “to bring change” after about two years on the show since 2024.
Jin explained his exit the next day on social media. In a handwritten letter, he said, “There is still a lot of footage left to air, but since the article came out first, I’m saying goodbye in advance.” He added that he heard the production team’s explanation and decision through his manager and that he left the program after his final recording in early April.
“My experience is limited and subjective, so I always wondered whether it was helpful,” he wrote. “Though I was lacking, I approached it with more sincerity than any other shoot.” He also thanked Seo Jang-hoon, saying he was grateful to “Jang-hoon hyung” for recommending him to join.
Jin added that he would now live with his wife even more as an “encouragement-for-marriage couple,” with gratitude and love.
Seo and Park will remain on the show.
Lee married actor Jo Yoon-hee in 2017 and they had a daughter, but they divorced by mutual agreement in 2020. He has since pursued various activities, including running a cafe on Jeju Island.
“Divorce Consideration Camp” airs Thursdays at 10:30 p.m.
