Choi Yeo-jin Addresses Infidelity Rumors on 'Same Bed, Different Dreams 2'

In the latest episode of SBS's reality show Same Bed, Different Dreams 2 (동상이몽 시즌2-너는 내 운명), Choi Yeo-jin tearfully clarified misunderstandings and suspicions surrounding her relationship. During the broadcast on March 31, 2025, she introduced her fiancé, a 7-year-older divorcee, expressing her affection by stating, "He is the complete opposite of my physical ideal, but he is my perfect match on the inside." Previously, she described him as a vital presence in her life, likening him to a 'tall uncle' due to their age difference.

When asked about their pet names for each other, her fiancé playfully called her "puppy," while Choi revealed that she had recently changed her term of endearment for him from "octopus" to "my love," which brought laughter to the conversation.

The couple, who transitioned from a teacher-student relationship in water sports to romantic partners a year ago, faced skepticism from those around them. Choi humorously dismissed the idea of being infatuated, stating that he is not her usual type. She shared, "I had a very specific ideal, but meeting him made me realize that my true ideal is not about looks but about inner qualities, including a good sense of humor."

Choi described her fiancé as a hardworking and warm person who consistently prioritizes her needs, making her feel truly loved. She acknowledged the importance of inner qualities in a partner, saying, "I don't think there is anyone else who matches me as well as he does."

However, the episode also addressed various rumors regarding their relationship, particularly due to her fiancé's previous appearance on tvN's On and Off (온앤오프) in 2020, where he was shown with his ex-wife. Choi referred to them as "mom and dad" during the show, indicating a close relationship.

In a surprising twist, a phone call with her fiancé's ex-wife was featured, where they discussed receiving kimchi and the ex-wife's support amid the rumors. The ex-wife mentioned that her sibling had reported a YouTube account spreading false information about Choi, expressing sympathy for her situation. Choi admitted to feeling upset about the rumors, and the ex-wife reassured her, stating, "I am a witness to their past, and I support you."

The emotional exchange led Choi to shed tears, highlighting the complexities of navigating public scrutiny in her relationship.
