Teen Mother Do Ji-hye Shares Turbulent Journey on 'High School Mom and Dad'

In the upcoming episode of MBN's High School Mom and Dad (어른들은 모르는 고딩엄빠5), airing on November 27 at 10:20 PM, 19-year-old mother Do Ji-hye reveals the challenges she faced during her tumultuous journey to motherhood. She shares that it took her three years to finalize her divorce because her ex-husband went missing and refused to cooperate.

Do Ji-hye, who became a mother at 19, opens up about her life raising her first-grade son. She recounts her story through a reenactment, explaining that at 18, she was lost and briefly lived with a friend. During this time, she met an older man, and they began living together after three months. However, their relationship took a turn when her parents found out, leading her to return home. Despite this, she continued dating him and became pregnant at 19. After a failed meeting between their families, her boyfriend disappeared.

Months later, when he contacted her again and learned they were having a son, he cut off communication once more. Although he returned after the birth to reconcile, their relationship deteriorated again due to conflicts while living with her family, prompting him to vanish once more.

After the reenactment, the show shifts to Do Ji-hye's current life with her son. During a late-night meeting with a long-time friend, she discusses her ex-husband, only to learn from her friend that he may have cheated during their marriage. This revelation leads her to check his social media, where she discovers infidelity, leaving her emotional. Determined to raise her son well, she expresses her desire to take legal action against the woman involved with her ex-husband, stating, "While we struggle, I see them traveling abroad together, and it makes me want to sue."

Legal expert Lee In-cheol, after reviewing the evidence, confirms that a lawsuit against the mistress is feasible. However, Do Ji-hye expresses her frustration, stating, "What angers me more is that he cheated while refusing to finalize our divorce. It took three years just to get divorced."

A few days later, Do Ji-hye enjoys a late-night snack with her father, who visits her home. After her son goes to bed, she confides in her father about wanting to change her son's last name, but she feels helpless since she needs her ex-husband's consent, which is impossible due to his disappearance. In a surprising turn, her father attempts to contact her ex-in-laws, but the response leaves everyone in the studio stunned.

Viewers can find out how Do Ji-hye's ex-husband's family reacts and whether she can change her son's last name in the November 27 episode of High School Mom and Dad (어른들은 모르는 고딩엄빠5).
