A story has been shared about a wife who discovered that her husband was cheating while pretending to be single at a dance academy he secretly attended.

YTN Radio's 'Attorney Jo Inseop's Counseling Center' revealed on the 2nd the story of a reporter A, whose husband attended a dance academy while pretending to be unmarried. According to the story, A met her husband through a classical music club and got married. At the time, A was emotionally exhausted from being bullied by her workplace superior and found comfort in her husband, who kindly listened to her concerns. After marriage, she became busy and even forgot her hobbies. She later found out that her husband had been attending a dance academy for six months after watching the movie 'Shall We Dance.'

The husband did not disclose that he was attending the academy and only said he was frequently working late. A tried to understand his hobby, but was deeply shocked after seeing photos from a gathering at the academy on his phone. In the photos, her husband was sharing a close love shot and drinking beer with another woman. When A confronted him, her husband confessed that the people at the academy did not know he was married. Moreover, the messages exchanged between her husband and the woman were beyond what could be considered just fellow students at the academy. Their conversations suggested a rather deep relationship. The husband begged for forgiveness, promising to give all his assets if such an incident happened again, but A expressed her desire to divorce and also wanted to sue the woman involved.

Attorney Kim Soyeon from Shinsegye Law Firm, who heard the story, said, "You can submit the conversation records between the husband and the other woman as evidence of the affair," and added, "It is also advisable to record the husband's confession of infidelity separately and submit it to the court." She further advised, "The key point in a lawsuit for consolation money against the other woman is whether she knew the spouse was married and still engaged in an illicit relationship. In this case, it is necessary to verify whether the other woman truly did not know the husband was married or if that was just an excuse."

Attorney Kim also stated, "If the other party actively deceived by claiming not to be married or behaved in a way that made the other person mistakenly believe so, it can be seen as a violation of sexual self-determination rights," adding, "In such cases, the woman can actually claim damages for illegal acts infringing on sexual self-determination rights against the husband."

Netizens who heard the news responded with comments such as "The husband was determined to cheat," "The other woman might have been deceived too, so a thorough investigation is needed," and "Hope they get divorced soon."
