Kim has been prominent in taking on physically demanding roles in shows such as Law of the jungle AND King of survival. Once married, his ex-wife managed Kim’s hard-earned money. Then, after the divorce proceedings and the court’s ruling on how to divide the assets, the ex-wife kept most of the money Kim earned. He is in a position to receive his share. Even after the divorce, the ex-wife asked Kim ₩30 KRW (about $0.02 USD) to disinherit and remove her adult daughter (from another marriage) from Kim’s family registry.

Kim’s management apologized on Kim’s behalf for “having to share such personal issues and raise concerns.”
Kim registered his marriage to his ex-wife, a non-celebrity woman 7 years his senior, in 2011. The two separated in November 2023, after living apart for a decade. It was on Channel A‘S Friends Documentary: Table for Four that Kim revealed, “I was afraid to reveal the divorce because I was afraid that letting go would bring down everything I’ve built since debut.”
Even though my ex-wife had brought a baby with her, I felt so alone. I have provided enough support to your son. Now that the little girl is an adult, I told her I would like to move on. Several times. But she treated them as silly complaints. Going to court was inevitable. Since she and I could not reach an agreement, I had no choice but to resort to the power of the law.
