"It's not because I want to be a role model for someone, or because I can't forget the one I love. (omitted) I'm not trying to shoot terribly." (From the prologue of 'Alcohol Survivor')



The essay 'Alcohol Survivor' was published earlier this month after twists and turns.

In September 2013, when the dating rumors with Baek Yoon-sik surfaced, the author, who was called 'K Reporter', appeared in the world under the real name of Kwak Hye-jeong.

This is not the only thing that has changed.

The two, who made headlines every day with 'A 66-year-old middle-aged actor and a 36-year-old journalist's devotees', are no longer lovers, but have become 'male men' at the age of 75 and 45.



The author nailed it as 'I have no intention of sniping', but Baek Yoon-sik seems to have accepted it as a 'sniper'.

Baek Yoon-sik's side tried to block the publication by filing an injunction against the publication, but was unable to do so.

'Alcohol Survivor' is said to be printing a second print.



The author refers to Baek Yoon-sik as 'movie actor T', and deals with the process of parting from her first meeting with him in detail.

It overlaps a lot with what was already known in real time through entertainment articles.

Ki-ja Kwak first met Yoon-sik Baek in June 2012 as a 'fan' and fell in love with her.

Except for the age difference, it is the same as any other lover.



Due to the age difference, the two had time to prepare for a special second generation, and they met with strong opposition from their families, but it was all possible.

But the real problem came after the dating rumors broke out.

Baek Yoon-sik's long-standing relationship with a woman came out, and the family's opposition became fierce, and the relationship between the two came to an end.

Afterwards, Kwak Kwak made an extreme choice, and confessed that she also fell into alcoholism.



9 years ago or now, it is undeniable that the relationship between a man and a woman with a 30-year age difference was viewed as a scandal.

Therefore, the author's story that the 'alcohol survivor' was trying to tell in the media was easily overlooked.

I can't even open a diary that's been over a year, so why did the author re-upload a relationship that's been over for 9 years?

What was the story he wanted to convey in the book?



In this book, the author referred to the cure of alcoholism as 'disconnection' in one word.

That's right.

Medical staff agree that the only way to cure alcoholism is to 'stop drinking'.

The author focused on 'cutting off', the only way to get out of addiction, and to do so, he expressed his will to break with the past by pouring out all the pain and suffering he had suffered over the past 8 years through this book.



From Baek Yoon-sik's point of view, it must have been difficult to completely agree with the way his ex was healed.

Few people would 'cool' accept that her personal story would be revealed to the public just because her face was known.

Moreover, for an old actor who has been living as an actor for 52 years, it would be something that would make him feel like a lightning bolt.



With this book, at least the 'break' from the past, which the author wanted, became impossible.

In filing a publication-ban injunction lawsuit, Baek Yoon-sik countered by presenting evidence that the author had personally signed an agreement stating that he would not comment on personal matters, and the author sued Baek Yoon-sik for forgery of private documents.

Baek Yoon-sik's side sued the author on allegations of innocence.

The relationship between the two of them is over, but is the bad affair not over?
