Park Han Byul: Is there anything you’d like me to answer about my husband’s scandal? Something you haven’t been able to ask?

Hong In Kyu: Oh, wow. Can I really ask? For me, it’s important that you two are on good terms. Are you two doing OK?

Park Han Byul: That’s what you’ve been wanting to ask but couldn’t?

Hong In Kyu: Yeah… I was worried that you two might split up. But, thankfully, you two pulled through.

Park Han Byul: Yeah, you already know the answer.

Hong In Kyu: I figured you two have worked things out. You’re a smart woman.

Park Han Byul: (Gestures) I’m watching him, so…

This is not the first time Park’s apparent support for her husband has been publicized. During the arrest warrant evaluation, Park submitted a 3-page long handwritten letter appealing for her husband, giving her word as that he would “faithfully comply with his investigations without detention.”
