In the footage, Lee recounted her marriage to LJ, stating, "I still think, 'Why did I do that?' We weren't rushing into marriage; we truly loved each other." She added, "He treated me so well back then. I completely fell for that warmth." Lee also reflected on their divorce, attributing it to incompatibility, saying, "When you get divorced, it's because things don't match. Our minds didn't match, and our bodies didn't match either."

He treated me so well back then. I completely fell for that warmth.

Lee further described the intense stress after the separation, which led to panic disorder after six months of exercising and drinking. "I thought, 'Why did I get married and end up like this?' but in the end, I was the only one who lost," she said, indicating she is still overcoming it.

When you get divorced, it's because things don't match. Our minds didn't match, and our bodies didn't match either.

Following the video's release, LJ publicly criticized Shin Jung-hwan on social media, sending messages containing profanity and threats. LJ and Lee Sun-jung married in 2012 after dating for 45 days but divorced amicably about two and a half months later, citing personality differences. The edits to the video were made after LJ's strong reaction.
