Overview
Daniel received a photo over Messenger showing divorce papers submitted on February 12, 2020, with his wife's family name obscured, ending his nearly two-year marriage.
Daniel attributed the end of the marriage to time spent on Discord, lack of shared interests, and language barriers rather than previous infidelity.
To demonstrate the separation was genuine, Daniel destroyed his two Japanese spouse visa cards on camera, cutting both his 2018 card and an active card expiring in November in half.
Daniel displayed grocery purchases totaling twenty-two thousand won, featuring discount yogurt, mushrooms, pork, onion ring snacks, and instant Korean army stew on Cooking with Daniel.
