For anyone confused, yes, that's just a flashback to the past, he didn't cheat on Hyeonseon here.
Now I need to rant. FUCK CHEATERS!! Especially those with families. Idc if they're closeted, idc if they can't come out, just stay fucking celibate if you're already with somebody else!!! Unless your partner has agreed to it, FUCK THEM. YES, there are exceptions to cheaters actually showing remorse and atoning for their shitty choices, but it's not their partners' responsibility to forgive them or give them another chance. Take that chance ALONE or with somebody else who can trust you for that! Ughhhhhhhhh that's why I hate hookups too, everybody be lying and cheating out there.
Anyway.... Yeorum has been quite the daredevil hooking up with strangers since he was a minor (probably) in Korea (notice the room number 19 just as he's being asked his age and says "21"? lol). It's obvious that he wanted some control over his life and while it hasn't been a disaster for him, he definitely skipped quite a few steps in age-appropriate development so he's had to resort to this false sense of maturity and autonomy while avoiding the deepest issues in his life. Now that he's in an actual committed relationship though, he can't avoid facing that any longer and I can see his panicking. It's not gonna be easy for him to settle things with his family and himself
