Hwang Jung Eum, a South Korean singer and actress who became well-known for the sitcom “High Kick Through the Roof,” filed a divorce against her husband.
The information was released one day after Hwang Jung Eum uploaded a bizarre picture of her spouse on Instagram. Jung Eum captioned each photo with a description of her spouse.
In one post she wrote: “My loving husband is so beautiful. This is my husband, Lee Young Don, who has been so busy enjoying himself since getting married to me. You’ve been so busy until now, now just enjoy yourself comfortably.”
Despite the messages’ innocent appearance, she made hints about her husband’s extramarital affairs.
The 39-year-old actress’ agency, Y1 Entertainment, has now issued an official statement to refute these reports.
“After much deliberation, Hwang Jung-eum decided that it is no longer possible to maintain her marriage and is in the process of filing for divorce. Please understand that details such as the reason for divorce cannot be disclosed as it is a private matter. In addition, we earnestly ask you to refrain from creating speculative rumors and provocative reports that will damage the reputation of the actress and her children,” the statement reads.
In 2016, businessman and former professional golfer Lee Young-don and Jung-eum got married. The following August, their first son was born. Despite her September 2020 divorce filing, the pair healed through mediation and reunited in July 2021. They brought their second son into the world in 2022.
With the K-pop girl group Sugar, Jung-eum had her professional debut in 2002. However, she quit the group in 2004 to focus on her solo career. She later appeared on programs like Love Letter. In 2007, she made her television acting debut in the series “The Person I Love.”
