Actress Hwang Jeong-eum (39) has been making headlines since it was revealed that she is filing for divorce from her husband, professional golfer and businessman Lee Young-don, but she is carrying out her schedule without a hitch.
According to the entertainment industry on the 22nd, Hwang Jung-eum is filming a poster for the new SBS drama 'Seven Resurrection' somewhere in Seoul on this day. Although it was revealed that Hwang Jung-eum is in divorce proceedings, she is proceeding with her pre-scheduled schedule without a hitch. The filming of ‘Resurrection of the Seven’ will also be attended as scheduled.
‘Resurrection of the Seven’ is the season 2 drama of ‘Escape of the Seven’, which aired in September of last year. The game of revenge is reset, and the seven characters once again portray a desperate and intense collaboration. Following 'Escape of the Seven', Hwang Jung-eum played the same character, Geum Ra-hee, in 'The Resurrection of the Seven'. ‘Resurrection of the Seven’ will premiere on March 29th.
On this day, Hwang Jung-eum's agency, Y1 Entertainment, told Ten Asia, "After careful consideration, Hwang Jung-eum has decided that it is no longer possible to maintain the 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 personal matter." “He said. He continued, “We sincerely ask you to refrain from creating speculative rumors and provocative reports that will damage the reputation of the parties involved and their children.”
This is not the first time there has been news of Hwang Jung-eum's divorce. Previously, Hwang Jung-eum and Lee Young-don submitted an application for divorce mediation in September 2020 and experienced the crisis of breakup once. About 10 months later, in July 2021, the couple announced their reunion, and eight months later, they gave birth to their second son. They got married in February 2016 and have two sons.
Regarding Hwang Jung-eum's divorce, some people are saying, "Something is going to explode." The day before the divorce was reported, Hwang Jung-eum posted several photos of her husband on her SNS, giving off a meaningful atmosphere. In the photo, Lee Young-don was with his son, or a filter was used, making him look somewhat comical.
Commenting on this photo, Hwang Jung-eum commented, "My husband is so kind and beautiful. This is my husband, Lee Young-don, who married me and had a very busy and fun life. He must have been very busy during this time, but now I can enjoy it comfortably." In addition, he wrote, "My brother was so cute during his Crayon Shinchan era. On a trip down memory lane," and "When my brother got sick when he got Type A infection."
Afterwards, when a netizen who appeared to be an acquaintance of the post commented, “Youngdon can’t contact me,” he responded, “It’s worth it,” and “I’m going to ramble because there’s a lot at stake right now,” creating an unusual atmosphere.
