As it is known that actress Hwang Jeong-eum (39) is filing for divorce from her husband, professional golfer and businessman Lee Young-don, comments she made in the past on the SBS entertainment program 'My Little Old Boy' are being reexamined.
Hwang Jung-eum appeared on 'My Little Old Boy' on October 22 last year and shared the moment she first met her husband Lee Young-don, a professional golfer-turned-businessman, and the story behind their reunion. Hwang Jung-eum, who got married after 10 months of dating and has been married for 8 years, said about the reason why she decided to get married so quickly, "I looked great from head to toe because I was wearing a beanbag."
Hwang Jung-eum also said about overcoming the crisis and reuniting after announcing the news of divorce mediation in 2020, "What was shocking was that when I told them not to be surprised because there would be a divorce article tomorrow in the family chat room, my father said, 'I'm more worried about this Seo-bang' and said he was more worried about my husband than me. “I was worried,” he said, drawing attention.
In response, Seo Jang-hoon suggested, "After Wang-sik and Kang-sik, how about Wang-soon for your daughter?" Hwang Jeong-eum said, "My nickname is Wang-sun. My nickname has been Hwang-sun since I was dating my husband." She added, "When I said that if I had a daughter, I would call her Wang-sun, my mother said, “I asked if we were a frog family,” he said with a laugh.
On the 22nd, 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 the divorce cannot be disclosed as it is a personal matter." “I will give it to you,” 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.”
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.
