How Did Yoo Hye-joo's Husband's Infidelity Rumors Turn into 'Fake News'?

She expressed her disbelief, saying, "According to the rumors, my husband had an affair with a female flight attendant while I was pregnant with Yoo Joon. However, the flight attendant allegedly didn't know he was married and, upon finding out, asked people to spread the word out of anger." She continued, "The rumors then evolved into more detailed fake news, claiming that I knew about the affair but stayed for the sake of our child and forced my husband to resign as a condition for divorce."

Why Did Yoo Hye-joo Decide to Address the Infidelity Rumors?

Yoo Hye-joo explained, "I didn't feel the need to respond to baseless rumors, but I decided to speak out after friends and even my editor asked for clarification." She added, "We're too busy living our lives. Honestly, if Jo Ddang or I were having an affair, we wouldn't be able to produce content like this. And would I really be someone who endures such a situation? It's ridiculous to even talk about it," firmly denying the rumors.

Yoo Hye-joo, a YouTuber known from 'Ulzzang Generation,' married Jo Jung-yeon, a former Korean Air purser, who is four years her senior, in 2019. They welcomed their first child, Yoo Joon, four years later. Last December, she announced her second pregnancy on social media and is expecting to give birth in July.
