Seo In-young Opens Up About Divorce on YouTube After Two Years
Singer Seo In-young has captured attention by candidly discussing her feelings about her divorce two years later on YouTube.
On the 26th, the YouTube channel 'Reformed Seo In-young' released a video titled 'Seo In-young Reads Hate Comments After 10 Years (Truth and Lies).' In the video, Seo In-young, sporting a bold smoky makeup and a mini skirt, engaged in a segment reading negative comments.
Appearing noticeably slimmer, Seo In-young surprised viewers. When asked by the production team, "We saw you looking a bit chubby on social media, how much weight did you lose?" she replied, "I lost 10kg. Even I thought my face looked a bit extreme back then," and laughed heartily. She further explained her return to the spotlight, saying, "I pondered a lot about how to make a comeback whenever a broadcast opportunity arose. I thought being honest was my strength, and YouTube seemed like the perfect platform to showcase that."
The highlight of the video was when Seo In-young read negative comments about her marriage and divorce, drawing significant attention. To a comment saying, "Wasn't it expected? You lasted longer than I thought," she responded, "That's true. People said they expected me to divorce when I got married," and added, "When I announced the divorce, people said, 'Only In-young didn't know. Everyone thought you'd divorce at the wedding,'" with a bittersweet smile.
Seo In-young candidly shared her thoughts on her divorce, saying, "I feel like I learned about life through the divorce. In the end, a quiet marriage where I do nothing doesn't suit me. I realized I need to be active." She continued, "Initially, I thought the way he liked me would last forever. Things can change, but if they change too quickly, I don't have time to prepare," and added, "When I got divorced, I didn't want to work and wanted to run away. I even considered retiring," sharing a poignant insight.
Following the video's release, netizens left enthusiastic comments such as "The queen returns" and "Facing controversies head-on," warmly welcoming Seo In-young's comeback.
Meanwhile, Seo In-young married a non-celebrity businessman in 2023 but filed for divorce after seven months, leading to their separation the following year.
