Choi Min-hwan Defends Divorce, Public Opinion Split



FT Island Choi Min-hwan opened his mouth again. However, public opinion remains cold.

Choi Min-hwan claimed in an interview on the 13th that the reason for his divorce from Yul-hee was not to enter his business. Choi Min-hwan said Yul-hee went out at night, played, and came in at dawn, took a nap for 18 to 20 hours, and when he pointed out the problem, he cursed and left the house angry. Yul-hee has run away more than 20 times in five years, and it is she and her family who have cared for children who have been neglected in the meantime. Yul-hee's runaway has been going on even before she knew about her access to the business, and the business in question was only karaoke that had Yul-hee's birthday party, but she did not engage in prostitution.

Earlier, Choi Min-hwan had a war of words with fans regarding prostitution and business access. When Choi Min-hwan was cleared of charges of sexual harassment and prostitution by Yul-hee, he posted a lengthy post and expressed his apology to his fans and members. He claimed that he never engaged in prostitution, but one fan questioned 'Isn't it true that he entered the business?' In response, Choi Min-hwan gave an answer that he did not need contraceptive tools because he had vasectomy, which was controversial.




Again this time, it revealed the reason for Yul-hee's fault, but in the end, it was undeniable that Choi Min-hwan himself entered the entertainment establishment, so it was not enough to reverse public opinion.

Netizens criticized her saying, "'What kind of wife would be in her right mind if her husband went to an entertainment place?' and 'Yul-hee did nothing well, but the fact that her father-of-three went to the place makes her upset', 'Two people who are not ready to be parents', 'I'm worried about the children', 'Yul-hee can take a side if she went to an entertainment place, but if there is no evidence of such rebuttal, please close her mouth'.

Meanwhile, Yul-hee is not responding to Choi Min-hwan's revelation. However, he released a video of him transforming into short hair and chatting with his friend on his channel. In the video, Yul-hee said that she cut her hair short because she had a change of heart every time she got pregnant or because it was hard to wash, and her friend cheered that "As I went through prenatal aerial warfare, I became strong and hard."




Choi Min-hwan and Yul-hee married in 2018 and had one son and two daughters, but divorced in 2023. The custody of the three children is held by Choi Min-hwan. Last year, Yulhee filed an application for mediation against Choi Min-hwan to divide his property, claim alimony, and change his custody's parental rights. Yulhee took issue with Choi Min-hwan's access to the business and unfair treatment of his parents-in-law and demanded 100 million won in alimony, 1 billion won in property division, and 5 million won in child support every month.
