Actress Hwang Jung-eum, 41, has officially parted ways with her husband, a former professional golfer turned businessman, after nine years of marriage.
Hwang Jung-eum's agency, Y-One Entertainment, announced on the 26th through a press release that "Hwang Jung-eum's divorce has been amicably finalized following a mediation decision by the family court."
Following reports in some media outlets that Hwang Jung-eum's real estate had been seized during the divorce proceedings with Mr. Lee, the agency clarified, "During the divorce proceedings, both parties took measures to preserve assets while settling joint property, which is a common occurrence during such legal processes."
Additionally, the agency sincerely apologized for any concern caused by the actress's personal divorce proceedings and stated, "We will do our best to swiftly conclude the remaining legal matters related to Hwang Jung-eum's personal corporation."
Hwang Jung-eum married Mr. Lee in 2016 but announced their separation in 2020, initiating divorce proceedings. They later reconciled and welcomed their second son. However, last year, the couple decided to divorce once again and began legal proceedings. During this time, Hwang Jung-eum posted on social media what appeared to be pointed remarks about Mr. Lee's infidelity, sparking controversy.
