Married YouTuber Duo 'Yongsuk Couple' Splits; Sook-yeon Announces Solo Content Return

The married YouTuber duo 'Yongsuk Couple,' who had 100,000 subscribers, has officially ended their marriage.

Sook-yeon recently launched a new YouTube channel titled 'It's Yook-yeon' and revealed in her first video, "Over the past eight months, I lost my father, and in less than three months, I have also ended my long marriage."

She continued, "Because we were a married YouTuber couple, I had to let go of my work, which was the biggest part of my life. I realized I couldn't just stay at home. I booked a flight and headed to Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, without a plan. As soon as I arrived in Ho Chi Minh City, I felt like I could breathe again. It felt like I was finding myself. I want to start over, even if I am alone. I plan to document the process of a woman in her mid-30s slowly getting back on her feet."

She also calmly shared her feelings following the divorce. Sook-yeon smiled and said, "I thought it would be burdensome to be responsible for everything on my own, but it is actually better than I thought. It feels lighter. I am confident in my ability to support myself."

Regarding her ex-husband, she said, "I cannot go into details, but we have parted ways on good terms, wishing the best for each other," adding, "I truly want him to succeed as well. He is someone I grew up with."

Previously, the Yongsuk Couple announced the closure of their original channel last month, stating, "There have been many changes over the past while, and after much deliberation, we have decided to end this channel here." At the time, they did not disclose specific reasons, saying, "We cannot share the personal details, but we are grateful to those who have been with us."

The Yongsuk Couple gained popularity for their travel-focused content. The two published an essay titled 'Things That Free Your Life,' which covered their experiences with working holidays, backpacking around the world, and their journey as content creators. They also engaged in charitable activities, such as making donations through volunteer organizations.
