Choi Min Hwan and Yulhee ended their five-year-long marriage, and the announcement was very unexpected to the fans. The Kpop couple exchanged vows in 2018 and also share three children. Both wanted to put effort into making things work, but it didn’t happen. What happened?
Starting from the basics, Choi Min Hwan, also known as Minhwan, is an incredible Kpop singer. He serves as the drummer and backing vocalist of the rock band- F.T. Island.
In 2018, she made her solo debut with “First Story.” In addition to music, Choi Min Hwan also has great acting skills. He played a lead role in Mysterious Solver. You must watch the 2009 project- The Road Home.
On the other hand, Yulhee, born in 1997, is now 26 years old. She hails from Gogang-dong. She rose to fame for being a member of the girl group- LABOUM.
However, it was in 2017 that Yulhee left the group, showing her disinterest in the entertainment industry. She also starred in the show – Mr. House Husband. In 2020, Yulhee started her YouTube career and has garnered a massive fanbase on the platform.
Moving on with Choi Min Hwan and Yulhee’s divorce, the announcement was made on December 4, 2023. Even though it was mutual, fans wondered the reason. What do you think? Here is everything we know.
Choi Min Hwan And Yulhee’s Divorce: Why Did They Part Ways?
The reason behind Choi Min Hwan and Yulhee’s divorce was the differences in their parental values. Well, this calls for the discussion of their three kids. They are named as- Jaeyul (son) and Arin, Ahyoon (twin daughters). As the Kpop couple parted ways, they confirmed to co-parent their children.
With a heavy heart, Yulhee took it to social media and said, “After much time, effort, and discussion, we have decided to support each other on separate paths. Although our journey as a couple has come to an end, our roles as parents to our children persist.”
No doubt, Yulhee is an incredible mother who never fails to prioritize their kids’ well-being. In her announcement, she also shared that their children are currently living with their father, Choi Min Hwan. Because that would help them to “accommodate realistic issues and minimize any psychological distress.” Despite their divorce, she is still in touch with Choi Min Hwan for the sake of their little ones.
Not only that, Yulhee and Choi Min Hwan communicate daily as parents of three. The media influencer often visits them and spends time together as a family. It was a “difficult” decision for both, but both felt the need to do so.
On the other hand, following her official announcement, Choi Min Hwan posted, “It is with regret that I have to greet you after a while with rath.” He even apologized to the fans who supported them while they started their family at a very young age.
The F.T. Island singer concluded his post by saying that he will do his utmost to fulfill his role as a father and ensure his children do not carry any emotional scars.
Coming back to the main issue that made the Kpop couple apart- parenting values, a netizen shared an incident. It said, “When Yulhee goes to the amusement park, she said she would buy the pass fast so that their kids don’t need to wait in line.” Whereas, “Choi Min Hwan believes that the kids need to learn patience by waiting in line, just like others.” Incidents like this started to take a toll on their marriage.
Things didn’t stop there. Choi Min Hwan addressed Yulhee as a stubborn mother. On this note, he said, “My wife buys anything that my children want.” But, the latter defended herself, saying that she always did and still does whatever she thinks is best for the little ones.
Yulhee further shared that her family was not well-off. In her case, because of that, she always wanted her children to learn and have everything possible. The school where the kids are admitted teaches ballet and English both at the same time. Therefore, Yulhee wanted them to study there, where monthly fees were 8 million won.
On the other hand, Choi Min Hwan was accused of drinking too much- consuming more than a couple of wine bottles each day.
Well, everything happens for good. Best Wishes to both Choi Min Hwan and Yulhee for the upcoming days. Sending loads of love to the three little kids.
