Yulhee and Choi Min Hwan, who recently separated, once complained on TV of their different parenting views
On December 4th, 2023, FT Island’s Choi Min Hwan and Ex-LABOUM’s Yulhee made an announcement about their decision to call it quits after being married for five years.
Choi Min Hwan said “I don’t understand that. Isn’t it too much to spend such an amount all at once?“, suggesting that they are in conflict because they have different parenting views.
After listening to the two’s story, doctor Oh Eun Young told Yulhee that she was “projecting her own deficiency onto her children“.
Having tied the knot in 2018 and now parents to a son and twin daughters, Choi Min Hwan and Yulhee are navigating divorce proceedings. As part of the split, all of their children will be staying with Choi Min Hwan.
Last year on Channel A’s “Dr. Oh’s Golden Clinic”, Choi Min Hwan and Yulhee appeared as guests and confessed their marriage conflict over their children.
Yulhee said, “The cost of education is 8 million won per month for our three children. Doesn’t every mother want to give that to their children?“
At the time, netizens expressed displeasure, “I shed tears of blood from the perspective of an ordinary person raising children“, “I feel a sense of separation” and “It’s not a story that can be sympathized with by the general public.“
In particular, some netizens cast negative eyes at Yulhee, who declared her retirement from the broadcasting industry, saying, “I hope she won’t appear on TV shows anymore.“
Yulhee (real name Kim Yul Hee), who was born in 1997 and is 26 years old this year, married Choi Min Hwan in October 2018. They have one son and two daughters.
After dating rumors with Choi Min Hwan in September 2017, she officially withdrew from Laboum in November of the same year. The agency said, “Yulhee informed the agency several times that she has no intention of continuing her activities in the entertainment industry.“
Afterwards, she officially returned to broadcasting through KBS2’s “Mr. House Husband” in December 2018, sparking controversy.
