Hwang Jung Eum is drawing attention with reports of her divorce from her husband Lee Young Don. In the latest development, on February 22nd, media outlets unexpectedly uncovered the reason why the actress chose to part ways with her husband after 8 years of marriage. According to The Fact, an acquaintance of Hwang Jung Eun revealed that Lee Young Don had made a mistake leading to the breakdown of their marriage.
But the story doesn’t end there. Netizens delved into Hwang Jung Eum’s recent posts on her Instagram and raised suspicions that the actress was hinting at her husband’s affair.
Specifically, it’s believed she exposed Lee’s cheating on her. Lee openly showed his joy when receiving chocolate from his alleged mistress. Hwang Jung Eum left many comments and captions insinuating that her husband was happily involved with another woman behind her back: “My husband has been busy enjoying life since we got married. Still busy now. So feel free to enjoy,” “My husband has been continuously busy since we got married.”
Hwang Jung Eum sparked discussions by posting a photo of her husband looking radiant with the caption: “My husband was born in 1982. Yet he still looks so happy when given chocolate.” From this, netizens raised suspicions that the actress accused her husband of cheating, receiving gifts from a mistress.
Moreover, Hwang Jung Eum hinted at her husband’s infidelity, having an affair when interacting with fans on Instagram. Hwang Jung Eum once told a fan: “My husband is the kind of person who finds it hard to remember faces. If I remember correctly, he has met about 400 people.”
Speculations about cracks in the marriage of Hwang Jung Eum surfaced last October when she unexpectedly shared on the program “My Little Old Boy” that: “Now I no longer see my husband as handsome as before, nor do I feel any excitement about him anymore. Getting married is the biggest regret of my life. Even my husband has changed. Young Don used to always praise me as a doll, but now he calls me a doll with a demon face.”
