The recent revelations about former LABOUM member Yulhee and her divorce from FT Island's Choi Minhwan have stirred significant curiosity among fans and followers.
On the YouTube channel Entertainment President Lee Jin-ho, a video titled "Shocking Exclusive! Why the Child Support? The Hellish Backstory of Yulhee and Choi Minhwan's Divorce" was unveiled. The video highlights major differences in lifestyle patterns and educational views as key factors in their separation. Yulhee emphasized the challenges of balancing her evening-oriented lifestyle with the responsibilities of parenting their three children, leading to conflicts over childcare duties.
Furthermore, the COVID-19 pandemic played a pivotal role in their split, impacting FT Island's performance activities and their family finances. As Yulhee grew more active as an influencer, clashes arose regarding prioritizing childcare over her career. An incident where Yulhee left home for several days before returning reportedly caused temporary reconciliation, but ultimately led to their divorce.
Meanwhile, Yulhee explained her reason for relinquishing custody rights on the show "Now I'm Alone," stating it was a practical choice for the children. She believes this decision was supported by Choi Minhwan's commitment to a family-oriented style. This mutual understanding allowed for an amicable arrangement regarding visitation and financial responsibilities after divorce.
Choi Minhwan has since moved closer to his parents' home after selling their shared house, choosing to live a life dedicated to their children. His participation in KBS2’s "The Return of Superman" continues to showcase his commitment to parenting. As Yulhee embarks on her next chapter sharing her solo journey on "Now I'm Alone," fans eagerly await what lies ahead for both stars.
