Virtually a 12 months in the past now, former LABOUM member Yulhee and FTISLAND member Choi Minhwan received divorced after 5 years of marriage and three kids. Predictably, within the aftermath of that, Yulhee received a lot of the criticism, plenty of it centering round allegations of her not caring about her children or the truth that she wasn’t continually depressing on socials after.
However criticism actually ratcheted up lately, as Yulhee joined selection present All By Myself and opened up about her life. Primarily, she talked about being shocked by the divorce, lacking her children, and addressed the criticism. Actually, I didn’t assume she mentioned a lot that was even that essential of Minhwan, she simply principally talked about hardships she’s had.
Regardless, cyberwrecker Lee Jin Ho remarkably “stumbled” upon data about what went fallacious between the couple, and positioned the blame on Yulhee. He mentioned she wished costly schooling, made Minhwan take the children to highschool hours away, and relied on his dad and mom for childcare. In the meantime, Yulhee turned an influencer through the pandemic to make-up for misplaced FTISLAND income, and a turning level got here when Yulhee left house for 4-5 days with out clarification. He additionally claimed she gave up custody as a result of Minhwan had cash and his household had been devoted to childcare, however that Minhwan allowed beneficiant visitation rights.
An angel, apparently.
Nicely, as a result of fallout from that and subsequent media protection, Yulhee talked about her aspect of the story in a YouTube video. In it, she revealed the turning level was when he caught cash into her bra (like one would possibly do at an grownup leisure place) and touched her physique in entrance of their households. Then she came upon Minhwan frequented grownup leisure institutions, and she or he included cellphone recordings between Minhwan and alleged associates of the institutions, displaying him making reservations and complaining about no ladies being accessible elsewhere, in addition to admitting to doing it secretly. She additionally says they each agreed on the selection of education, talked about that the divorce was settled with out court docket, and that she mainly stored quiet for the sake of the children.
In response to this, Minhwan’s firm (FNC Leisure) launched an announcement saying that he’ll be suspending actions.
Whereas it’s tough for us to totally grasp the main points of non-public issues associated to marital points, Minhwan feels a way of duty for disappointing most of the public and viewers. Due to this fact, he has determined to droop all media actions together with the present he seems on together with his kids.
That final half is likely one of the wild issues, as he was on KBS2’s The Return Of Superman like some type of nice single dad of three children. Anyway, the manufacturing of that present additionally confirmed his departure.
No rapid rebuttal normally says rather a lot when it’s one thing as doubtlessly ruinous as this.
And so, that’s an on the spot turnaround in public notion on this challenge, and the spectacular half about it to me is simply how entitled Minhwan seems to be. Yulhee didn’t actually categorical a lot exterior of disappointment and that he wished the divorce, and she or he was mainly simply going to eat all of the hate for the sake of their children, however “in some way” his aspect of the story received into the palms of a cyberwrecker anyway. Thus, she got here out along with her aspect, together with proof for it. He was nonetheless getting public sympathy out of the divorce, and he couldn’t permit her to even share her emotions.
Anyway, I simply really feel dangerous for Yulhee for having to cope with the 12 months of hate, for coping with him, and for the children having to cope with their dad and mom divorce being made public area (although perhaps realizing is sweet later? I dunno).
