Choi Min-hwan of F.T. Island and Yulhee of Laboum ended their relationship after 5 years of marriage.
On December 4, Choi Min-hwan announced on his official social media that he and Yul-hee agreed to divorce mediation. "After a long discussion, my wife and I agreed to end our marriage," the singer said.
He added, "We feel sorry for everyone who supported and watched our decision to start a family at such a young age. We are truly sorry."
Choi Min-hwan was to have custody of all three children. He said, "As a father, I will do my best until the end to spare the children any heartache."
Yulhee also announced her position on the same day. "I have to tell you a serious story. After much effort and conversation, we have decided to support each other on our separate paths."
Regarding raising children, she explained, "I decided to keep the children in the same home where they have been living so as not to cause too much psychological anxiety for them, so their father is raising them."
Yulhee said, "I was worried as much as you supported me. The choice was not an easy one, but it was for each other's happiness. Please keep watching out for us."
Meanwhile, Choi Min-hwan and Yulhee got married in October 2018.
