Yulhee also personally announced the news of the divorce, saying, “After much effort and conversation, my husband and I have decided to support each other in our respective paths.”
He said, “This is the end of the couple’s journey, but it is not the end for the children’s mother and father, so we are both doing our best to care for and communicate with the children.” “I decided that it would be right for me to stay in the same space I used to live in so that this problem would not grow, so the child’s father is raising the child, and I am also spending time with the children by meeting frequently so that they do not feel the absence of the mother as much,” he explained the current situation. Yulhee also wrote, “After many conversations, it was not an easy decision that we made for each other’s happiness, so I hope you will look at us with warm eyes.”
Choi Min-hwan and Yul-hee began dating publicly in 2017 and became married the following year in 2018. After having their first son in May of that year, the couple welcomed twins one after another in February 2020. After getting married, Choi Min-hwan appeared on KBS’s parenting entertainment program ‘The Return of Superman’ and showed himself raising children as a ‘father’ rather than an idol, and the couple also appeared together in ‘Men Who Do Housework’ and ‘Oh Eun-young’s Golden Counseling Center’. .
Choi Min-hwan debuted as a member of FT Island in 2007, received great love with songs such as ‘Love Sick’ and ‘Hope’, and led the K-pop band Korean Wave in Japan and Taiwan. Yulhee, who debuted with Laboum in 2014, left her team after deciding to marry Choi Minhwan, saying, “I have no intention of pursuing her entertainment career.”
