On the 13th, Dispatch published an interview with Choi Minhwan, revisiting his divorce from Yulhee. According to the report, Choi Minhwan revealed various conflicts during their marriage, stating that the ultimate reason for their divorce was Yulhee's frequent runaways from home and irregular sleep patterns.
During the interview, Choi Minhwan shared, 'We've been together for five years. During that time, Yulhee ran away from home more than 20 times due to arguments. Sometimes it was for a day or two, and other times it was for a week or ten days." This contradicts Yulhee's claim that Choi Minhwan's visits to adult entertainment establishments were the cause of their divorce.
Choi Minhwan also emphasized that he absolutely cannot accept Yulhee's demands for 100 million KRW in alimony, 1 billion KRW in asset division, and child custody along with child support until the children reach adulthood. Choi Minhwan asserted that the primary reason for the divorce was Yulhee and even shared their KakaoTalk messages as evidence.
According to Choi Minhwan, Yulhee left the house on August 1, 2021. Choi Minhwan had expressed frustration with Yulhee, saying, "You sleep too much," to which she responded, "Who do you think made my life this miserable?" Yulhee also reportedly cursed in front of Choi Minhwan's mother, leading Choi Minhwan to call Yulhee's mother. Following this, Yulhee took their eldest child and stayed at her parents' house for 10 days.
When asked why his wife’s excessive napping was an issue, Choi Minhwan asked, "Wouldn’t it be a problem if someone sleeps for 18 to 20 hours a day?" However, even his manager didn’t side with him. On August 1, Choi Minhwan had texted his manager, saying, "Yulhee sleeps too much," but the manager responded, "Maybe childcare is really hard for her. Maybe get her some supplements or something. How can you fight her in this situation? Bring her back quickly." When Choi Minhwan expressed a desire for divorce, the manager tried to dissuade him, saying, "You can’t divorce. Just endure it for a bit more."
Choi Minhwan clarified, "It wasn't a prostitution venue. It was a karaoke room where I held Yulhee's birthday party. A Hyung I know worked there, but he told me there were no rooms available, so I asked about other places. It's true that I asked about a 'short room' because there were no rooms available. However, I never engaged in prostitution. I understand why Yulhee might have misunderstood. I admitted my fault, apologized, and reflected on my actions." He continued, "But when we were negotiating the divorce, this issue wasn't even brought up. The reason for our divorce was our incompatible lifestyles. I don't understand why she's suddenly bringing up this issue and demanding alimony."
So he's saying that her naps are the big revelation??
Is he trying to say that her napping is a bigger reason for divorce than his visit to an adult entertainment establishment?
Did he really think revealing this to the public would make people hate Yulhee?
-That's not something he should be proud of.
-What is he saying? Is he even speaking in Korean?
-She has three kids and her husband visits an adult entertainment establishment. It must've been not easy for her to decide to get a divorce. Of course, she’d struggle to sleep at night and might want to run away.
-He said he absolutely couldn’t agree to paying child support until they reach adulthood...??? I’m so shocked.
-Did he never think about why she was sleeping so much? How stressed must she have been to act like that?
-This is ridiculous.
-It seems like he's never taken care of a childㅋㅋㅋㅋ No wonder he's saying things like this.... What a bullshit.
-There are a lot of men who think that taking care of a child is just playing with them at home... F*ck that.
-He doesn’t even know what the problem is, does he?
-What is he saying? He's a father of three who visits adult entertainment establishes and he's the one who feels wronged here?? Is he seriously upset about that? He’s not in his right mind.
-Does he really think that going to an adult entertainment establishment is the same as sleeping?
-He's trying too hard.
-If you’re stuck at home taking care of kids at a young age, of course you’d get depressed.... Does he not realize something’s wrong if she’s sleeping that much?
-Crazy how a celebrity uses that as an excuse and the media just accepts it... This is f*cking hell.
