Former Laboum member Yulhee opened up about the difficult decision to expose her ex-husband, Choi Min Hwan’s, alleged visits to entertainment establishments and why she chose to speak out.
In a recent episode of All By Myself on TV Chosun, Yulhee shared the emotional and personal reasons behind her decision to reveal the details surrounding her divorce and the allegations against her former husband.
Yulhee initially believed that she could overcome the challenges of divorce for the sake of their children. She confessed, “But I realized that the gap between us was too wide, and we ultimately decided that divorce was the best option for both of us.” Reflecting on the custody arrangement, she explained, “The financial situations of both my family and my in-laws played a significant role in the decision, which is why I ended up giving full custody of the children to my ex-husband.”
Following the custody decision, Yulhee revealed that she faced a barrage of negative comments online. She said, “It hurt me deeply to see how people viewed me differently from the reality of my life as a mother. I want to clarify that I have never neglected my responsibilities as a mother, and I have never abandoned my children.”
Addressing the recent allegations about Choi Min Hwan’s visits to entertainment establishments, Yulhee admitted, “I still don’t want to talk about it. I honestly didn’t want to expose it at all.” She explained, “After giving up custody, it was incredibly difficult for me. I wasn’t mentally able to think clearly for a whole year.”
Yulhee went on to explain that she lacked knowledge about divorce proceedings, feeling exhausted, distressed, and overwhelmed. “I didn’t know what to do,” she said. “I was just too emotionally drained.” Reflecting on her decisions, she continued, “I saw a comment that said, If you had been clearer-headed and hired a lawyer, this situation wouldn’t have happened. The comment really hit me, and I regret not thinking more carefully. If I had been in a better place mentally, I wouldn’t have made the choices I did.”
On the same day, Yulhee met with her attorney to discuss possibly regaining custody of her children. The lawyer outlined the factors that courts consider when determining custody, including stable housing, the presence of secondary caregivers, the custodial parent’s financial situation, and whether the ex-spouse provides child support. The lawyer acknowledged the problem’s difficulty but suggested, “Let’s go ahead and file for a change in custody.”
Yulhee and Choi Min Hwan officially divorced in December 2023, and Choi Min Hwan was granted custody of their three children. Recently, Yulhee shocked the public by exposing the allegations about Choi Min Hwan’s alleged visits to entertainment establishments and even revealing phone records of his communication with individuals connected to these establishments.
