Koo Hye-sun, Ahn Jae-hyeon face divorce after three years
Star actors Koo Hye-sun, 35, and Ahn Jae-hyeon, 32, are facing divorce after three years of marriage. Koo has revealed that they are currently in the process for divorce, through her Instagram posts, Sunday.
“I want to stay together, while my husband who reached a stage of ennui, wants divorce,” she wrote for the caption of her Instagram picture which showed a handwritten note from her husband reading “I love you, Koo Hye-sun.”
“I should let you know the press release from my husband, which will be disclosed next week, is not true,” she added. Koo said she uploaded the post because her mother was shocked after hearing the news.
Followed by the photo, Koo uploaded screen captures of their text message conversation. In the disclosed message, Ahn says “I already talked with the New Journey to the West team that I will submit the agreement and other paperwork next week that you gave me three days ago.”
Koo requested Ahn to meet her mother directly and persuade her mother to accept the divorce as he did for their marriage. However, Ahn said he wouldn’t “know what to say in person” if he meets with Koo’s mother and said he would talk to her on the phone. Koo said she would not stay put if he doesn’t apologize to her mother, and the text conversation ended there. “New Journey to the West” is a travel-reality show in Korea aired on tvN since 2015, on which Ahn is appearing as a fixed panelist. Koo also appeared as a special guest on “My Little Boy,” which was to air on SBS on the day Koo exposed their marital troubles. According to the staff of “My Little Old Boy,” Koo did not mention the divorce and rather shared heartwarming anecdotes from before and after their wedding during filming.
HB Entertainment, the management agency of Koo and Ahn, said they are proceeding with the divorce by mutual agreement. According to the agency’s official announcement, Koo said she wanted to start divorce procedures in August and conclude with an agreement in September. However after the announcement on Sunday, Koo argued that she “hasn’t signed the divorce agreement yet, although the divorce has been the topic of conversation for a while.” She claimed the agency did not discuss the official announcement with her before it was released to the press, and she still wants to stay together with her husband.
