Regarding her 'Now I'm Alone' episode, Yulhee felt scared and nervous while watching, as it felt like she was evaluating herself.
I thought that if I cried, they wouldn't be able to judge me rationally. I also wondered why so many people would say harsh things to me, so I tried to look at myself from a third-party perspective. There are times when I get upset and depressed. Divorce was a choice I made for myself, and the rest was a choice I made for my children.
Yulhee dropped the bomb and went into detail about Choi Min-hwan's abusive behavior during their marriage. She shared an incident during a family drinking session,
He touched my private parts in front of his family and stuck money here (in my chest). I later found out that this kind of drunken behavior was a habit he had picked up from adult venues (prostitution houses).Yulhee added that learning about Minhwan's brothel visits was the last straw that made her decide to end their marriage.
The puzzle pieces fit together. Our married life changed 180 degrees from that point. I later found out that my husband enjoyed drinking and was familiar with the adult entertainment culture.
On the topic of their children, Yulhee stated,
Regardless of my hatred and disgust for the actions he committed against me, he hasn't done anything wrong as a father to our children. He has a house and a big family, and the children are happy with this life, which is why I gave up custody.She also emphasized that her children's happiness and well-being were her top priority, even all throughout the divorce process. She chose an amicable divorce without filing lawsuits and gave up custody and property division.
I didn't want to leave emotional scars on the children. I endured the pain for the sake of their peaceful lives.
Yulhee also spoke about the psychological pain she had to go through during their marriage and after the divorce.
I was so emotionally drained and mentally broken at the time that I didn't even have the energy to file a lawsuit.She wrapped up on a positive note, expressing her determination to give her children a happy future.
I will do my best to ensure we have better days ahead.At the end of the video, Yulhee released audio recordings from July and August 2022, with Minhwan and another man having conversations about prostitution.
In response to Yulhee's video gaining attention and causing controversy, FNC Entertainment released a statement on the 25th expressing regret to the public.
While it's difficult to provide specifics about private matters, Choi Min-hwan deeply regrets the disappointment he has caused and has decided to temporarily withdraw from all public engagements.
i hate that people say "dont talk abt this publicly think abt the kids" yulhee DESERVES to talk about it publicly after everyone attacked her for "being a bad mother" when she was also a victim of his ex husband.she's also a human being,she's a woman before she's a mother

Meanwhile, Yulhee debuted as a member of the K-pop girl group LABOUM in 2014. In 2017, her relationship with Choi Min-hwan, FT Island's guitarist, was revealed to the public and she also announced her departure from the group. The couple tied the knot in 2018 and has a son and two daughters. After five years of marriage, the couple amicably divorced in December 2022, with Choi taking custody of their children.
- What people forgot: when Choi Jonghoon (who went to jail for Burning Sun) was hiding, he was hiding at Choi Minhwan's house
- That's some audacity for these guys to come on TV acting like the victim and letting their wives get all the hate γ γ γ γ γ γ γ γ γ it's crazy that Yulhee stayed quiet all this time no matter all the hate she was getting γ γ γ no wonder she finally said enough's enough and just exposed him
- That he's going to wh*re houses is quite shocking, and I didn't know he let Choi Jonghoon hide in his place either. He acted like such a good father on 'Superman Returns,' goosebumps to think he was acting fake and doing all this behind the cameras...
- I wonder if he's been letting people blame her for the divorce this whole time thinking that she didn't have evidence. If he was going to choose to do embarrassing things, he should've kept his kids off TV at the very least.
so minhwan is a cheater. he cheated on yulhee with sex workers (prostitution is illegal in south korea btw). fuck him. to think i was rooting for them only to find out that he's just another trash. poor yulhee. i hope she'll get all the support and also the custody of the kids

Im scared now Yulhee will be persecuted by korean incels and that she might be in danger cause she is talking abt real life with korean men. I hope she will be safe and that now, more women will be more brave to tell their story
