A past conflict between Minhwan of K-pop boy band FTISLAND and Yulhee of girl group LABOUM resurfaced amid their unexpected divorce announcement yesterday.
On December 4, it was announced that Minhwan and Yulhee had decided to put an end to their 5-year marriage after long deliberations. FNC Entertainment, Minhwan’s agency, detailed that they are currently in the divorce process, and agreed that Minhwan would have custody of their three children―Jae-yul, Ah-rin, and Ah-yoon.
Following the announcement, a past television show appearance of theirs started gaining attention. The resurfaced television show was Channel A’s ‘Dr. Oh’s Golden Clinic’, where Minhwan and Yulhee appeared together and spoke to psychiatrist Dr. Oh Eun-young about their struggles at home.
During the show, Minhwan expressed frustration about sending their children to a kindergarten that was an hour and a half away from their home. Yulhee defended her decision, stating that she wanted the best opportunities for their children, despite the high cost.
Despite their disagreements about raising their children, Yulhee also mentioned that she wants to have a fourth child, which Minhwan opposed due to practical concerns.
Minhwan and Yulhee had appeared as a happy married couple with their children on KBS’ reality show ‘Mr. House Husband’ for years, making their divorce announcement even more surprising to their fans.
