Choi Min-hwan’s Interview Fails: Reasons for Divorce and Manager’s Support for Yulhee

Choi Min-hwan’s Interview Fails: Reasons for Divorce and Manager’s Support for Yulhee

Choi Min-hwan gave an interview on January 13 to explain the reasons for his divorce and address allegations of involvement in prostitution. However, his attempt to clarify the situation ended up making things worse.

Reason for divorce: Yulhee’s excessive napping

In the interview with Dispatch, Choi Min-hwan claimed that the reason for their divorce was Yulhee, stating: “We lived together for five years and during that time Yulhee ran away from home more than 20 times due to arguments, sometimes for a day or up to a week or ten days.” He also mentioned that their first major conflict stemmed from Yulhee’s excessive napping, claiming that she would sleep 18 to 20 hours a day and would get angry when the issue was brought up. He also claimed that Yulhee cursed in front of his mother.

However, Choi Minhwan’s candid interview failed to change public opinion. Despite claiming that the divorce was Yulhee’s fault, the KakaoTalk messages and conversations he revealed turned out to be unfavorable for him.

According to reports, they discussed Yulhee’s naps and Yulhee left with their first child. However, some details were omitted from the interview. In released KakaoTalk messages, Yulhee defended herself, saying: “I was so upset and angry at how you treated me like a maid. I called my mom in the middle of the night after we had an argument, and when she told me to leave I got really angry and cursed,” explaining his version to Choi Minhwan. This means that the real reason for Yulhee’s excessive napping and the underlying cause of her departure are not addressed in the article.

Many netizens questioned the reason for the divorce over a nap issue. They commented, “I’ve never heard of anyone getting divorced because they slept too much,” “Shouldn’t we check to see if there’s a health problem? What’s the real problem?” AND “How hard must it have been to raise three children to sleep all day?”

Furthermore, Choi Min-hwan’s manager also made comments in support of Yulhee, which further damaged Choi Minhwan’s position. When Yulhee left, Choi Minhwan sent messages to his manager expressing frustration, but his manager responded by saying: “Being a parent must be hard” “Is it really about sleeping too much? Maybe she’s just tired, you should buy her some vitamins,” constantly siding with Yulhee.

Prostitution charges

Additionally, in the interview, Choi Minhwan admitted to asking about a “shirt room” (a type of salon where hostesses change into shirts to serve male customers), following a recording in which he asked an acquaintance of the absence of girls and asked “Two toothbrushes and something similar.” This raised suspicions of prostitution.

Choi Minhwan explained that it was not a prostitution business but a karaoke place for Yulhee’s birthday party. He clarified that he only asked about the t-shirt room because there were no karaoke rooms available. Choi Minhwan admitted asking about services offered at an entertainment venue, repeating his previous statement from the police investigation, where he denied engaging in prostitution but admitted frequenting such venues. He was unable to provide concrete evidence to dispel suspicions, which increased public doubts.

However, Choi Minhwan’s failure to address his use of prostitution-related slang terms such as “shirt,” “condition” (condom), and “two toothbrushes” fueled public skepticism, leaving his interview to complicate things further.
