Recently, Bill Stax reshared a post from his ex-wife, named A, on Instagram. The photos showed the pair smiling in front of a courtroom, flashing peace signs and leaving cheerful comments about their split. The caption even referred to the occasion as an “Divorce Awards Ceremony” with the couple joking, “We shouldn’t come to court anymore. This is the last time. Have you ever seen a divorced couple like this?” In the post, Bill Stax also made a controversial hand gesture towards the camera.
Bill Stax had maintained a common-law marriage with A, who is 10 years his junior, for eight years before their relationship finally ended. During their time together, he often shared glimpses of family life, including raising his son from his first marriage to actress Park Hwan Hee. Bill Stax and Park Hwan Hee married in 2011 but divorced by mutual consent in 2013, with custody of their son awarded to Bill Stax.
His new marriage to A had already sparked controversy in the past. While Bill Stax was embroiled in a legal dispute with Park Hwan Hee, A publicly criticized the actress on social media, escalating tensions into a highly publicized feud.
When news of her second divorce broke, public reaction was largely negative. Many netizens criticized what they perceived as an attempt to do so “dispay window” divorce online, denouncing the finger gesture and what they described as repeated reckless behavior.
Online comments ranged from disbelief to frustration. Some have written, “If you were going to get a divorce anyway, why then attack the child’s mother?” Others questioned the need for provocative gestures, while some stated bluntly that the situation was “It’s not nice at all.” A recurring sentiment among commentators is that, although divorce itself is no longer highly stigmatized in modern society, treating it as a celebratory event, especially when children are involved, seems inappropriate.
Critics have also pointed out the irony of presenting the separation as something to be proud of, suggesting that social media culture may be distorting the boundaries of common sense.
As the debate continues, Bill Stax’s second divorce has once again placed his private life under public scrutiny, this time not for the breakup itself, but for the way it was displayed to the world.
