Unlike the common scenario where mothers typically retain custody after divorce, Yulhee has been known to relinquish custody of her children, sparking public criticism. Amid this, he calmly shared his story on the show.
Yulhee, an active member of girl group LABOUM, found out she was pregnant in 2017 while dating someone. Choi Min-hwan. He was only 20 years old at the time. Fearing that revealing the truth would affect his career, he chose to keep it a secret.
The first to discover it were her younger sister and the stylist responsible. Coincidentally, Yulhee had more activity after her pregnancy, and thanks to the attention of the stylist director, she was able to wear comfortable clothes while working.
However, as she entered the third to fourth month, her belly began to show and she began to experience back pain and shortness of breath. With growing concern, he unconsciously placed a hand on his belly as he greeted the others, always preparing for what he thought might be his last performance.
Eventually, it became impossible to keep the news under wraps. When he told his mother, his mother worriedly asked “How do you plan to solve this problem?” and cried a lot about her daughter’s future. Ultimately, Yulhee left the group in November of the same year.
In January 2018, Choi Min-hwan announced his marriage to Yulhee. Their wedding took place in October, after Yulhee gave birth to their first child in May and completed her postpartum recovery. Despite the challenges, they officially became a married couple.
After their wedding, Yulhee and Choi Min-hwan shared their married life on television. In 2020 they welcomed twin girls, becoming parents of three children. Although Yulhee expressed a desire to have a fourth child, this desire ultimately remained unfulfilled.
This is largely due to the fact that the couple divorced in December last year after 5 years of marriage. After the divorce, Choi Min-hwan shared his daily life with children through KBS’s “The Return of Superman”, leading to further criticism of Yulhee.
However, divorce is a matter between the couple and their families. Yulhee had to give up custody of her children for financial reasons, shedding tears in the process. Going forward, we support Yulhee in overcoming people’s prejudices and confidently pursuing her own path.
