On November 10, a video titled “Hiking” was posted on Yulhee’s YouTube channel, “Yulhee’s House”.
During the hike, Yulhee shared, “I needed this time. To be honest, it was difficult to take the subway or bus. I stayed at home, taking time for myself. I read books in the house so much that I wanted to feel the sunlight. I think it was a good decision to come out.“
Yulhee reflected: “I’ve missed a lot over the last year. I felt like I was trying to erase myself. Maybe it’s because those memories were painful, but I thought that if I erased the past, I wouldn’t be hurt in the future. Over the past year there has been so much speculation about me and I felt that if I didn’t let go of the past years, I could hurt myself. I want to live my life while being a mother to my children. My love for my children has not changed. For the days I get to spend with them, I plan to work hard and move forward.“
He continued: “Sometimes I think, ‘I don’t think I’ve abandoned my kids, but do they think that way? Was I narrow-minded when it was something I might have overlooked? Should I have accepted it if I wanted to continue being their mother?’ However, due to all the speculation and criticism, I do not regret the divorce. I wanted to live happily and still maintain my position as a mother. That’s why I decided to speak out, to put things right. I have lived, and continue to live, in a way that I will not be ashamed of as a mother, and I want to continue to live that way.“
Yulhee added: “I didn’t want to be a mother who couldn’t face her children with pride. After everything happened, I received a lot of messages. There were so many people with similar pain and injuries. I reflected and took courage by looking back at myself. I clearly felt the path I needed to follow as a mother. I realized that I had to keep moving forward without wavering to achieve my goals and I was ashamed of my past self. I thought I wasn’t ignorant of things, but I actually was. I felt embarrassed because, despite how difficult it was, despite how helpless I felt, it was something I finally had to face.”
Yulhee and Choi Minhwan married in 2018 and had a son and twin daughters, but divorced in December last year. Last month, Yulhee alleged that during their marriage, Choi Minhwan sexually harassed her in front of her parents and that he often frequented entertainment venues. She pointed out that learning about Minhwan’s visits to such places a year before their divorce was a decisive reason for their separation.
Following these revelations, Minhwan temporarily retired from FT Island, resigned from the KBS2 parenting reality show “The Return of Superman,” where he appeared with his children, and essentially ceased his activities.
Currently, Minhwan has custody of the children, but Yulhee, with a strong desire to take care of them herself, filed a custody and property division lawsuit against her ex-husband.
