In a new episode of the program, Yulhee discussed how the divorce came about, saying it felt sudden and unexpected.
So I didn’t notice [the divorce] it was too sudden. That’s why I have so many happy memories; I never felt like a crisis was coming. From the moment I found out, it was like my own personal hell.
— Yulhee
He added that he thought they would be able to overcome the situation, but ultimately chose divorce.
When the idea of divorce came up, I wanted to get over it. I thought I could overcome the pain and difficulties because we loved each other and because we had children. But as the emotional gap between us grew deeper and deeper, we decided to divorce each other for the sake of each other.
— Yulhee
When a member of the production staff commented that it must have taken courage to talk about the divorce, Yulhee stated that “I didn’t talk about it, so I don’t know.“
