The famous singer Sohyang revealed that she silently divorce her husband more than two years ago, ending their 25 -year wedding. This was also confirmed by his KQ Entertainment Agency, which issued a declaration in which the couple “has decided to support the mutual separate paths after a sufficient conversation and mutual respect”.
The declaration, as published in Chosun, added: “We inform you that the divorce was not due to the fault of a part but was based on the mutual agreement”. The agency also requested: “We ask for a moderation in distorted or indiscriminate reports and comments”.
In an exclusive interview with Edaily in view of her next concert, the singer shared that she married her ex -husband in 1998 after meeting him in the CCM Pos group. Their relationship ended in 2023 and the couple had no children.
“After getting married, we realized that we had different personalities and values, but we tried to make it work. Over time, we concluded that it was better to travel our separate ways. After a long period of reflection, we got to a mutual agreement and we separated,” he said, according to AllkPop.
Courage from “K-Pop Demon Hunters”
Sohyang explained that the animated film by Netflix “K-Pop Demon Hunters” gave her the courage to finally share the news with the public. Immersed in making his first full album from his debut, he remained silent for over two years.
The turning point came when he saw a scene in which the main character, Rumi, revealed his hidden identity. “He moved me deeply,” said Sohyang. “At the same time, I was ashamed to hide the truth about my divorce. I made a promise that if I had ever had the opportunity to speak honestly, I didn’t hide it anymore. I wanted to be courageous as rumi.”
His recent cover of “Golden”, a song by Huntr/X of the film, has already attracted over 2.4 million views on YouTube.
A global recognition career
From debut in 1996, Sohyang built a reputation for its exceptional vocal range. He performed in important international stages, including the 2014 NBA opening ceremony, the PyeongChang Paralympic Games 2018, the Aquatics World Aquatics 2019 and 2024 Busan World Table Tennis Championships. He also fascinated the public in famous Korean musical performances such as “I AM A Singer 2”, “Immortal Songs” and “The King of Mask Singer”.
In 2023, an exclusive contract signed with KQ Entertainment, the agency behind Global Idol Group Ateez. The collaboration derived from his appearance together with Hongjoong and Jongho in “I’m a Singer” by KBS 2TV.
He said he is not afraid of trying new things and he would like to expand his career abroad, adding that his goal is “to continue singing on dreams, love and hope – and bringing healing to as many people as possible”.
Message to fans
By addressing his supporters, Sohyang said: “To those who learn divorce through this article, I want you to know that there is no need to worry. I hope you will support both my ex -husband as we go on our paths”.
