Hwang Jung Eum Reportedly Filing for Divorce

On February 22, reports surfaced indicating that actress Hwang Jung Eum and her husband, Lee Young Don, are amidst divorce proceedings. The couple, who commenced their relationship in 2015 and tied the knot in 2016, are reportedly parting ways after a tumultuous journey that included a previous divorce filing in 2020, later followed by reconciliation in 2021.

Speculation arose when Hwang Jung Eum's Instagram activity hinted at underlying issues within the marriage. 

On the same day as the divorce reports emerged, the actress shared several posts featuring her husband, accompanied by seemingly innocuous captions. However, keen observers noted subtle hints suggesting marital discord, with implications of extramarital affairs.
