On October 24, Yulhee uploaded a video on her YouTube channel to share her side of the story and made shocking claims regarding her divorce from F.T. Island's Minhwan.
On this day, Yulhee sat down and revealed various details about the hardships during her marriage with Minhwan and clarified some of the misunderstandings that were portrayed through the broadcast. Not only that, she claimed that Minhwan had been going to adult establishments (hostess bars) before their divorce, bringing renewed shock about their separation.
Yulhee's latest YouTube video has been gaining much traction with Korean netizens' views on their divorce slowly shifting.
One netizen summarized Yulhee's video content and shared it in a popular online community where other netizens gathered to share their thoughts on the latest issue.
The netizen summarized:
1. English Kindergarten: They mutually agreed to send the kids, and it was a nearby location (the situation was distorted to suggest that Yulhee insisted on sending them to a place that took an hour and a half away, causing conflict).
2. They were both contributing to paying living expenses and the kindergarten fees, and they agreed it wasn't a burdensome amount.
3. They were seeking counseling from Oh Eun Young, but the show edited it strangely.
4. Minhwan's family talked badly of Yulhee behind her back.
5. Minhwan put cash on Yulhee's chest (after listening to it again, he put the cash on her pajama collar near her chest in front of his parents, his brother, and the brother's wife.)
6. Minhwan grabbed Yulhee's chest and touched her private parts in front of his whole family.
7. After the divorce, they agreed not to use the children for profit or expose them on broadcasts. Yulhee kept this agreement.
8. Yulhee planned to take custody of the children.
9. In response to point 8, Minhwan's side offered 50 million KRW (~36,233 USD) and 2 million KRW (~1,449 USD) monthly in child support.
10. The only way to take the children while ensuring their well-being was through a lawsuit, but Yulhee had no information/idea about it and was exhausted. Since Minhwan's offer was good, she left by herself for the sake of the kids.
11. When Yulhee appeared on 'Golden Counseling Center,' she already knew about his visits to the questionable places but was still trying to heal and mend the relationship.
12. She accepted and acknowledged that she was an irresponsible mother, and felt ashamed.
13. Even though she wasn't particularly sad, she was so emotionally drained that she just started crying.
14. But then Minhwan said at that time, 'Let's get divorced,' which made her decide to actually go through with it.
15. She recalled only part of Minhwan's recorded phone conversation with someone called 'Hyung' about visiting a hostess bar, which happened sometime between July and November 2022. It was around 2-3 AM.
Phone conversation:
"I need to be home by seven, right?"
"Is it 20,20 for the price?"
"I snuck out."
"Can you make a reservation (for the hostess bar)?"
"Tell them to treat us well."
"Is it because of the rain? They say there aren’t any girls here. If they’re not here, there won’t be any anywhere else."
There's also a part about waiting 1-2 hours just to go to a hostess bar.
"How much do I owe for the unpaid bill? Seems like it’s around 230, right?"
"There are so many girls here! (at 5 AM)."
Hyung: "Go on vacation with the kids and your wife."
Minhwan: "Don’t say weird things."
Hyung: "Go home."
Minhwan: "I’m not going."
Hyung: "I will check if there are girls available to choose from (karaoke)." – Minhwan: "Got it ♡."
