Actress Myung Se-bin
In August 2007, actress Myung Se-bin tied the knot with lawyer Kang Ho-sung, marking the beginning of their short-lived marriage. However, just five months after their wedding, the couple made the difficult decision to file for divorce. Despite the sudden separation, they both emphasized that they remained on good terms and harbored no ill feelings toward each other.
In a statement to the media, they revealed that their relationship had gradually shifted from love to indifference. They cited irreconcilable differences as the main reason for their divorce, acknowledging that they had simply grown apart over time.
Lee Min-young and Lee Chan
Lee Min-young and Lee Chan, both well-known for their roles in the drama “Precious Family,” tied the knot on December 10, 2006. Their marriage, however, took a tragic turn just 12 days later. What began as a celebratory union quickly descended into domestic violence, leaving Lee Min-young hospitalized and suffering from a miscarriage.
The violence occurred during a heated argument between the couple, which escalated while they were in their car. Lee Chan was subsequently charged with assault. In court, the gravity of the incident was acknowledged, and Lee Chan was handed a two-year suspended prison sentence.
The Seoul Central District Court explained their decision, stating that while the assault was serious, it had been unplanned and occurred during a spontaneous dispute. They further explained that the sentence was suspended because Lee Chan had no prior criminal record, had admitted to his actions, and had shown remorse for the incident.
Instead of serving time in prison, he was ordered to complete community service, reflecting the court’s consideration of his lack of prior offenses and the circumstances surrounding the case.
