Yulhee, formerly of Laboum, has taken legal action against her ex-husband, FT Island’s Choi Min Hwan, following her explosive claims about his involvement in prostitution. On October 4th, legal sources revealed that Yulhee filed for a change of custody, alimony, and division of property at the Seoul Family Court.
Yulhee and Choi Min Hwan married in 2018 and have three children together—one son and two daughters. However, their marriage ended in December last year, with Choi Min Hwan assuming custody of their children. As a single dad, he received significant support for appearing on KBS’s The Return of Superman with his kids.
In contrast, Yulhee faced criticism for giving up custody and embracing the life of an influencer. The backlash intensified after she appeared on TV Chosun’s All By Myself, where she opened up about the divorce, only for a YouTuber to allege that her supposed “runaway” incident had led to the split.
Fed up with the growing negative attention, Yulhee made a series of shocking revelations on her YouTube channel. She accused Choi Min Hwan of sexually harassing her and being involved in prostitution, even sharing audio recordings of him allegedly arranging visits to adult venues. The scandal led to Choi Min Hwan stepping down from The Return of Superman and pausing his activities with FT Island.
Yulhee also disclosed that she had initially been offered 50 million KRW (approx. USD 37,000) as a settlement and 2 million KRW (approx. USD 1,470) in monthly child support, which she described as “a death sentence.” She explained that although she wanted to fight for custody at first, she was too physically and emotionally exhausted to proceed at the time. Moreover, she felt it was best for the children, who were used to living with Choi Min Hwan’s extended family, to remain in a familiar environment.
However, after her public accusations, Yulhee decided to pursue custody. She has now officially filed for custody and alimony, expressing her determination to bring her three children back into her care. As the court proceedings unfold, all eyes are on whether Yulhee will succeed in her battle to reunite with her children.
