Former LABOUM member Yulhee recently shared her thoughts in a candid new YouTube video, marking her first public statement since her allegations against her ex-husband, FT Island’s Choi Min Hwan.
“I feel like I’ve lost myself over the past year,” Yulhee admitted. “It felt like I had to erase who I was before to avoid further pain. So many misconceptions surrounded me, and I worried that holding onto my past would only continue to hurt me. While I want to live my own life, I’m still committed to being a mom to my kids. My love for them hasn’t changed, and I’m working hard to be there for them every day.”
She continued, “I wonder if my kids would think I abandoned them even if that wasn’t the case, if I was too narrow-minded when I could’ve just brushed past it, or if I should have just accepted the criticism if I wanted to stay as a mom. Still, because of all the hurt and misunderstandings, I don’t regret the divorce. I want people to know that I’m living my life happily while also holding onto my role as their mom.”
Yulhee also shared that since the scandal, she has received messages from people in similar situations. “I realized how many others have experienced the same kind of pain,” she said. “It helped me reflect on myself and gave me courage. I’m determined to keep moving forward, focused and unwavering, even though there was a time I felt ashamed of who I’d been. I thought I wasn’t avoiding it, but I was—just because it felt like a living hell, because I was powerless. I had to face them head-on.”
Yulhee and Choi Min Hwan, who married in 2018, share one son and twin daughters. The couple divorced in December last year, and last month Yulhee publicly claimed that Choi had been involved in inappropriate behavior, alleging harassment in front of his parents and frequenting hostess bars during their marriage.
Following the scandal, Choi Min Hwan temporarily withdrew from FT Island and stepped down from the family variety show The Return of Superman, effectively halting all his activities. Currently, Choi has primary custody of their children, but Yulhee is pursuing custody and a division of assets, expressing her desire to raise the children herself.
