In just a day, two Korean celebrities confirmed their divorces.
Following the divorce announcement of South Korea actress Hwang Jung-eum last week, the entertainment industry was abuzz when news of two more divorces broke today (29 February).
Heo Dong-won Confirms His Divorce
The first is 43-year-old actor Heo Dong-won, who gained significant popularity for his role as a twisted male teacher in the hit Korean drama Dark Glory.
Back then, after the series concluded, Heo had shared the joyous news of his impending marriage with fans, affectionately referring to his wife as “the most precious friend in life.”
The couple tied the knot on 1 March 2023, in a ceremony that was met with warm wishes from fans and friends alike.
However, just a year into the marriage, reports of their divorce surfaced, shocking many who had followed Heo’s rise to fame and subsequent personal happiness.
Today, Heo’s agency confirmed the divorce, stating, “It’s true that they have divorced, but it is difficult to answer other questions regarding the artist’s private life.”
His ex-wife is not a celebrity.

Coincidentally, Lee Eun-young, known as Ben, a singer known for her contributions to the original soundtracks of dramas such as There’s Tomorrow, The Red Sleeve Cuff, Dear My Senior, Mr. Sunshine, and Hotel Del Luna, also confirmed her divorce on the same day.
