Six years ago it was a shock to many when FTISLAND member Minhwan and former LABOUM member Yulhee announced they were in a relationship and then she later left her group, but they ended up getting married around a year later when she got pregnant. The couple then had a son born in May of 2018, and then twin girls on February of 2020.
Unfortunately, the couple have now announced on social media that they’re getting divorced.

“After much time, effort, and discussion, we have decided to support each other on separate paths. Although our journey as a couple has come to an end, our roles as parents to our children persist. Both of us are currently communicating and taking care of our children to the best of our abilities.
Following careful consideration, the children are currently living with their father after we decided that it is best for them to stay in the place where they have been living to accommodate realistic issues and minimize any psychological distress. Additionally, I, too, spend time with them frequently to ensure the absence of their mother is felt as little as possible.
I was quite worried about delivering this news, knowing that it might come as sudden and bewildering to you considering the support you all have given us. However, as this was a hard decision that we made for each other’s happiness after extensive deliberation, I hope you can watch over us with warm understanding.”
Minhwan
“I’m approaching this with caution, having arrived at a difficult decision after careful consideration. After extensive discussions, my wife and I have come to the decision to conclude our marriage.
To all those who warmly supported and watched over us when we decided to start a family at a young age, I sincerely apologize [for delivering this news].
I am also grateful and genuinely sorry to our families, team members, and the fans who supported us. As a father, I will do my utmost to fulfill my role and ensure our children do not carry any emotional scars. I will strive to greet you again with good news in the future. Thank you.”
Normally I don’t delve into this kind of relationship news, but I was definitely hoping everything was going well between them just because they had three young kids. And for that reason, whatever has happened between them, I hope they do end up finding a compromise for whatever works best for the kids involved.
