South Korean entertainer Hong Jin Kyung, who shot to international fame for hosting the dating reality show 'Single's Inferno,' recently shocked fans with news that she has divorced her husband of 22 years, businessman Kim Jung Woo. After the news broke, many fans were taken aback, but she emphasized that the two had a “mutual and peaceful separation,” maintain a good relationship, and have received support from their daughter.
Hong Jin Kyung married her husband Kim Jung Woo, a second-generation chaebol five years her senior, in 2003 after dating for five years. Their daughter Rael was born in 2010, and their originally happy family seemed perfect. According to 'Dispatch', an insider in the entertainment industry revealed: “Neither party was at fault. Their relationship was good for 22 years, and ultimately they reached a consensus of ‘living their remaining time happily, but separately’ and amicably divorced.”
Her agency, 'TN Entertainment,' also confirmed: “Hong Jin Kyung has indeed divorced, and the process was completed amicably.” Reportedly, the divorce has been finalized for some time, with mutual respect and no disputes, making the process very smooth.
Hong Jin Kyung debuted as a model in 1993 and entered the fashion world thanks to her unique aura, later transitioning to showbiz with support from the variety queen Lee Young Ja. She once acted with Jun Ji Hyun in ‘My Love from the Star’, is known to be close friends with G-Dragon, and recently participated in GD’s new variety show ‘Good Day’, showcasing her candid and humorous personality.
