Actress Uhm Ji Won Officially Announces Divorce With Her Husband

Korean Actress Uhm Ji Won posted on her YouTube community channel on Tuesday that she has officially divorced her husband. Their marriage lasted for seven years.

She made a decision to announce it on her own YouTube channel because she feels that she is closer and more personal with her fans on this platform. She openly broke the news to everyone, saying: 

"Hello, my subscribers. This is actress Uhm Ji Won. I feel a lot closer to you all after posting here on my channel, sharing my everyday life with you. Some of you have asked me about my significant other but to be frank, I couldn't really answer that question. 

We are grateful to have each other in our lives, but we have reached a conclusion that being friends with each other is better for both of us than to remain as a married couple. We are still on good terms, keeping in touch and rooting for each other's career, but it has been quite some time since I have been living in Seoul while he lives in Vietnam. 

I want to continue sharing a lot with you on this platform so I worked up my courage to speak up. I understand this may be a surprise to you. However, I plead with you to not change your thoughts about me as this happened a while ago and I have been working hard as a person and the actress Uhm Ji Won.

Thank you."
