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."
