Actress Lee Si Young is officially ending her marriage after eight years.

On March 17, her agency, Ace Factory, confirmed the news, telling Star News, "They have agreed to divorce and are currently going through legal procedures."

Lee Si Young married businessman Jo Seung Hyun in September 2017, and they welcomed a son in January 2018. Jo Seung Hyun, known as the "Little Baek Jong Won," is a well-known entrepreneur in the restaurant industry.

Now, after nearly a decade together, the couple has decided to part ways.

With the news of their divorce, many fans are curious about their child’s custody arrangements.

Lee Si Young has often shared moments with her son on Instagram, showing how much she cherishes him. However, her agency stated, "Since this is a private matter, we cannot provide further details beyond confirming the divorce."

Meanwhile, Lee Si Young’s past comments about her husband's behavior after marriage have resurfaced, sparking discussions online.

Back in 2021, when she appeared on MBC’s variety show The Manager, she shared, "Before marriage, my husband would wake up early to run with me every morning. We used to go at 4 AM, and he always joined me."

She then added, "But after we got married, he never ran with me again. Instead, he just told me, 'I don't really understand you.' Now, he just tells me to have a good run and goes back to sleep."

Many netizens are now speculating if this was an early sign of their growing distance.

On the May 1st episode of KBS 2TV’s variety show Problem Child in House, Lee Jun Young appeared alongside co-star Jung Eun Ji to promote their new KBS drama Pump Up the Healthy Love.

During the show, Lee Jun Young was asked about the most unforgettable villain he’s played. He chose his role as Han Su Gang in the film Brave Citizen.

The hosts were surprised, pointing out how kind and gentle he seems in real life. Lee Jun Young shared how he transforms for such roles.

“I try to act as bad as I can, but sometimes the director says, ‘You still look too nice.’ Then I focus even harder and adjust right away.”

He also revealed that filming one particular scene hit him hard emotionally. “My real grandmother was sick at the time,” he said.

“In one scene, there’s a grandma selling gimbap, and I ad-libbed by stubbing a cigarette out on the gimbap. I was really into character, but after filming, I just broke down. So many thoughts came to me and I started crying.”

Fans praised his dedication to acting but also felt moved by how deeply the role affected him. Lee Jun Young’s honesty gave a raw look at how even fictional roles can hit close to home.
