Actress and Husband 'Mutually Agreed to End Their Marriage' After Only 6 Months
The divorce comes after actress Jung Joo Yeon married her husband married in March.
South Korean actress Jung Joo Yeon and her husband have called it quits. Six months after tying the knot, the Princess Aurora star's agency, NEVER DIE Entertainment, confirmed in October that Jung Joo and her non-celebrity husband, whose name has not been made public, "mutually agreed" to go their separate ways.
"It's true that last month, Jung Joo Yeon and her husband mutually agreed to end their marriage," the agency said, per Soompi and Naver. At this time, details of their split and their marriage are unclear. The former couple tied the knot in March and had been living together as a married couple, according to reports. However, NEVER DIE Entertainment said the former couple had not yet officially registered their marriage, meaning they will not have to go through legal divorce proceedings. It is unclear when exactly they separated. Jung Joo has not publicly commented on the divorce.
