Couples say “I do” in the hopes that they’ll share a lifetime of love together, but unfortunately, that isn’t the case for everyone. From K-Pop idols to actors, these are 5 of the shortest Korean celebrity marriages ever.
5. Seo In Young
In 2024, former Jewelry member Seo In Young (also known as Elly) parted ways with her husband after 13 months of marriage. Seo In Young confirmed the news after news outlets previously reported that her husband had filed for divorce.
I am shocked after learning of our divorce through articles. Recently, my husband told me that we weren’t a good fit for one another and that he wanted to break up, but we have never directly talked about a divorce.
I am a little shocked right now, so I think I need to figure out what’s going on. I have no plans to divorce my husband. Nothing bad happened between us. I am going to have to talk to him further
— Seo In Young
4. Heo Dong Won
In 2024, The Glory actor Heo Dong Won and his wife divorced after one year of marriage. According to news reports, Heo deliberated for a long time before making the decision.
It is true he is getting a divorce. Please understand it is difficult to respond further as it deals with the actor’s private life.

3. Former Topp Dogg Member P-Goon And Former Rania Member Yumin
Six months after tying the knot on August 25, 2018, Yumin filed for divorce. Yumin, who’d given birth to their child during their short marriage, revealed that she and P-Goon had been dealing with “marital conflict” that continued to grow over time.
During the time I was married, our marital conflict kept on growing larger, and last week, we agreed on a divorce.
However a few days later, he said he had changed his mind, and he wanted some time to think about it. Afterwards, he told me what he had on his mind, about getting a divorce.
I have a lot to say, but I will say things one at a time as I get things sorted out. For now, I am currently separated from P-Goon and I am raising our child. I don’t want the media to spread things that are not true.
— Yumin
2. Myung Se Bin and Kang Ho Sung
In August 2007, actress Myung Se Bin married a lawyer, Kang Ho Sung. Five months after saying “I do,” the couple filed for divorce. In a statement to the media, the ex-couple–who were still on good terms–revealed that their love had turned to indifference and that they had parted ways due to irreconcilable differences.
1. Lee Min Young and Lee Chan
Precious Family co-stars Lee Min Young and Lee Chan got married on December 10, 2006. 12 days later, their marriage ended in domestic violence that resulted in Min Young’s hospitalization and miscarriage.
Lee Chan received a two-year suspended prison sentence for assaulting Lee Min Young in their car during an argument.
We decided to order him to do community service instead of imprisonment because he had no similar criminal record, confessed what he had done and the violence was unpremeditated and took place during altercations between the two.
