Last year, the drama "My Name is Kim Sam-soon" proved its past popularity for the first time in 19 years, while attention is also drawn to the activities of the members of Clazziquai.
On the 28th, a report revealed that Alex divorced his non-celebrity wife more than four years ago. According to the report, Alex ended his marriage due to personality differences and amicably concluded his marriage with a mutual agreement.
In this regard, a close associate noted to OSEN, "It is true that Alex got divorced a few years ago," confirming the divorce rumor. Since acquaintances were already aware of this fact, there were somewhat surprising reactions as the information was revealed late, drawing attention.
With Alex's divorce, Clazziquai has experienced the pain of divorce for 2 of its 3 members. Earlier, Horan revealed his divorce on Aug. 30, 2016. Horan, who married a non-celebrity working in an IT company in 2013, enjoyed three years of marriage but announced his divorce, stating they decided to respect each other's lives as they could not understand their differences.
Consequently, among netizens, the parallel theory of Clazziquai, whom we loved back in the day, brings a sense of regret. This is because recently, the representative song "SHE IS," which reminds people of Clazziquai, has garnered attention for being re-aired in the drama "My Name is Kim Sam-soon" after about 19 years.
Featuring Kim Sun-ah, Hyun Bin, Jung Ryeo-won, and Daniel Henney, this drama caused a syndrome with a viewership rating exceeding 50% when it aired in 2005. Kim Sun-ah won an acting award through this piece, while Hyun Bin and Jung Ryeo-won gained recognition as rising stars before growing into major figures.
Last December, the release of Wavve's "New Classic Project" opened the door, and the remastered "My Name is Kim Sam-soon" ranked first among new paid subscription contents on Wavve on the day of its release, demonstrating the power of a "masterpiece" even after 19 years.
Adding to that popularity, the OST by Clazziquai, titled "SHE IS," received warm affection, leaving regret regarding the paths of member Alex and Horan. The two faced controversy not only due to their divorce but also because of past drunk driving incidents. Horan stirred controversy with three instances of drunk driving, resulting in the cancellation of his license and a two-year ban on acquiring a new license.
Meanwhile, Clazziquai, which includes Alex and Horan, announced consistent activity with the release of "Love Mode" in May last year, and attention is focused on whether they can regain the fame they had during their heydays as the kings of OST amid various controversies.
Alex debuted in 2004 with the group Clazziquai, creating various hit songs and receiving much love through numerous performances and OSTs. He has also engaged in various activities by appearing in the dramas "Pasta," "Laugh, Donghae," "Hotel King," and "She is Too Lovable to Me," as well as in entertainment programs "We Got Married" and "Food Essay."
