Lee Si-young then recalled, "I told her, 'Do it like when you fight with your husband!' saying, 'Just like when you are with a friend, do it your way. Release your stress here, just do it,' and she particularly mentioned, 'You've fought before. You've fought a lot. Just do it like that!' but she said she has never fought in her life, which shocked me."
Gi Eun-se also chimed in, "That's right, I've never yelled before," further highlighting the discussion.
Lee Si-young married a businessman nine years her senior in 2017. Her husband gained attention as a CEO in the food industry, successfully running a franchise with annual sales of 2.5 billion won. The sudden news of the divorce has also shocked netizens.
