The news of the divorce between webtoon artist Park Tae-jun, a former member of 'Pretty Boy Era', and Choi Soo-jung, a former girl group member, has been revealed late. There were reports that a partitioning lawsuit regarding property was ongoing, but this has been confirmed to be false.
Park Tae-jun said in a phone call with OSEN on the 28th, "It is true that I divorced Choi Soo-jung. This was discussed since early last year, and the divorce mediation was established in August of that year, with the paperwork completed."
Park Tae-jun and Choi Soo-jung got married in 2020 after dating for 10 years. At that time, Park Tae-jun first disclosed the marriage news on MBC's 'Radio Star', confessing, "I'm not a broadcaster, so there's no time to talk about it."
However, the two decided to go their separate ways after four years of marriage, and they had already completed the paperwork for an amicable divorce last August.
In this context, one media outlet reported, citing close acquaintances, "Park Tae-jun and Choi Soo-jung are currently undergoing a partitioning lawsuit regarding property," but Park Tae-jun explained, "That's completely false. It's not a lawsuit, it's an amicable divorce. There's no partitioning lawsuit, and we reached a mutual agreement amicably."
If what Park Tae-jun said is correct, the divorce mediation was established last August, so the partitioning should also be settled as of last August. Once the divorce mediation is established, the agreed matters between the parties are recorded in the mediation statement, which has legal effect as a final judgment.
Park Tae-jun also added that he reached an amicable agreement regarding partitioning with Choi Soo-jung during the divorce mediation process. He stated, "I didn't think there was a need to announce this. It's not good news. I also didn't want to cause any harm to the other party, so I refrained from speaking about it," explaining the reason for his silence until now.
Meanwhile, Park Tae-jun became known after appearing on ComedyTV's 'Pretty Boy Era' in 2009, and subsequently participated in shows such as 'Pretty Boy TV', 'Flower Boy Company', 'SIKSIN Road', and 'Shall We Learn How to Act?'. Starting in 2014 with the webtoon 'Appearance-Centric Society', he has serialized works such as 'Fight for Learning', 'Life is My Mess', and 'Show Me the Lucky Star!'.
Choi Soo-jung debuted as a member of the Sino-Korean girl group Lotte Girls in 2010 and later appeared in the music video for Park Tae-jun and singer Rams' song 'I Might Die Like This' the following year, showcasing their romantic chemistry. In 2019, she gained attention by appearing as Hwasa's close older sister on MBC's 'Home Alone'.
