Singer Seo In Young directly expressed her feelings two years after her divorce, and remarks she made at the time of her wedding are being reexamined.
Seo In Young married a non-celebrity businessman on Feb. 26, 2023. Out of consideration for her non-celebrity husband, she held a private ceremony inviting only acquaintances.
Seo In Young's wedding drew enormous attention. Saying she longed for a wedding with an atmosphere like the movie "Twilight," Seo In Young hired event space designer Vicky Jung, regarded as the industry's top. About 10 days before the wedding she even requested a lily of the valley bouquet, which must be ordered at least three weeks in advance to secure.
Seo In Young's wedding, reported to have used about 100 million won in expenses, was carried out luxuriously. Her husband's company was busy, forcing them to cancel their honeymoon, but Seo In Young accepted that and showed a changed side of herself as the "queen of homemaking," not the formerly strong-willed Seo In Young. In particular, Seo In Young shared on lovestagram that she was enjoying a happy newlywed life, evoking envy.
But the happy marriage was broken by sad news that arrived seven months later. Reports emerged that Seo In Young's husband had filed for divorce, and after more than six months of divorce litigation they parted ways on Nov. 28, 2024.
Seo In Young spoke about her feelings in front of cameras two years after the divorce. On her YouTube channel "Seo In Young's transformation," Seo In Young read malicious comments about her marriage and divorce and said, "I didn't want to promote or I wanted to run away. But because there is someone who loves me so much, I thought I might be able to live an ordinary life without doing this work. Even if it's not a complete retirement declaration, I wanted to quietly disappear."
In particular, Seo In Young said, "Mentioning this issue is sensitive because there is another party. I'm cautious because I can only speak from my point of view, but I learned about life through that process. Quietly getting married and doing nothing didn't suit me. And I hope people don't assume that the way someone liked me so much at first would continue forever. Things can change, but if they change too quickly, I won't have time to prepare."
As Seo In Young spoke about her feelings for the first time in two years, her past remarks are also being reexamined. Before her wedding, on a variety show appearance she introduced herself as "the February bride" and said of her husband, "He didn't even know I was Seo In Young. He's not interested. He doesn't watch TV much and has no interest in celebrities. I really like his personality. He's my polar opposite. When I was young I avoided people with opposite personalities, but thinking about marriage I realized I could adapt even if he was the opposite of me."
Seo In Young once showed deep affection, saying she registered the marriage first because she feared her husband's feelings might change. But after experiencing divorce and two years later saying, "Things can change, but if they change too quickly, I won't have time to prepare," the premarital marriage registration has taken on more significance.
Meanwhile, Seo In Young debuted in July 2002 as a member of the group Jewelry.
