Singer Seo In-young admits getting divorce after months of rumors

By KTimes

Singer Seo In-young, formerly of the K-pop girl group Jewelry, has been undergoing divorce proceedings with her businessman husband for over six months.

SW Entertainment, her agency, said Thursday, “It is true that Seo In-young is currently undergoing divorce proceedings.”

According to an agency official, the divorce process began in May. The official added that they would provide additional comments once the legal proceedings are finalized.

Seo married a noncelebrity businessman in February last year. However, just seven months into their marriage, divorce rumors surfaced. At the time, reports said that her husband had filed for divorce. In an interview shortly after, Seo admitted to marital issues but clarified, “It is not a divorce.”

The rumors resurfaced in March this year, with reports saying that Seo had initiated divorce proceedings against her husband. Her agency refrained from providing details, saying, “This involves her private life, so there is nothing we can share at this time.”

Now, seven months after the second round of speculation, Seo has officially acknowledged the end of her marriage. Despite personal challenges, she is preparing for a comeback with a new song created in collaboration with composer Yoon Il-sang.
