KUALA LUMPUR: As the divorce scandal involving Korean celebrity couple Ku Hye Sun and Ahn Jae Hyun continues to rage on in cyberspace spurred on mainly by Ku, her husband has finally taken a drastic measure.
According to Soompi, Ahn’s legal representative, Bang Jung Hyun, had released an official statement yesterday to announce the actor’s decision to file a divorce lawsuit against his wife.
The lawyer relayed an apology from Ahn that read: “I apologise for causing an uproar due to our marital relationship, which is a personal matter.”
Bang then said that they were taking a careful step at this stage and explained that Ahn would personally reveal his thoughts after the situation was settled.
Part of the statement went: “Ahn Jae Hyun is in a state in which he can’t help but prepare to take legal action. When his marriage with Ku Hye Sun is practically in ruins, there’s a limit to proving what the truth is through social media. We concluded that it’s best to file a divorce lawsuit and have the court make the judgement through legal evidence (This reflects Ahn Jae Hyun’s wishes to not file a criminal complaint against her at this stage).”
“Currently, untruthful information has become known as facts due to Ku Hye Sun’s unilateral claims on social media. Upon looking over the documents I received from Ahn Jae Hyun, I found that Ku Hye Sun’s statements are considerably exaggerated and skewed. As a result, Ahn Jae Hyun’s reputation was severely damaged, and the damage was spread to third parties.”
It was added that: “Ahn Jae Hyun hopes to end his marital relationship with Ku Hye Sun through the divorce lawsuit, and he also hopes to clear the various misunderstandings that surround him. We also request to Ku Hye Sun that she stop spreading false information through social media. Furthermore, we ask her to submit to the courts the ‘photo of (Ahn Jae Hyun) eating a late-night snack with a woman at a hotel that she mentioned yesterday on her social media.”
The statement clarified that the photo, according to Ahn, was taken with an ex-girlfriend he had dated before the marriage.
It was stated that the woman in the picture was not the actress he is currently filming a drama with.
The legal representative added: “However, Ku Hye Sun distorted (the truth) to make this photo a recent one and newly claimed that the reason behind the breakdown of their marriage is (his) affair. This is clearly false.”
“Ku Hye Sun has even mentioned a story about ‘a photo of an ex-girlfriend’ on tvN’s Newlywed Diary. To our knowledge, Ku Hye Sun currently has the photo in a USB drive. We hope that she will submit it to the courts. We hope that the truth will be revealed through an analysis of photo data records.”
“Finally, Ahn Jae Hyun wishes for the truth to be revealed. He has stated that it is unfortunate that he can only do so by taking legal action. However, in this situation in which all sorts of falsehoods and rumors are being spread, we hope that (the public) will understand that the only option he has is a divorce lawsuit.”
