Hwang Jung Eum Finally Officially Divorced, The 21 Billion Asset Freezing Drama Ends Like This

Kapanlagi.com - Hwang Jung Eum has officially ended her marriage with Lee Young Don. The divorce news, which has long been a topic of discussion, was confirmed by her agency, Y.ONE Entertainment, on May 26, 2025. This divorce marks the final chapter of a conflict that has lasted for years since the couple decided to separate again in early 2024.

In the divorce process, the public also highlighted the freezing of assets worth 1.8 billion KRW or approximately 21 billion IDR that was carried out against the property owned by Hwang Jung Eum. This seizure occurred following a refund lawsuit from Lee Young Don's side and was done as a precautionary measure in the division of joint assets. The property in question is located in the Seongnae-dong area of Seoul.

In addition to the divorce matters, Hwang Jung Eum is currently also facing a separate legal process related to allegations of embezzlement of funds from her personal company. The agency expressed apologies for the public's concerns arising from this series of cases and emphasized that they are committed to resolving these legal issues as soon as possible. See the full explanation below.

Y.ONE Entertainment announced that the divorce process between Hwang Jung Eum and Lee Young Don has been peacefully finalized through a court mediation decision. This legal process marks the end of their household dynamics, which had previously failed to divorce in the past.

This decision marks the end of a legal relationship that can no longer be maintained, after both decided to officially separate in early 2024. With this legal decision, their status as husband and wife has been permanently revoked.

2. Assets Worth Rp21 Billion Were Temporarily Frozen

In March, Lee Young Don's company Geoam Core sued Hwang Jung Eum regarding a refund of 157 million KRW. As part of the legal efforts, a request for a temporary freeze on Hwang Jung Eum's property assets in Seoul was made as a precautionary measure.

This issue garnered public attention due to the amount of assets involved and its relation to the divorce process. However, this legal action was taken as part of the standard procedure in property disputes and does not reflect any additional conflict beyond the civil realm.

3. Clarification on Asset Seizure

The agency explained that the seizure of property was carried out as part of the process of dividing joint assets between Hwang Jung Eum and Lee Young Don. This step is temporary and is part of the usual procedures in divorce cases involving asset ownership.

Once the court ratifies the divorce decision, the asset freeze will be automatically lifted. With no legal ties remaining between the two, the basis for maintaining the asset seizure is no longer relevant, thus restoring the status of the property.

4. The Journey of This Couple's Relationship Since 2016

Hwang Jung Eum married Lee Young Don in 2016, a former professional golfer turned businessman. From this marriage, the couple was blessed with two sons and had been in the public spotlight due to their seemingly harmonious relationship.

However, in 2020, they filed for divorce but later decided to reconcile. Unresolved conflicts eventually led them to file for divorce again in early 2024, which has now officially and legally ended.

5. Another Legal Case: Allegations of Embezzlement

Outside of domestic conflicts, Hwang Jung Eum is also facing legal proceedings over allegations of embezzlement involving her private company. This case adds pressure to her personal life, although her agency assures that they will cooperate in resolving the legal process.

The agency stated that they regret causing public concern over the actress's personal issues. A full commitment is given to resolve this legal matter as soon as possible and to maintain Hwang Jung Eum's reputation in the eyes of the public.
