Myung disclosed the truth that led to the quick divorce. “While we were getting to know each other, there was an article about our relationship and I couldn’t deny the fact that we were dating, so a reporter I trust contacted me for advice, and I was told, ‘It’s better to just admit it for now,” she said.
“At the time, I was scared of it being reported on the news, and although I was young, I think I was pushed into doing it because I felt I had to take responsibility,” the actress noted.
Myung said that her marriage for a show was an error that fans pushed her into. After the wedding, she felt distant from her husband, and they had separate lives.
Three years later in 2010, the actress returned to her career with the SBS series Three Sisters after the divorce.
