Singer and actor Seo In-young has two documents in hand: a contract with her new agency and divorce papers.
In 2023, Seo ended her previous contract with Think Entertainment and signed a contract with a new agency, SW Entertainment.
On Tuesday, media reported that Seo, a former member of the girl group Jewelry, filed a petition in court seeking divorce from her husband of one year.
The singer announced her marriage to a businessman through her then agency Think Entertainment in December 2022, and the ceremony was held in February 2023, five months after they started dating.
This is not the first time that divorce talks have come up between the two. Reports of a possible divorce surfaced in September 2023, seven months after the couple tied the knot.
Seo In Young's agency, SW Entertainment, told local media, “Seo In Young's divorce is a personal matter for her and we have no comment at this time.'' “We will issue a statement once everything has calmed down.”
According to the agency, the singer is preparing a new album.
Seo debuted in 2002 as a member of the girl group Jewelry, best known for their hit songs “Superstar” (2005) and “One More Time” (2008). She also had a successful television career with her first season of MBC's reality show “We Got Married,” and she released solo hits such as “Cinderella” (2008).
