By KTimes

Actor Lee Si-young, 43, is in the process of divorcing her husband after eight years of marriage.

Her agency, Ace Factory, confirmed on Monday, “They have mutually agreed to part ways and are currently proceeding with the divorce process. As this is a personal matter, we ask for your understanding that we cannot respond to further inquiries.”

Lee married restaurateur Cho, who is nine years her senior, in 2017 and gave birth to their first son the following year. She had previously shared glimpses of her married life on shows such as MBC’s “Home Alone” and “The Manager,” showcasing her home and family life.

Lee made her acting debut in 2008 with the drama “Urban Legends Deja Vu Season 3,” and took on her first lead role in the 2010 KBS2 drama “Becoming a Billionaire.”

Most recently, she played a former special forces firefighter in the Netflix series “Sweet Home,” released last year. In 2013, she also made headlines for winning an amateur boxing tournament.
