Lee Si-young Shares Update Just 4 Days After Divorce Announcement — But Who Is Her Ex-Husband?

Just four days after her divorce was made public, actress Lee Si-young took to Instagram with a cheerful update—offering fans a glimpse of her current mood, and proving she’s embracing her next chapter with grace.

On March 21, Lee posted a series of photos from a recent luxury brand event with Miu Miu, writing:

“Ah, everything’s so pretty—I can’t choose! I think I spent over an hour decorating my shoes… trying this, trying that, adding initials. If I wear shoes this pretty, I feel like I’ll only end up going to beautiful places.”

The accompanying photos showed her seated by a window, smiling softly, dressed in an elegant outfit, and exuding a sense of calm and confidence. Fans praised her for staying composed and stylish amid personal changes.

Who Is Lee Si-young’s Ex-Husband?

Lee Si-young married Cho Seong-hyun, a businessman and former restaurant CEO, in September 2017, after a year-long relationship. Though not a public figure, Cho drew media attention at the time for his elite background in hospitality and business, as well as for his low-key and supportive relationship with the actress.

Just months after their wedding, Lee gave birth to their son in early 2018. Since then, she often shared glimpses of her family life online—especially her journey through motherhood and parenting.

The couple had largely kept their private life out of the spotlight, which is why the March 17 divorce announcement by Lee’s agency Ace Factory came as a surprise to many.

The agency stated, “Lee Si-young is in the process of finalizing her divorce through mutual agreement. As this is a private matter, we ask for your understanding that no further details will be shared.”

Despite the change, Lee appears to be moving forward with clarity and grace. Her latest post, filled with references to beautiful shoes and beautiful places, seemed to reflect a light-hearted determination to enjoy the present moment.

Fans flooded her comments with encouragement, praising her strength, style, and positive energy. Known for her resilience—not just as an actress but as a former national-level boxing athlete—Lee Si-young has long been admired for her tenacity and authenticity.

With her career still going strong and public support behind her, Lee seems ready to take confident steps—both literally and figuratively—into her new chapter.
