[All] Hong Jin-kyung's divorce: Why? It hints at a possible separation between her husband, Kim Jung-woo.

Hong Jin-kyung's divorce is official! Why did she end her 22-year marriage with husband Kim Jung-woo? From hints of separation to YouTube confessions of divorce, we've laid out the real reason and their current relationship.

 

1. Where did Hong Jin-kyung reveal her divorce?

 

On August 6, 2025, Hong Jin-kyung appeared on the YouTube channel "Jung Sun-hee Left Home" and quietly confessed the end of her 22-year marriage. She explained the situation by saying, "Rael and her father divorced. We're doing well now, and it wasn't until we became strangers that we found true friendship." As someone who rarely shared personal stories, the fact that she brought this up in front of her close friend, Jung Sun-hee, was quite striking.

 

 

2. What was the reason for the divorce?

 

While Hong Jin-kyung didn't specify the reason for the divorce, she stated, "The biggest reason was that I no longer had OOO." While this comment was edited out, it's being interpreted as signifying the loss of emotional connection between the couple. Hong Jin-kyung made it clear that the divorce was a mutually respectful decision, stating, "It wasn't anyone's fault, but rather a desire to live differently."

 

 

3. Was there any hint of divorce during your broadcast activities?

 

Even before her divorce announcement, Hong Jin-kyung made remarks on several broadcasts that seemed to hint at divorce. On YouTube's "Study King Real Genius," she confessed, "I haven't had a model marriage," and on a past broadcast, she even said, "If I were born again, I don't think I'd get married." While these remarks were laughable at the time, looking back, they were traces of her contemplating divorce.

 

4. Who is your husband, Kim Jung-woo?

 

Hong Jin-kyung's ex-husband, Kim Jung-woo, is a businessman who graduated from Kyung Hee University's Department of Physical Education and is five years older than Hong Jin-kyung. His mother is the chairman of a corporate foundation, and his father is also a prominent businessperson. The couple first met in Apgujeong-dong in 1998, began dating, married in 2003, and had their daughter, Lael, in 2010. While Kim Jung-woo rarely appears on television, he is known as a quiet, supportive spouse who has been with Hong Jin-kyung for many years.

 

5. Why was the separation date and announcement delayed?

 

The divorce was finalized several months ago, but the official announcement was postponed. The reason was due to their daughter, Rael. Hong Jin-kyung explained the family's consideration, saying, "My mother-in-law asked me to wait until Rael was older." Ultimately, after reporters and her agency continued to press for coverage, Hong Jin-kyung decided to speak out on her own.

 

 

 

6. Family relationships that remain intact after divorce

 

What surprised many fans was the couple's relationship after the divorce. Hong Jin-kyung said, "They come home often, and we often have meals together. My mom and mother-in-law get along almost like Hollywood stars," revealing that their family bond remains strong. Their decision to remain good friends without holding grudges is being cited as a prime example of a "cool divorce."
