Former T-ara member Lee A Reum (formerly Han Areum) has announced news of her ongoing divorce as well as plans for remarriage.
Previously, Lee A Reum tied the knot with a non-celebrity businessman in October 2019, and she became the mother of two children. Last year, Lee A Reum and her ex-husband appeared on TVING’s “Caught Between Marriage & Divorce,” a reality show that depicts couples who are contemplating and preparing for separation.
On December 10, Lee A Reum took to Instagram to announce, “I found someone I always want to be with. He is so precious to me that I didn’t want to reveal him.” She continued, “This person is someone who taught me what happiness is when I was worn down by many things, and he is someone who has perhaps been hurt much more than me. He is the only person who ran to me when I was having a hard time even though he might have been harmed,” expressing gratitude to her special person.
Lee A Reum further revealed, “I am still in the process of filing a [divorce] lawsuit. Before meeting the person I love, I lived in such immense pain. I cannot specify, and although I have much proof to show, I will not because he is still the children’s father.”
The singer remarked, “I joked around with rude words until the end, but I think it’s time to stop if I want to stand with a clear conscience.” She added, “The meaning of ‘cheating’ is loving someone while loving another. I gave birth to my second alone, and I’ve been suffering for a long time. I’ve been struggling for a long time thinking about my children, but now I plan to live life while enjoying it.”
Lee A Reum announced, “Going forward, speculative and malicious comments will be punished severely. You are free to think, but please remember that voicing those thoughts is punishable, and I hope you make good thoughts and good judgement. So please only send comments of support and hope.”
She continued, “We will be officially registering our marriage as soon as the lawsuit is over, and we promised to get married.” She further clarified, “[He] is not letting me get a divorce even thought it has been a divorce since a few years ago. We just haven’t been able to [get the papers] signed by the court.”
Lee A Reum debuted as a member of T-ara in 2012 but left the group in 2013 due to health reasons. Recently, Lee A Reum impressed viewers through her appearance on JTBC’s “Sing Again 3.”
Congratulations to the couple!
