Park Ji-yoon's agency, JDB Entertainment, released an official statement on the 31st, stating, "On October 30th, through our legal representative, Kim & Chang Law Office, we filed for divorce mediation at the Jeju District Court."


Park Ji-yoon said, "I feel sorry to suddenly share this news with those who have watched over and cared for me," and added, "After long consideration, I have decided to proceed with mediation for divorce with Mr. Choi Dong-seok."


She continued, "I do not want our children, who may be hurt by their parents' sudden situation, to be wounded a second time by unverified words and writings," and added, "I will strongly respond to rumors and false information that could harm the privacy of myself and our two children."


Meanwhile, Park Ji-yoon and Choi Dong-seok married in 2009 and have one son and one daughter. Park Ji-yoon joined KBS as part of the 30th public recruitment announcer class in 2004 and hosted programs such as 'Star Golden Bell.' After leaving KBS in 2008, she declared herself a freelancer and appeared on shows like 'Sikshin Road,' 'Ssulzun,' and 'Crime Scene.'



Choi Dong-seok is also a former KBS announcer from the 30th public recruitment class, the same as Park Ji-yoon. He hosted KBS's 'News 9' but stepped down in 2020 due to health issues and resigned in 2021 citing childcare reasons.
