Director Jo Barun and actress Kim Bora, who have faced a split, are drawing attention with a significant social media post following their divorce announcement.
On the 10th, Kim Bora shared photos related to the 26th Jeonju International Film Festival, which concluded on the 9th, stating "The End" on her social media. She co-hosted the closing ceremony alongside actor Kang Gil-woo.
The phrase "The End" signifies not only the conclusion of the Jeonju International Film Festival but, coincidentally, overlaps with the end of her marriage, catching attention.
In the photos shared, Kim Bora is seen smiling brightly in front of the waiting room. It is hard to believe that these photos were shared after her divorce announcement, as she appears to be living her daily life as usual.
Following the news of Kim Bora's divorce, fans are visiting her social media to offer their support. Netizens have responded with comments such as "Stay strong," "May you walk only on flower paths," and "I’m always cheering for you."
On this day, Kim Bora's agency, Noon Company, stated, "We are delivering an official position regarding actress Kim Bora's divorce. First, we sincerely apologize for conveying such news to many who have sent warm support."
They continued, "Actress Kim Bora has proceeded with the divorce process amicably with mutual agreement after thorough and careful discussions, and all procedures have recently been completed," and urged to refrain from indiscriminate speculation, sensational reporting, and the spread of false information.
Kim Bora and director Jo Barun got married in June 2024. They became a couple after collaborating as director and actress in the 2021 film 'Gwaengimanseon' and married after three years of dating. However, they marked the end of their marriage just 11 months later.
Meanwhile, Kim Bora began her acting career in 2005 through the drama 'Wedding' and has since appeared in films such as 'The Mayor and the Governor,' 'Legends of the Ghosts,' 'Monster,' 'Time Traveler,' 'Goodbye Summer,' 'Moral Sense,' 'Ghost of Ok-su Station,' and dramas including 'Jungle Fish 2,' 'The Aroma of a Woman,' 'Sky Castle,' 'Her Private Life,' and 'Flowers Blooming on Sand.'
Director Jo Barun won the Korean Fantastic Short Film Award at the 21st Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival in 2017 and has directed films such as 'Vibration,' 'Gang,' 'Blow, Wind of the Sword,' and 'Gwaengimanseon.'
