Singer-songwriter Yoon Ddan Ddan has expressed his position regarding the revelation made by his wife, Eun Jong, who is currently undergoing divorce proceedings.

On the 14th, Yoon Ddan Ddan stated on social media, “When our opinions differed, there were always disputes that escalated, accompanied by my wife's verbal and physical abuse. During those times, I tried to leave the situation and even attempted to mediate, but my wife always followed me until her anger subsided, resulting in continued verbal and physical abuse. I acknowledge the fact that I resorted to violence amidst the relentless verbal and physical abuse. As a man and as a husband, I deeply regret my actions that I should not have taken.

He continued, “After getting married, I had to bear many expenditures at home and in the company, which solely relied on Yoon Ddan Ddan's revenue, and it was quite burdensome. However, my wife always complained that the monthly personal living expenses, including salary, were more than 5 million won, and despite my efforts to manage most of the household chores and financial responsibilities, my wife frequently compared me to others and often belittled me in front of people. She constantly demanded a divorce, citing my inadequacies, but since I had chosen this marriage, I tried my best to protect our home. Whenever I slightly deviated from my wife's statements, I faced a backlash of 10 to 100 times the words, so I had to be a husband who unconditionally listened to my wife's words. In that process, I lost a lot of my ego and my self-esteem plummeted, leaving me exhausted both mentally and financially.

Yoon Ddan Ddan said, “I deeply reflect on my actions without any excuses for having communicated with another person while feeling exhausted. I sincerely apologize to my wife, who must have been deeply hurt by my actions. However, I no longer had the confidence to maintain our marriage, and despite any apologies, my wife continued to demand more apologies.” He added, “I ended up giving away all my cash, half of my music rights, my car, and custody of my pet dog, Dae-gi for the statement, ‘If you give me the music revenue, I will divorce you.’ Recently, my wife has demanded an additional 20 million won, but I have no more money to give, and I feel sorry. People say you don’t change, but I have actually changed a lot over my life. I have lived with the intent to be a better person tomorrow than I was yesterday, and that desire remains unchanged. I promise that I will become someone who will not repeat the same mistakes again.

Yoon Ddan Ddan and Eun Jong got married in 2022. However, recently Eun Jong stated, “The affair lawsuit my husband filed against someone was concluded with a victory after about a year of legal disputes. Currently, I am undergoing treatment for mental and physical recovery,” noting that she decided to divorce due to conflicts and wounds that have persisted since their dating days and the repeated pain after marriage.

Below is the full statement from Yoon Ddan Ddan

Hello, this is Yoon Ddan Ddan.

First of all, I sincerely apologize to

many fans and those around me who have been disappointed in me because of this incident.

When our opinions differed, there were always disputes that escalated, accompanied by my wife's verbal and physical abuse.

During those times, I tried to leave the situation and even attempted to mediate,

but my wife always followed me until her anger subsided, resulting in continued verbal and physical abuse.

I acknowledge the fact that I resorted to violence amidst the relentless verbal and physical abuse.

As a man and as a husband, I deeply regret my actions that I should not have taken.

Contrary to the image that has been portrayed, this was not a normal married life.

After getting married, I had to bear many expenditures at home and in the company, which solely relied on Yoon Ddan Ddan's revenue.

These expenditures were quite burdensome.

However, my wife always complained that the monthly personal living expenses, including salary, were more than 5 million won,

Despite my efforts to manage most of the household chores and financial responsibilities,

my wife frequently compared me to others and often belittled me in front of people.

Citing my inadequacies, my wife constantly demanded a divorce,

and since I had chosen this marriage, I repeatedly expressed my desire to preserve our family.

Whenever I slightly deviated from my wife's statements, I faced a backlash of 10 to 100 times the words,

so I had to be a husband who unconditionally listened to my wife's words.

In that process, I lost a lot of my ego and my self-esteem plummeted,

leaving me exhausted both mentally and financially.

In the midst of my exhaustion, I communicated with another person,

without any excuses I deeply reflect on my actions.

I sincerely apologize to my wife, who must have been deeply hurt by my actions.

However, I no longer had the confidence to maintain our marriage,

and despite any apologies, my wife continued to demand more apologies.

For the statement, ‘If you give me the music revenue, I will divorce you,’ I ended up giving away all my cash, half of my music rights, my car, and custody of my pet dog, Dae-gi.

Recently, my wife has demanded an additional 20 million won, but I have no more money to give, and I feel sorry.

People say you don’t change, but I have actually changed a lot over my life.

I have lived with the intent to be a better person tomorrow than I was yesterday, and that desire remains unchanged.

I promise that I will become someone who will not repeat the same mistakes again.

I sincerely apologize again to those who have supported me during this time and to those who have found comfort through my music,

and if even one person still supports me,

I will do my best to handle and live my future life.

Furthermore, I want to thank those friends who have supported me and been on my side despite my mistakes,

and once again, I deeply apologize to many who have been greatly disappointed by this news.
