The divorce between singer-songwriter Eun-jong and Yoon Ddan-dan is escalating into a public feud, entering a new phase. Just two days after Eun-jong revealed her husband's 'continued infidelity and violence' and announced news of winning a marital infidelity lawsuit, Yoon Ddan-dan claimed 'endless verbal abuse and violence from his wife' and began to counterattack, intensifying the war over the truth.
On the 12th, Eun-jong conveyed the news of her marriage's collapse, stating on social media that she won a marital infidelity lawsuit against her husband's partner after a legal battle lasting about a year.
Eun-jong confessed that due to her husband's continued infidelity and violence, their marriage reached an irreparable situation. According to Eun-jong, even after their separation and the marital infidelity lawsuit, inappropriate exchanges were confirmed, leading her to assert that she could not remain silent. She is currently undergoing treatment for mental and physical recovery while proceeding with divorce negotiations. Eun-jong said, 'It was difficult to verify any sincere apology or reflection.'
Once, Yoon Ddan-dan expressed deep affection for Eun-jong, saying, 'Just like when I asked a troublemaker boy who had nothing to lend me 5,000 won for the bus, now I want to reach out to her and promise eternity.' This sentiment starkly contrasts with the current situation, adding to the poignancy.
Following Eun-jong's revelations, online reactions included comments such as 'I sincerely support Eun-jong,' 'It's shocking to learn that such incidents occurred behind her emotional songs,' and 'I'm glad the victim is no longer silent,' expressing disappointment toward Yoon Ddan-dan and support for Eun-jong.
Two days after Eun-jong's revelations, on the 14th, Yoon Ddan-dan announced his position through his social media, marking a new phase in the situation.
Yoon Ddan-dan claimed, 'Whenever we disagreed, there were always disputes that escalated into verbal abuse and violence from my wife,' adding, 'I acknowledge the fact that I used force during the unending verbal abuse and violence. I deeply reflect on my actions, which should not have occurred as a man and a husband.'
Yoon Ddan-dan went on to express that after marriage, managing the company and household solely with his income was burdensome, citing financial difficulties. He also claimed that Eun-jong often expressed dissatisfaction regarding her personal living expenses of over 5 million won per month and frequently made belittling remarks about him in public. Yoon Ddan-dan explained, 'My wife frequently demanded divorce, asserting that I was insufficient. Although I wanted to preserve the family since it was a marriage I chose, I felt I had to be a husband who unconditionally obeyed my wife's words, leading to mental and financial exhaustion.'
In particular, Yoon Ddan-dan acknowledged his infidelity, stating, 'I deeply reflect on having contacted another person during a weary heart,' while hinting that this act stemmed from extreme stress and fatigue. He continued to reveal that Eun-jong demanded, 'If you give me music revenue, I will grant you divorce,' handing over his cash, music rights, car, and custody of their dog. Yoon Ddan-dan claimed that Eun-jong had recently demanded an additional 20 million won, expressing, 'I have no more money to give, and I feel sorry about it.'
Once admired by the public, the divorce of the musician couple has now escalated into a war of truths between Eun-jong's claims of 'infidelity and violence' and Yoon Ddan-dan's counterclaims of 'verbal abuse, violence, and financial demands.' As the musician couple, once beloved for their emotional music, faces a complex situation reflected in conflicting statements, attention is drawn to what 'new phase' the details of their divorce will enter.
