Singer Seo In-young shared her experience of disposing of her wedding ring after her divorce.
On the recently aired E Channel variety show "Seo In-young's Trendy Oldie," Seo and YouTuber Mimi Minu met with divorce specialist lawyer Park Min-cheol to discuss topics such as divorce compensation and property division.
During the broadcast, Seo watched a video of the wedding between soccer player Cristiano Ronaldo and his wife Georgina Rodriguez. Captivated by the rings, she expressed surprise, saying, "The diamond size is four times bigger than mine."
When Park Min-cheol chimed in, "Even one-fourth of that would be large," Seo responded with a bitter tone, "My ring was big too. But it turned out to be useless."
At this point, Mimi Minu asked, "Are wedding rings also subject to (property) division upon divorce?" Park Min-cheol explained that items received as gifts during the marriage could be included in property division if they were purchased with funds jointly accumulated by the couple.
In response, Seo expressed disbelief, saying, "What was given to me is mine, isn't it?" and advised, "I know because I tried selling diamonds; they are worthless. You should receive cash instead of diamonds."
Seo then looked at the camera and emphasized, "Everyone, things like diamonds are completely useless. Cash is king," eliciting laughter.
In the past, Seo was ranked first in a survey by a marriage information company titled "Celebrities Who Would Likely Write a Prenuptial Agreement First."
Regarding this, Seo stated, "During my peak period, I thought, 'I absolutely must write one,' but when it came to getting married, I couldn't do it and regretted it deeply," emphasizing, "You all should definitely write one."
She further noted that if she were to draft a prenuptial agreement, she would say, "I have earned over 10 billion won in the past. I will definitely include a clause stating that my money must not be touched," drawing attention.
During the broadcast, Seo also showed interest in the section on "compensation for mental suffering" while listening to the multi-hundred-billion-won divorce settlements of South Korean company presidents.
When Mimi Minu mentioned that "mental compensation is fixed at 2 billion won," Seo made a pointed joke, saying, "Mental suffering? I suffered too."
Park Min-cheol quipped, "You should have filed a claim," and Seo In-young laughed awkwardly.
Seo married a non-celebrity businessman in 2023 but mutually divorced the following year. She is currently dating Choi Ji-hoon, CEO of content creative company NP, who is six years her senior, and is preparing to remarry in the second half of this year.
