Reporter Lee Jin Ho reported that the first person to uncover Hwang Jung Eum’s husband’s affair was their 7-year-old son.
YouTube reporter Lee Jin Ho claimed that it was Hwang Jung Eum’s son who handed her husband’s secret cell phone, which had all the evidence of his extramarital affair.
On April 4, Lee Jin Ho posted a video covering the latest incident involving actress Hwang Jung Eum and a non-celebrity woman, whom Hwang Jung Eum called out an innocent woman as her ex-husband’s mistress by mistake.
On this day, the YouTube reporter explored in detail how Hwang Jung Eum discovered her husband’s affair and the misunderstanding that led her to wrongly accuse someone else.
Hwang Jung Eum, who married Lee Young Don in 2016 and shares two children with him, recently made headlines by announcing her intention to divorce. This isn’t the first time Hwang Jung Eum publicized her plans to separate from her husband, drawing significant public attention. Despite a previous announcement, she eventually reconciled with her husband, and it appeared they had resolved their marital issues.
Recently, Hwang Jung Eum uploaded various posts hinting that her husband had cheated on her and suggested that the reason for their divorce was due to her husband’s affair. Then, on April 4, Hwang Jung Eum shared a photo of a non-celebrity woman and called her out for being her ex-husband’s mistress. However, it turned out that Hwang Jung Eum had mistaken the individual and immediately posted an apology.
Lee Jin Ho reported on this day, “I delved into why Hwang Jung Eun lost her composure and went on a rampage online. For now, it’s difficult to confirm the exact reason Hwang Jung Eum called out the non-celebrity woman but there was a clear reason why Hwang Jung Eum acted out in this manner.”
He continued, “Firstly, Hwang Jung Eum already faced a crisis in her marriage in 2021. At the time, she accepted her husband and looked past everything. It seemed she made an effort to reconcile with her husband but the recent incident occurred.”
Lee Jin Ho added, “Secondly, (her emotional rampage) is related to the way she found out about her husband’s affair. Hwang Jung Eum is said to have been unaware of her husband’s extramarital affairs, up until this year. It was said that the two focused on child-rearing and seemed to have a happy life as a family. In particular, after they reconciled their relationship, Hwang Jung Eum’s trust in her husband had significantly increased.”
The YouTuber continued, “Therefore, the incident she faced earlier this year came to her as an even greater shock. According to the information I collected from her acquaintances, Hwang Jung Eum was at home with her two children while her husband was at work. That is when her son brought her husband’s secret cell phone to her, saying, ‘This is dad’s phone.’ Hwang Jung Eum was puzzled and asked, ‘Didn’t he take his phone to work?’ When she checked the phone, she discovered that it wasn’t the usual phone that Lee Young Don carried around.”
Lee Jin Ho explained, “Hwang Jung Eum was shocked when she found that the phone had text messages and photos showing his problematic relationship (with other women). Some of these pieces of information were made public by Hwang Jung Eum herself through her social media.” The YouTube reporter concluded, “It is said that Hwang Jung Eum felt a sense of great shame because this information came from her son of all people. This is the reason she lost her composure and went on a rampage.”
