'Love Catcher' contestant Kim Ji-yeon directly shared updates on her divorce lawsuit.

Kim Ji-yeon, on April 30, released a video titled "Sharing Recent Updates (feat. Laminate, Divorce Lawsuit, TV Appearances, Seeding Ggung, etc.)" through her YouTube channel 'Haru Ji-yeon', bringing up the topic of her recent divorce lawsuit.

Kim Ji-yeon first stated, "It seems the divorce lawsuit is going well. There was a recent argument session, and after it ended, my lawyer sent me a summary via KakaoTalk about what happened. I felt so reassured that I'm not really worried. There's nothing to worry about anyway."

She continued, "There are really many interesting things. It's not about belittling the other party, but if I just talk about my side, there was a lot of evidence. So when my lawyer asked me to send some evidence, I excitedly sent a lot. 'I have this as evidence too, should I send it?' When I did that, the lawyer said it was fine. They already had too much, so they said I didn't need to send more evidence."

Kim Ji-yeon said, "We haven't even reached the stage where people say who won, who lost, who did well or poorly. If I say I'm not worried, that would be a lie. But if you just look at me, it's fine. I am an adult anyway, and no one held a knife to me or threatened me. Since I chose this path, I can handle it, but every time I see a baby, my heart feels a bit heavy."

Earlier, on December 24, 2025, Kim Ji-yeon gathered attention by communicating with fans on 'Mumul Time' and giving answers that seemed to hint at her divorce and breakup with Chung Cheol-won.

Kim Ji-yeon is a graduate of the Dance Department at Hanyang University and gained recognition by appearing on the Mnet dating reality program 'Love Catcher' in 2018. At the time, she received great love from viewers for her innocent appearance and honest charm.

Chung Cheol-won was drafted by the Doosan Bears in the 2nd round, 20th pick of the 2018 KBO Rookie Draft. He debuted in the first division in 2022, the first year of his KBO Shin In-wang-eul (수상) career, and was traded to Lotte after the 2024 season ended. In his first year with Lotte last year, he served as a key part of the bullpen, recording 75 games, 8 wins, 3 losses, 21 holds, an ERA of 4.24, 70 innings, and 55 strikeouts in front of closer Kim Won-joong.

Kim Ji-yeon and Chung Cheol-won first announced their pregnancy before marriage and welcomed their first son in August 2025. The two later held a wedding ceremony at an unspecified location in Seoul on December 14, 2025, about four months after childbirth, officially becoming a married couple. However, they faced a crisis of breakdown just over a month into their marriage.

Previously, Haidden Law Firm, which represents Kim Ji-yeon, stated, "Various speculative rumors are currently circulating regarding this case, and many instances have been confirmed where false information is included, causing secondary damage. In particular, since Player Chung Cheol-won's side has also mentioned custody and other matters through legal counsel, we wish to express an official statement on behalf of Ms. Kim Ji-yeon." They added, "Ms. Kim Ji-yeon has endured continuous pain due to domestic violence and other issues while raising a young child after marriage. Additionally, many people have reported circumstances that raise suspicion of Player Chung Cheol-won's recent infidelity."

They continued, "Nevertheless, Kim Ji-yeon has tried to resolve the issue in the most amicable way possible for the sake of her child and to maintain the marital relationship. However, she feels deeply frustrated that after the child's father left home and stopped paying child support, he has begun mentioning divorce and custody through legal counsel. Going forward, in all procedures, we will prioritize protecting the child and safeguarding custody rights, and we plan to use all legal means necessary to achieve this. This case is purely a personal matter, and we earnestly request your cooperation to ensure that no harm comes to Player Chung Cheol-won's affiliated team or fellow players."
