Actress Lee Hye-young mentioned her divorce from Lee Sang-min of the group Rula.

On the 11th, a video titled "Lee Hye-young, in her sixth year of battling cancer, facing her fifth follow-up examination" was uploaded to the YouTube channel 'Hye-young is Unstoppable'.

In the released video, Lee Hye-young reflected on her activities over the years. She said, "It's hard. Why is my life so hard?" and added, "When did I get married for the first time? I divorced in 2005."

She continued, "From then on, I wondered how I would make a living," revealing, "Immediately after the divorce, so many debts were registered under my name that I couldn't think straight. From that time on, my life became about paying off debts."

She went on to say, "From 2006, I earned money and paid it off. It seems about seven or eight years have passed since then. During that time, I filmed dramas, worked on home shopping, published books, and did everything that made money," and added, "Once everything was resolved, I started saving money."

Lee Hye-young married Lee Sang-min in 2004 but divorced the following year. She remarried in 2011 to Boo Jae-hoon, executive vice chairman of MBK Partners, and has two daughters.

She later said, "I went to the hospital because they called me, and they told me, 'You have cancer.' I had a collapsed lung since I was young. I had been under continuous follow-up observation, and they told me it was cancer." Lee Hye-young has been battling cancer for six years since being diagnosed with lung cancer in 2021.

She said, "I thought, 'I've overcome everything, so why can't I overcome this one thing?' I took it lightly." She added, "The process of cutting between the rib bones and removing the entire lung seemed too much for me. I just kept hurting at home." She noted, "It seems there was a family history. My father passed away from stomach cancer, and my mother, though she is fine now, also had stomach cancer."
