Entrepreneur and former member of the group Sechs Kies, Ko Ji-yong, announced his divorce from family medicine specialist Heo Yang-im, yet was spotted actively continuing his TikTok activities.

In the video, Ko Ji-yong added a short phrase "Ujjoo" along with a yellow heart and giraffe emoji. In the footage, he is seen wearing a pink shirt and sharing casual stories.

Ko Ji-yong posted this video and announced his separation from Heo Yang-im eight hours later on the same day. He stated, "I divorced my wife two years ago. The reason I did not disclose it until now was because I wanted to protect our son Seung-jae so he could fully accept the situation and grow up stably."

He continued, "The divorce was a decision made out of mutual respect for each other's paths and to fulfill responsibilities as adults," adding, "Seung-jae understands his parents' new relationship and is currently doing well and living stably."

He further added, "I will continue to do my best as a father. Although we are no longer married, we support each other and are getting along well."

Ko Ji-yong debuted in the entertainment industry with Sechs Kies in 1997. After the group disbanded, he retired and transformed into an entrepreneur. He later married Heo Yang-im in 2013 and welcomed their son Seung-jae the following year. The couple appeared on KBS 2TV's parenting variety program "The Return of Superman," receiving widespread affection.
