'Let's Divorce' features Lee Min-jeong exploring the realities of marriage and divorce.

The KBS Drama channel series 'Let's Divorce' (directed by Joo Sung-woo, written by Hwang Ji-eun) is a work that follows a real-life divorce experience of a married couple who own a wedding dress shop, seeking to put an end to their exhausted marriage.

In the drama, Lee Min-jeong takes on the role of Baek Mi-young, the owner of the wedding dress shop J&White, delivering a compelling performance. In the first stills released on the 3rd, Baek Mi-young displays her professionalism as someone who loves her work while also showcasing her lovely charm with a bright smile.

However, in another still image, she reveals an uneasy gaze that heightens the drama's tension, sparking curiosity. It raises questions about what shadows may be hidden behind her happy marriage with her husband Ji Won-ho (played by Kim Ji-seok).

Regarding 'Let's Divorce,' Lee Min-jeong explained her reason for joining the project: "The realistic story of truly finding each other and true love was very appealing."

She further described the character Baek Mi-young as "someone who tries to solve everything alone, carrying sadness and pain by herself," adding, "Since I have a similar personality that doesn't like relying on others, I feel there is a high level of synchronization with the role."

Meanwhile, Lee Min-jeong put in extra effort to portray Baek Mi-young, who is both workaholic and a member of a fragile family. She stated, "I studied wedding dresses extensively and referred to many stories from actual owners who worked as co-representatives of wedding dress companies. Since the past narratives between Baek Mi-young and Ji Won-ho are heavily reflected in the drama, I wrote down many past events like diary entries and imagined them."

Speaking about her co-star Kim Ji-seok, she praised him: "Our chemistry was excellent. I thought Kim Ji-seok would fit well as Ji Won-ho, but it seems he brought out even more dimensions to the character than I expected."

Finally, Lee Min-jeong encouraged viewers to watch the series live by throwing out the keyword "another beginning" for 'Let's Divorce.' She added, "It is a story that begins again at what seems like an ending," and left a heartfelt message: "I hope many people will join Baek Mi-young on this journey."

The first episode of 'Let's Divorce,' which will air on the KBS Drama channel, will be broadcast at 11 p.m. on the 19th.
