Following 16th season Ok-soon from "I Am Single" announcing the end of her remarriage just five months after declaring it, she has once again clarified that while a marriage registration was filed, no divorce has occurred, sparking ongoing debate.

On the 20th, 16th season Ok-soon stated, "In March, I shared news of my marriage and also mentioned that we decided not to hold a wedding ceremony. At that time, we did file for marriage registration, but after hearing our parents' advice, we decided to cancel it."

She explained, "After informing both families about the marriage, our parents, who had experienced significant pain during their own past marriages, urged their daughter not to rush and to think carefully. Considering our parents' concerns and emotional wounds, we decided to cancel the marriage registration."

Ok-soon added, "Even after that, we continued to live well together as usual. As time passed, we gradually found differences in our compatibility, tried to adjust to each other, and had many conversations. This was not due to anyone's fault, nor did it end with resentment or negative feelings toward one another. We are grateful for the time we shared and the love we received from each other. Now, sincerely wishing each other greater happiness in their own paths, we have decided to part ways amicably."

Later, regarding rumors of a second divorce, 16th season Ok-soon clarified, "After filing the marriage registration, I followed my parents' advice and immediately decided to cancel it. We lived well afterward but eventually parted due to incompatibilities. Therefore, describing this as a 'second divorce' is factually incorrect."

Previously, 16th season Ok-soon had stated, "In March, I shared news of my marriage and also mentioned that we decided not to hold a wedding ceremony. At that time, we did file for marriage registration, but after hearing our parents' advice, we decided to cancel it."

She explained, "After informing both families about the marriage, our parents, who had experienced significant pain during their own past marriages, urged their daughter not to rush and to think carefully. Considering our parents' concerns and emotional wounds, we decided to cancel the marriage registration."

Ok-soon added, "Even after that, we continued to live well together as usual. As time passed, we gradually found differences in our compatibility, tried to adjust to each other, and had many conversations. This was not due to anyone's fault, nor did it end with resentment or negative feelings toward one another. We are grateful for the time we shared and the love we received from each other. Now, sincerely wishing each other greater happiness in their own paths, we have decided to part ways amicably."

However, debate continues over 16th season Ok-soon's statement that although she filed a marriage registration and immediately planned to cancel it, she insists "it is not a divorce."

In South Korea, once a marriage registration is submitted, it cannot be canceled at will. To annul a marriage, a court ruling from the Family Court is required, with valid grounds including fraud, coercion, underage marriage (under 18), or incestuous unions. Yet, regarding her statement about filing and then canceling the marriage registration, 16th season Ok-soon has offered no specific details, instead sharing only messages of support directed at herself.

16th season Ok-soon appeared on a special episode of "I Am Single" focused on divorced individuals and introduced herself as a painter born in 1988.

Later, in early July 2025, 16th season Ok-soon revealed she had found a new boyfriend alongside an ultrasound photo. She then announced, "We have officially become a real couple. Moving forward, we will take deeper responsibility for each other's lives." She shared her marriage registration document and wedding rings, adding, "I love you, oppa♥ What I feel most closely these days is how much responsibility a person must carry in life. Your quiet perseverance has taught me so much from the sidelines, which is why I respect you even more," expressing both affection and admiration for her husband.
