Singer Kim Jong-un, a member of the mixed-gender project group Maronie who was loved for "Cocktail Love," has been confirmed to have already divorced last April.

According to StarNews investigation on the 23rd, Kim Jong-un reached a consensual divorce in April with former spouse Choi, a fellow musician two years older. In effect, approximately six months had passed between the actual divorce and the official announcement.

A source close to Kim Jong-un told StarNews regarding the reason for the delayed divorce announcement, "While matters between a couple seem like their own private affair, many people are involved and inevitably affected, so it took a long time to untangle the knots tied in various places over 20 years, and it was only finalized around shortly after Chuseok (Korean Thanksgiving)."

The source continued, "Afterward, we had to consult with the ex-spouse to organize an official stance, which led to a slight delay in the final announcement," explaining, "There was no intention to hide it."

The source also added, "Please understand that we made our own efforts to be as careful as possible so that those who would be hurt would suffer less and the extent of the hurt would be smaller. Additionally, while preparing to release music, we also prepared a YouTube band, and with recent increases in music work, we reached a situation where we could organize our minds and surroundings, allowing us to share the news of the divorce."

Previously, Kim Jong-un's agency officially announced the news of Kim Jong-un's divorce on the 22nd. Kim Jong-un married Mr. Choi in 2004 and gave birth to a son in 2011. The couple continued their marriage for approximately 20 years before reaching a consensual divorce citing personality differences, becoming legally separate individuals. It has been 22 years since their marriage. Kim Jong-un was granted custody of the child.

The agency stated, "We regret having to greet those who care for Kim Jong-un with such unfortunate news," and conveyed, "Mr./Ms. Kim Jong-un recently concluded approximately 20 years of married life through a consensual divorce after careful consideration due to personality differences, following the cooling-off period set by the court."

The agency also urged, "We have reached a conclusion to remain in a good relationship through smooth agreement," adding, "Please understand that we cannot confirm other detailed matters as they are private life issues, and we respectfully ask you to refrain from malicious comments and speculative reporting."

Kim Jong-un debuted with Maronie in 1994 and gained popularity in 1995 with songs such as 'Proposal' and 'I Love You.' Recently, Kim Jong-un appeared on KBS 1TV's 'Back to the Music' to share recent updates. Kim Jong-un is scheduled to resume activities by releasing a new song titled 'Mom Was Beautiful,' which they personally wrote lyrics for, around mid-November.
