To the great shock of fans, musician Seo Tai-ji and actress Lee Ji-ah are in a divorce suit, Sports Seoul reported Thursday.
Seo, the media-shy enfant terrible of Korean hard rock, is famous for leading a secretive life but the report that he is married shocked the nation via cyberspace.The report is all the more shocking because Lee created top headlines last month when heartthrob actor Jung Woo-sung admitted to having a special relationship with Lee. Jung and Lee starred together in recent SBS spy drama “ATHENA: Goddess of War.”
“The divorce suit became known on April 18 when the Seoul Family Court held the second trial of their case. Lee Ji-ah initiated the lawsuit in January, asking Seo Tai-ji for settlement and division of property,” the report said.
“The two sides have had two trials in March and in April.”
The report also said that the relationship between Seo and Lee was hinted at in March 2009, when Lee went to Seo’s concert at the Olympic Park.
Since her 2004 debut in a TV commercial, Lee’s personal profile has hardly been known to the public, which is why Lee and Seo were able to keep their marriage and the reported divorce suit a secret.
It was not known when and where the two were allegedly married but news reports said the ceremony took place in 1997.
Seo debuted in 1992 by leading boy band Seo Taiji & Boys and the group’s title song “I Know” became a major hit. After disbanding the group in 1996, Seo announced that he would not return to the K-pop scene but made a comeback in 1998. Since 1998, Seo has been releasing albums and enjoys a fan following.
