Singer-Songwriters Eun Jong and Yoon Ddan Ddan's Divorce Escalates into Public Feud
The divorce of singer-songwriters Eun Jong (은종) and Yoon Ddan Ddan (윤딴딴) has taken a dramatic turn as allegations and counterclaims emerge. Just two days after Eun Jong revealed her victory in a lawsuit against her husband for his alleged 'ongoing infidelity and violence,' Yoon Ddan Ddan responded with claims of 'endless verbal abuse and physical violence' from his wife, intensifying the public dispute.
On June 12, Eun Jong announced via social media that she had won a legal battle concerning an affair involving her husband, marking the end of their marriage. She expressed that their relationship had become irreparable due to Yoon Ddan Ddan's continuous infidelity and violence. Despite their separation and the ongoing lawsuit, Eun Jong claimed that inappropriate interactions were still occurring, prompting her to speak out. She is currently undergoing treatment for her mental and physical recovery while proceeding with the divorce process, stating, "It has been difficult to see any sincere apology or reflection from him."
Yoon Ddan Ddan had previously expressed deep affection for Eun Jong during their marriage, recalling a moment when he offered her help as a struggling boy, contrasting sharply with the current situation.
Following Eun Jong's revelations, social media erupted with support for her, with comments like, "I truly support Eun Jong," and "It's shocking to learn about such issues behind her emotional songs."
On June 14, just two days after Eun Jong's statements, Yoon Ddan Ddan took to social media to share his perspective, marking a new phase in the unfolding drama. He acknowledged that their disagreements often escalated into extreme conflicts, admitting to using physical force in response to his wife's verbal and physical attacks. He expressed deep remorse for his actions, recognizing that they were unacceptable for a husband.
Yoon Ddan Ddan also shared his struggles with financial burdens after their marriage, stating that he found it challenging to support both his company and family solely on his income. He claimed that Eun Jong often criticized him publicly and demanded a monthly allowance exceeding 5 million KRW, which he found difficult to meet. He described feeling mentally and financially exhausted, as Eun Jong frequently threatened divorce, despite his efforts to maintain their family.
He further admitted to having communicated with another person during a period of stress and fatigue, acknowledging his infidelity but attributing it to overwhelming pressure. Yoon Ddan Ddan alleged that Eun Jong had demanded a share of his income and assets in exchange for agreeing to the divorce, including cash, music rights, and custody of their pet. He claimed that she recently requested an additional 20 million KRW, stating, "I have no more money to give, and I feel sorry about it."
The divorce of this once-envied musician couple has now devolved into a bitter conflict, with Eun Jong's claims of 'infidelity and violence' clashing against Yoon Ddan Ddan's counterclaims of 'verbal abuse and financial demands.' As the situation continues to unfold, many are watching closely to see how this public feud will develop further.
