A current lawyer claimed that actress Hwang Jeong-eum may have to pay alimony for writing a post on social media that seemed to imply her husband Lee Young-don’s affair. Even if the suspicion of her affair is true, it might be considered defamation and might be punished.
Lawyer Son Jeong-hye, a family case expert, said on YTN radio’s ‘Issue & People’ on the 12th, “Mr. Hwang did not clearly post regarding her husband’s affair or cheating, but looking at the reply comments comprehensively, it can be inferred that her husband’s affair was the cause during the divorce process. “We have made it possible to do so,” he said. “Because we still punish defamation based on the facts, there is controversy over whether it would be an incident if the husband, Mr. Lee, files a complaint.”
Attorney Son said, “For example, even if you post ‘This person is a criminal,’ unless it is illegal, you are actually punished as defamation under our criminal law,” adding, “Nowadays, people post through social media, and information He explained, “According to the Communications Network Act, if you write something for the purpose of criticizing or slandering someone, you are punished as cyber defamation.”
He added, “It is not of much help in the divorce case itself. “Although I suffered from an affair, because I committed an act of defamation and infringement, there are cases where the alimony is reduced or alimony is awarded through a separate lawsuit.” “It’s emotionally difficult to go and be investigated, so I advise clients to ‘don’t post anything no matter how angry you are,’” he said.
In fact, defamation does not only apply to personal relationships such as adultery. Attorney Son said, “This clause can also be a problem if you write because you suffered damage while going to a restaurant or hospital. “This is also the case with MeToo and school violence incidents,” he said. “There are criticisms that it restricts freedom of expression too much or that it makes it vulnerable for socially disadvantaged people to publicize their issues. Therefore, there is some movement in the political world to abolish it, and it is a type of crime for which constitutional complaints are continuously filed.”

Previously, on the 21st of last month, Hwang suddenly posted several photos of her husband Lee on Instagram, causing controversy. This is because she did not usually reveal her husband’s face, and the photo was a retake of a photo of her husband taken on another cell phone. Later, while exchanging comments with a netizen, he said, “I have 1,000 times more money. Then, since I make more money and I am more prosperous, it is right for me to cheat.” “Are you going to meet me knowing that he is a cheater?” Comments such as “I met him because I didn’t know him” and “I endured it once too” hinted at Mr. Lee’s affair.
Next, Hwang’s agency, Y1 Entertainment, said, “After much consideration, Hwang Jung-eum has decided that it is difficult to maintain the marriage any longer,” and that “divorce litigation is in progress.” However, she said, “Please understand that I cannot reveal details such as the reason for the divorce because it is a private matter,” and she said, “I earnestly ask you to refrain from creating speculative rumors and provocative reports that will tarnish the reputation of the parties and their children.” did.
Meanwhile, Hwang married professional golfer and businessman Lee in 2016. They submitted an application for divorce mediation to the Seongnam Branch of the Suwon District Court in September 2020, but reunited the following year. She has two sons. Mr. Hwang is scheduled to return to SBS TV’s Friday-Saturday drama ‘Resurrection of the Seven’ next month.
