Yulhee, formerly of Laboum, expressed her longing for her three children while in the midst of a custody lawsuit with her ex-husband Choi Min-hwan.

On the 14th, a video titled ‘A simple home-cooked meal with a friend (stir-fried squid, soybean paste stew) and a VLOG of a 5-year YouTuber’ was uploaded to the YouTube channel ‘Yulhee’s House’.

On this day, Yulhee had a great time shopping with her friend, a fellow parent.

While shopping at the mart, Yulhee said, “I bought some snacks for the babies since it‘s Baby X Day,” and bought all the snacks. She then saw the baby earmuffs and couldn’t take her eyes off them, saying, “They‘re so cute.”

After returning home, Yulhee started cooking with her friend. A friend approached Yulhee while she was cooking and asked, “Can I watch you use the knife?” and Yulhee replied confidently, “Of course. My knife skills are a work of art.”

The friend who saw Yulhee’s knife skills complimented her, saying, “She‘s a 9th-dan housewife. She’s really good at using the knife.” Yulhee then replied, “Of course. Because I was a real housewife. I‘m still a housewife and a mom,” showing her sense of responsibility.

Yulhee also revealed that she met her friend at the hospital during the meal and became close with her. Yulhee recalled when they first met, saying, “When my younger brother was hospitalized with enteritis, my friend was in the bed next to me. I was full-term pregnant and she had a 5-month-old baby.”

She continued, “When we found out we were the same age, my mom said, ’I don‘t have any friends, so be my friend,’ and that‘s how we became close. I don’t have any real friends. She expressed her affection, saying, “Of all my friends my age, this friend is my only comrade in raising children.”

Yulhee previously married FT Island’s Choi Min-hwan in January 2018 and had one son and two daughters, but divorced in December of last year. Choi Min-hwan is currently raising the children.

On the 24th of last month, Yulhee revealed a recorded phone call with Choi Min-hwan, revealing that he had visited adult entertainment establishments. The recording contained the content of Choi Min-hwan calling an acquaintance in 2022 and asking for a karaoke reservation and a female hostess.

As a result, Choi Min-hwan temporarily left FT Island and immediately dropped out of KBS2‘s parenting variety show ‘The Return of Superman’, where he was appearing with his three children.

Meanwhile, Yulhee has filed an application for mediation against Choi Min-hwan for a change in parental rights and custody, as well as a claim for alimony and division of property.
