Actress Lee Si Young's past remarks about her husband are making waves again after news of their divorce broke out.
On March 17, her agency Ace Factory confirmed to Xports News that Lee Si Young and her husband Jo Seung Hyun have decided to part ways. The two have already started legal proceedings for their divorce after eight years of marriage.
Lee Si Young tied the knot with restaurant entrepreneur Jo Seung Hyun in August 2017 and later welcomed their son, Jung Yoon, in January 2018. While they seemed like a happy family, things have now taken a different turn.
Following the shocking news, netizens have been revisiting Lee Si Young’s past comments about her husband from a 2021 episode of MBC’s variety show The Manager.

At that time, Lee Si Young shared that she used to go on early morning runs with singer Sean and former soccer players Lee Young Pyo and Jo Won Hee.
During the show, Lee Young Ja asked her, "Doesn't your passion for working out cause trouble with your husband?"
Lee Si Young responded, "My ideal type was always someone who could work out with me. Isn't that great?"
However, she then surprised everyone by revealing, "Before we got married, my husband used to run with me every morning. Even at 4 AM, he would come out and run with me. But after we got married, he never ran with me again and said, ‘I just don’t understand you.’”

Her story made the cast burst into laughter, and Jun Hyun Moo joked, "His goal was marriage." Comedian Yang Se Hyung added, "For him, that was just training."
Lee Si Young also shared a funny story about her husband and their son, Jung Yoon.
"My husband plays with Jung Yoon in his own way, but they fight a lot. He gets sulky. For example, when my husband says, ‘Jung Yoon, this looks delicious. Can Daddy have one?’ and then eats it, Jung Yoon gets mad and says, ‘Why did you eat mine?’ Then my husband goes, ‘I bought this with my money.’"
She continued, "Then Jung Yoon insists, ‘No, Mommy bought it!’ and my husband replies, ‘Mommy bought it, but with Daddy’s money. Actually, even this toy was bought by Daddy.’ At that point, I just tell him to stop."

Her playful family stories made everyone laugh at the time, but now, many netizens are looking back at her words in a new light. Some commented, "Did she already feel disconnected from him back then?" while others said, "Marriage really changes people."
As Lee Si Young and Jo Seung Hyun go through their divorce, many are curious about what led to their decision.
