Tak Jae Hoon responded to the rumors and reports on his divorce during an interview with a media outlet on the 31st, sharing, "But life is like this for everyone... Life doesn't always go the way you want it to... I am most worried about my children. They will be hurt by this... It's overwhelming for such difficult things to go through at once."

Tak Jae Hoon previously received a suspended prison sentence of six months for illegal gambling last December and went on hiatus from variety shows afterwards. During that time, it was belatedly reported that Tak Jae Hoon and his wife filed for divorce back in June due to irreconcilable differences.

The couple tied the knot in 2001 and have one son and daughter together.
