Interpreter Lee Yun Jin, publicly known as the wife of actor Lee Bum Soo, wrote a lengthy post on her SNS on March 23 KST, pleading with Lee Bum Soo to cooperate with their divorce. 

Lee Yun Jin wrote, "Evading separation by agreement, ignoring requests for consensual divorce, failure to settle during divorce mediation, it's been 10 months. My blood is drying up and my body is withering, but if the divorce goes to trial, they say it can take up to 2 years..."

She continued, "So Eul has been banned from entering the family home in Seoul solely due to the fact that she chose to attend middle school overseas. As for me, who dared to request a divorce with the head of the household, I cannot enter the home unless it is by permission and while under complete surveillance by the head. Please, just let me have my glasses and So Eul's books. I have astigmatism..."

Lee Yun Jin further wrote, "I have no one to blame. I went through with this marriage when everyone tried to stop me. So I wanted to show everyone that I was living well. The past 14-years of my marriage was very different from the refined image that I showed in the advertisements. And yet, I cannot deny that there were meaningful moments. When the man that I had promised to spend eternity with faced legal battles for tax reasons and against other civil and criminal lawsuits, I spent countless nights staying up, studying the law to protect him as his representative. While getting tossed around, I learned so much, and I'm thankful for that. I grew stronger as a person. Putting out fires and taking out the garbage, that was the work I was to fulfill in this relationship. I'm confident that I did my due part in labor, enough to pay off my rent and meals to the head of the household."

She also stated, "When a couple is struggling, you help each other out, that's a given. When times were difficult, I did not hesitate to sell off our wedding ring and gifts. When he seemed like he was going through difficult times that he could not open up to me about, I worked harder. To be honest, we overcame our financial difficulties by emptying the bank account of my own parents, who are facing seventy soon. But in return, my parents had to hear my mother-in-law insulting me to their faces, saying, 'Make sure that b***h daughter of yours stays in line.' I wanted to keep those insults, 'this b***h', 'that b***h', to myself, but in the end, I let my parents hear them too. I hurt my own parents. I've lost the right to face them."

Regarding her husband Lee Bum Soo, Lee Yun Jin wrote, "His strange and uncanny double life, his secret hobbies, all those valuables he kept hidden away with a padlock, the multiple phones he kept hidden in his socks... he went to such great lengths to deceive and betray his family. I do not care to know more. He has been stalling for the past year, evading confrontation. No one enjoys undergoing divorce. And I'm sure no one wants to turn 15-years of marriage into nothing more than gossip that is blown away in the wind. As the wife of a public figure and as the mother of my beloved children, I lived each day of my life challenging my limits." 

Finally, Lee Yun Jin said, "I'm writing this in the hopes that my shouts will finally reach that person, who will not budge no matter what, stuck in the ground like a boulder. I'm embarrassed. But knowing that our paths can continue to cross for the rest of our lives in one way or another, I implore you to open up the door to your heart. This is not something you can solve simply by cutting off monetary support and locking the doors. If there is anyone out there who can reach him, please, deliver my words of sincerity to him. I hope that my shouts will finally be heard." 

Lee Bum Soo and Lee Yun Jin married in 2010 and have a daughter and a son.

Wow.. the audicity of the mother in law . Typical korean mother in-law who always think he's son is never to blame. That it's always the daughter-in-law's fault.
