Ahn Jae Hyun Reveals His Side Of The Story And How Goo Hye Sun Broke Into His Apartment
Ahn Jae Hyun has personally spoken up for the first time since the news of his possible divorce with Goo Hye Sun broke out.
In his statement posted on his Instagram, he commented on his love for her, his mental hardships, and her breaking into his apartment. He began by emphasizing that their relationship started because of their love but it ultimately came to a point where they believed separation was the best option.
I loved Goo Hye Sun a lot and respected her, and we got married.
We started out liking each other, and the last 3 years of marriage was a happy time, but it was also a time that was too much for my mental capacity. We tried to improve our relationship, but it was not easy to narrow down [our differences]. So we couldn’t come to an agreement, and decided to separate. I left the house to her and the 5 pets so that she would be comfortable. After continued discussions, we agreed to a divorce on July 30.

He claimed that she was distorting the truth and hurting everyone in the process. He also denied the claims about him contacting other women on various occasions.
By removing the details of the process of the divorce, as well as the beginning and the end, the resulting truths have been distorted and are hurting the people that are involved. I can no longer stay silent after receiving suspicions and slander last night that I contacted various women while I was drunk (in Goo Hye Sun’s statement).
I did my best for our marriage as a husband, and I’ve never done anything embarrassing. I saw that she wants to protect the family. She distorted what we agreed on after a long conversation and hurt others with it. After seeing her continually release her distorted stories, I further lost any confidence to continue on our marriage.

He revealed his story to their financial disputes, where he claims that he paid Goo Hye Sun all of the amounts that she demanded but she still demanded more.
I paid the divorce settlement amount that was calculated by Goo Hye Sun. The amount of money she calculated for her statement included the price of her household chores and the donations she made when we were married. I decided to follow her calculations as she did it. It’s not because I wanted to find a reason to end my marriage with her, but I wanted to be a financially supportive husband to my wife I love.
However a few days later, she claimed ownership of the apartment we lived in together because she decided the amount I gave her was not enough.
Due to her additional demands, I had to take out loans and sell my house. I had no choice but to tell my agency.

But Goo Hye Sun had broken into his apartment while they were separated. Ahn Jae Hyun claimed that she barged in by lying to the security guard and started rummaging through his phone.
On the night of August 9, while we were living apart, she lied to the security guard that she lost her key and entered my apartment with a spare key. She started going through my phone and started to record, saying ‘I’m not trespassing since I’m your wife.’ It was so sudden and frightening as I was sleeping at the time.

He confessed that he’s been taking treatments and medicine for depression for nearly a year and a half as their marriage started turning for the worse. He explained that after everything that happened, he had to let their agency know due to their contractual agreement.
After getting married, I’ve been receiving treatment and taking anti-depression medicine for the past year and 4 months. I did my best for our marriage as a husband, and I’ve never done anything embarrassing.
I didn’t tell them so that the agency can get involved with our personal issues. I shared what was happening since I was an actor who has a contractual agreement with them.
— Ahn Jae Hyun
Lastly, he apologized to his agency, the broadcast staff, and everyone involved who were affected by their recent scandal.
I am deeply sorry to our agency, ‘My Little Old Boy’, and everyone involved in my drama who was hurt by our personal issue. I am embarrassed and only feel apologetic. And I am sorry to my wife who is hurting for sure during the recent events. But it’s hard for me to understand.
I am sincerely sorry that this all happened because I am a lacking person who couldn’t take care of his personal affairs well. I’m sorry.

Hello, this is Ahn Jae Hyun.
I am very sorry for causing a disturbance with my personal matters. I loved Goo Hye Sun a lot and respected her, and we got married. Both of us are public figures, and we really wanted to resolve these issues privately. So I tried to keep silent and accept the sudden reveal of the news. However, by removing the details of the process of the divorce as well as the beginning and the end, the resulting truths have been distorted and are hurting the people that are involved. I can no longer stay silent after receiving suspicions and slander last night that I contacted various women while I was drunk (in Goo Hye Sun’s statement).
We started out liking each other, and the last 3 years of marriage was a happy time, but it was also a time that was too much for my mental capacity. We tried to improve our relationship, but it was not easy to narrow down [our differences]. So we couldn’t come to an agreement, and decided to separate. I left the house to her and the 5 pets so that she would be comfortable. After continued discussions, we agreed to a divorce on July 30.
I paid the divorce settlement amount that was calculated by Goo Hye Sun. The amount of money she calculated for her statement included the price of her household chores and the donations she made when we were married. I decided to follow her calculations as she did it. It’s not because I wanted to find a reason to end my marriage with her, but I wanted to be a financially supportive husband to my wife who I loved. However a few days later, she claimed ownership of the apartment we lived in together because she decided the amount I gave her was not enough.
After that, I let my agency know about the divorce, and on August 8, I had a meeting with the CEO, where she tried to dissuade me from the divorce and to be wary about the timing of things.
I have not changed my mind about the divorce. On the night of August 9, while we were living apart, she lied to the security guard that she lost her key and entered my apartment with a spare key. She started going through my phone and started to record, saying ‘I’m not trespassing since I’m your wife.’ It was so sudden and frightening as I was sleeping at the time. After looking at my texts, the CEO asked if my story would be different than hers. I only responded to her texts. I did not swear at her.
That night, I thought it would be more harmful to both of us if we stay married, and once again, it strengthened my resolved to get a divorce.
A few days later, she contacted me saying that she wanted a divorce. She hired a lawyer and sent over an agreement document and the press release. She told me that she planned on submitting it to court on the 28th, so I should hire a lawyer. Due to her additional demands, I had to take out loans and sell my house. I had no choice but to tell my agency. I didn’t tell them so that the agency can get involved with our personal issues. I shared what was happening since I was an actor who has a contractual agreement with them.
