It was also reported that they did not attend the mediation, and only their legal representatives appeared in court.
If you divorce by agreement, both parties must attend court together, making it easier to be exposed to the public. With mediation, only the legal representatives need to attend. That’s why most celebrities divorce strategically through mediation.

Jiyeon’s legal representative stated last month, “Both sides were unable to overcome their differences and have agreed to divorce after living separately, and filed a divorce application with the court.”
Previously, rumors about the couple’s divorce started after a baseball commentator mentioned it. Hwang was also spotted out late at night, causing the divorce rumors to ignite even more.
