Yulhee Reflects on Personal Growth
In a recent YouTube video titled Hiking on her channel Yulheeโs House, she opened up about her personal journey, sharing insights into her life and decisions over the past year.
โI used to manage things by being alone, reading books, sleeping, or chatting with my best friend. But now, I want to relieve stress in a healthier way. When Iโm out in nature, I donโt have time for negative thoughts. Honestly, over the past year, I let a lot of things slip by. So, as this year comes to a close, I decided itโs not too late to find a healthier version of myself. I hope I can recover. I want to keep doing things I havenโt tried before to reconnect with Kim Yulhee.โ
Yulhee also reflected on her divorce and its impact on her identity.
โIn a way, divorce doesnโt change who I am, before or after. Iโm still the same person, but my situation has changed. I think I kept trying to erase myself. Maybe it was because those were painful memories, but I felt that erasing those memories would help me move forward without hurting. I thought a lot about this over the past year. ‘I donโt think I abandoned my children, but will they ever understand that? Was I too narrow-minded to get through it? If I were really committed to being their mom, should I have accepted this situation?โโ
Setting the Record Straight
Yulhee expressed confidence in her decision to divorce despite facing public criticism.
โI donโt regret the decision to divorce. Because of all the speculation and criticism, I donโt regret it. I really want to say that Iโm living my life happily without losing my role as a mother to my kids. I spoke out because I wanted to set the record straight. Iโve lived, and still live, as a mother whoโs not ashamed in front of my kids. I didnโt want to be a mom they couldnโt be proud of.โ
The singer also shared messages of encouragement for others facing similar challenges:
โAfter this happened, I received so many messages. There were so many people who shared similar pain, wounds, or situations. More than I expected. I want to encourage people, especially those who might still be struggling to find their direction. I didnโt know how to handle things back then, and thatโs why I went through what I did. Through Yulheeโs Home, I want to use my channel to encourage all of you as well.โ

Yulhee married former F.T. Island member Choi Min Hwan in 2018, and the couple has three childrenโa son and two daughters. After five years of marriage, they announced their divorce in December 2023.
