The divorce between Ahn Jae Hyun and Goo Hye Sun is back in the spotlight after netizens rediscovered their old list of marriage rules. The couple, who married in 2016 and divorced in 2019, had created a handwritten agreement outlining expectations for their relationship. The list, which recently resurfaced online, shows a stark contrast in rules for each partner, leading to mixed reactions.
Many netizens are questioning the fairness of the rules, with some calling them basic expectations while others see them as overly controlling. The document, signed by both actors, has reignited discussions about their troubled marriage and the reasons behind their separation.
The Marriage Rules That Have Gone Viral
The list, written in Korean, details specific guidelines for Ahn Jae Hyun while leaving Goo Hye Sun with no written obligations. The rules for Ahn Jae Hyun include:
- Do not drink past 11 p.m. when outside.
- Avoid excessive drinking to the point of passing out.
- Do not act stubborn or hurt others.
- Clean up clothes, dishes, and laundry properly.
- No yelling, slapping, or violence even when drunk.
- Return home by midnight unless filming.
- Clean the cat’s litter box once a week.
- Be mindful of words, especially about others.
- Put shoes away properly.
Meanwhile, Goo Hye Sun’s side of the agreement was left blank, with no rules listed for her. The imbalance has drawn strong reactions from online communities, with many interpreting it as a sign of an unequal relationship.
Netizens Share Mixed Reactions
The rediscovery of the list has led to heated debates on social media and forums. Some netizens believe the rules are reasonable, while others argue they reveal deeper issues in the marriage.
“But…aren’t those just things that should be expected? Not things that should have to be written out as rules?”
“To be honest, I think this alone would have been enough to justify a divorce. Some rules are necessary, but you have to accommodate each other.”
“It is visually surprising that one side has nothing and the other is full of rules. If these were things Ahn Jae Hyun already struggled with, I understand Goo Hye Sun’s side.”
“It is true that it is visually surprising that one side has nothing and the other side is full of rules, but if you look at the actual content, it is so obvious… If this was written because these were things that already needed to be changed, I think I empathize with Goo Hye Sun more here”
“Why is this suddenly being revealed…”
“If these were all common rules, it would be fine, but it’s a problem because they only apply to one person… With that and the controversies that have come up between them so far, I can’t imagine what their married life was like”
Some defended the list, stating that the rules were basic courtesy.
“Are those rules really too much to ask? It’s just basic manners.”
“If he had drinking or cleanliness issues, writing them down makes sense.”
Others speculated that the rules were created after repeated issues, suggesting Ahn Jae Hyun may have had habits that needed correcting.
Background of Ahn Jae Hyun and Goo Hye Sun’s Relationship
The couple met while filming the 2016 drama “Blood” and married the same year. Their relationship was initially seen as a fairytale romance, but rumors of trouble began surfacing in 2019.
Their divorce was messy, with public accusations from both sides. Goo Hye Sun claimed Ahn Jae Hyun was emotionally distant and wanted out of the marriage, while he denied the allegations. The legal battle lasted months before their divorce was finalized in 2019.
Since then, both actors have moved on with their careers. Ahn Jae Hyun has continued acting, while Goo Hye Sun has focused on art and directing. However, their past marriage remains a topic of interest, especially with old details like this list resurfacing.
Why Is This List Making Waves Now?
The document gained attention after a Korean online community reposted it, leading to international discussions. Many netizens are analyzing it in hindsight, given what is now known about their divorce.
Some believe the rules reflect controlling behavior, while others argue they were necessary boundaries. The fact that only one partner had written rules has particularly stood out, with many calling it unfair.
“These should have been joint rules for both to follow.”
“Ahn Jae Hyun’s rules are at a level where they shouldn’t have gotten married.”
The discussion has also brought up broader conversations about marriage expectations and how couples should balance responsibilities.
How Have Ahn Jae Hyun and Goo Hye Sun Responded?
Neither actor has publicly commented on the resurfaced list. Both have stayed silent on social media, avoiding the renewed attention.
Fans are divided, with some supporting Goo Hye Sun and others defending Ahn Jae Hyun. The debate shows how public perceptions of their divorce remain polarized even years later.
