Once upon a time, a successful businessman and a pretty actress fell in love, got married and had a child. The two live happily for about four years and filed for divorce. That successful businessman was CEO Kim of Fantom Entertainment and that pretty actress was Bad Couple star Shin Eunkyung (34).
Shin confirmed that she recently filed for divorce and all she wants from her husband is the custody of their son. Shin’s divorce, among many, prove that marrying a loaded husband to live happily ever after is just a fairy-tale, but don’t take that from me because pretty actresses will continue to marry the rich Shreks and we’ll continue to read about their torn marriages.
Stupid women keep marrying rich guys….
The rich guys always want a taste of many pretty women…will attractive women interested in rich guys ever learn this? Or do they even care?
I wish her all the best of luck. Loaded or not, separating from someone you once loved is never easy.
PP, do you mean women who marry poor men will never divorce? Anyway, a couple may divorce for many reasons, not always because it’s due to a third party.
will she get her son? men usually get it in asia, but his finances are a mess compared to hers right now.
No I did not mean that, but, having lived in Korea…I can tell you that almost 100 percent of the rich guys in Korea cheat on their wives. The last time I checked…getting married is a commitment and cheating is breaking that commitment.
I have no sumpathy for these types of women. There are plenty of guys in Korea that would never cheat on their wives…but the prettiest women have big egos and go for the money…and they get what they deserve.
@ed
How come??? Why is the guy who will have the guard? WHAT’S THAT?
I’m sorry for her, but since she wanted it herself.. she ain’t going to be sad about I assume
rich shreks!!! so funny.
i think it’s so fake. i mean i guess they had to be in love at some time, but maybe she was more in love with his money…but i don’t have the right to say this cause i don’t know if i would fall for a guy because he pampered me with gifts either…
sad to hear that. separating is never easy…… there must be love at one time to make that commitment….
she ain’t messin’ wit no brokey broke
I don’t think she fell in love with his money.
HELLOOOOO, people! She has her own money empire and fame. She probably married him because usually the rich and famous marry rich and famous.
Everyone really needs to stop saying “Oh I guess she fell in love with his money.” Although she probably doesn’t make more money than him, she’s still pretty wealthy in korean standards.
And what’s this about rich men cheating? Is there an article saying he cheated? No.
People have quite the imagination nowadays, making things up in their heads.
Maybe she actually loved him…or loved the won. We’ll never know.
I think a lot of girls are brain washed into wanting a rich “prince” and that after they find him that they’ll live happily ever after. Just like a fairy tale.
PP is right but for me “it takes two to tango”…
what is up with her knees, it looks like she has knee pads on under the socks
she got married out of love and he screwed her in more ways than one by using her name to make him some money.
“Shin alleged Kim, who was head of Oracle Entertainment until he left early July, had forged her signature to borrow money from another entertainment company. Now, the entertainment company is demanding Shin pay a little over 400 million won.”

I don’t fault her for getting married and a divorce nor do I agree with the people who have no idea what they are talking and yet pretend they do.
Regardless of what he did in the marriage…I would bet everything I own that she married him for money. Do you every see a single one of these famous women marrying a school teacher or some other average guy with a good heart? Never. It goes on and on….
Or she married him because she thougth he had it going on. He had a career and could take care of himself…..and is at a social level they could both relate to.
regardless, I’m not going to pretend I know her intentions because I have no idea what went on. No one should pretend to know so much about something out of our reach.
I decided to drop the period and capitalize my j. I feel like one of those mad teachers holding a red pen 24/7. Anyways, the only thing I can really say to this matter is- I feel sympathy for her child.

kara….it’s great that you seem to have faith in people to believe she might have married him out of love. but the reality is…money talks A LOT in today’s society. she might have her own wealth independent of his but i wouldn’t be surprised if she thought marrying him could’ve furthered her career even more. and he might not be a cheater but it’s true that the more money a guy makes, the more likely he’d have the confidence and means to stray. not to say that poorer men don’t cheat but statistics show that the higher a man is in economic status, the more likely he’ll cheat. it’s sad but i’ve seen it happen so often.
Poorer men cannot afford to go to room salons 2 or 3 times a week.
DO you think these celebrity marriages have a connection like ths couple does?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YA_yTkOCvus
I doubt it.
PP – Why are you so sure that she married him for money? An average guy with a good heart? A rich guy can’t have a good heart?
cremepuff – can you site which “statistics” show that higher a man’s economic status, the more likely he’ll cheat?
Boy, many people here really dislike the wealthy and is so biased against them!
I lived in Korea…I never met a successful guy who did not cheat there. Never. Dentist, bosses, professors, company founders, etc. I am just telling the truth.
And as for the money issue, all of my bosses agreed with me…the pretty girls in Gangnam are all about money. The “less pretty” girls are much less superficial.
Be serious.
Popseoul & posters, most of you must be blind. Since when was Shin Eun Kyung ever pretty?
I am as shallow as the next guy and I couldn’t watch “Bad Couple” because, well, the main characters need to be good looking.
Acting-wise good or bad, if you’re going to be on screen you need to have the looks.
Seriously, she looks like Jung Sun Hee with a bit bigger eyes – not pretty.
Oh, and the dude or chick who claimed that men with more money were “statistically shown” to cheat more needs to put their feet where their mouth is.
Rich people (besides big-money inheriters) are rich because they’ve worked hard to earn it. If you’re claiming that because they are rich they can afford to cheat, then I’ll say they are rich because of the time and effort they’ve put and are “less statistically likely” to cheat.
“…I’ll say they are rich because of the time and effort they’ve put and are “less statistically likely” to cheat.”
Absolutely positively not.
Is this distrust against rich married men coming from personal experience.
If it is, perhaps a self-esteem class is in order followed by a prescription for fluoxetine and a bit of wine. Not all at the same time, of course.
Take your time. Pain does not just go away.
You are in my prayers.
Dont need your prayers. Not interested.
Some people are not interested in the truth. Perhaps you are like the guys I described.
My analysis is from my own personal observation of people around me in Seoul. You can live in denial…and make cute/strange/not funny responses to what I am saying…but I am telling the absolute truth. Sorry.
I am thoroughly enjoying this back and forth repartee.
How old are you?
What do you do for a living?
Want to go out for some coffee?
BeSerious, so which do you enjoy more ~
hitting on people with self-esteem problems and prescribing drugs for them based on a few blog comments,
OR
defending the commitment to monogamy by the virtuous, hardworking rich?
all work and no play makes richBoy itchy for some-and-some?
Sorry…no self esteem problems “curious”…just the truth. Of course some people are in denial…probably because they are part of the problem.
PP,
or maybe you are just generalizing….and a generalization is as justifiable as a racist who claims all Koreans are dog eaters.
There are plenty of middle class men who cheat on their wives, beat on them, or for that matter…lie about even having the credentials to be a teacher. No matter what argument you can come up based on your personal experience there will always be an example to the latter.
The problem is you don’t know exactly what happened with Shin and yet you are so quick to condemn her based on your own prejudice…that’s the problem. Especially, when you ignore the fact she has a lot of money herself.
Also, what you consider to be a problem…is nothing more than being old fashioned, where the best provider is a great find. If only her husband had been loyal and trustworthy, he’d be the perfect husband…..but he wasn’t.
lol @ “rich shreks”. o_O
Anyway, we cant assume she married him for money. At least I don’t think so.
hmmm…she doesn’t look good in pink. She needs scissor knives, leather, and chrome heels. But she does have feline features.
Be-Serious, you said: “Rich people (besides big-money inheriters) are rich because they’ve worked hard to earn it”
I say: Poor people work hella hard too but they can never get rich with minimum pay even if they work like 12 hours a day. Think about that.
Also, rich ppl are more likely to cheat and statistics tell you that. If that’s hard to believe, just look at hollywood celebrities. HOw many of them have stayed married???
bottom line is Shin Eun kyung’s divorcing him because they have financial issues. She doesn’t love him enough to deal with the stress? Whatever happened to love ’til death, love in sickness and health; thru thick and thin??
There’s two types of girls: girls that marry smart and girls that marry love.
We really don’t know the truth ,why she’s getting a divorce!or whatever her reason’s behind,that was her problem to be solve..
The truth,she’s the one ,who are in vain about her marriage not us nor you…So,we betta not judge her for her reasons about why she’s filling a divorce…
In my own view about , rich men have guts to cheat while still on marriage! At least he has the money to spend having other girls….unlike other guys there’s no money,no fame still have the guts to fooled play around ,while his own family suffered a lot…financially…
Let the rich men have many womens,as long as his own family finacially settled..That was the trend in the world now,got marriage,promised “till death ,do as part.But that was only in a words but not the “do’s..It is a kinda of painful moments,parting each other and the most weary are the children..But,can’t do anything if one party ,wants for a divorce..!
This is it”The crazy world,one sided of love affair..as long as their needs satisfied and happy,they don’t care if other side are in pain specially the children…
Well her husband did not cheat on her. Somehow the topic got on a tangent about disloyal rich men, but luckily for Shin Eun Kyung her husband was faithful. He’s just broke that’s all. And she’s running away from their financial horrors. The bare naked truth is she’s divorcing him which means she’s not trying to make their marriage work which leads me to conclude that she ain’t in love with him THAT much to work it out.
well, the word from the court documents is that he forged her signature in order to save himself, leaving her with the costs of having to pay for the losses. This is her story of course.
You can’t trust someone like that.
So if that is in fact true, he wasn’t loyal and he used her for her financial stability. He would have been better off just going for broke and go into resturaunt management using her name.
that women really sucked
why she married with stupid odious piggy asshole ,she is pretty but she is chicken head i love her movies
but i can not understand her marriage. i think it is not her fault just that fat pig’s work i feel sorry for her. i hate that piggy rich ass hole.
This is a classic case of fame marrying money. It should always be about love marrying love. Btw, whoever said Shin Eunkyung is pretty needs their eyes thoroughly examined.
… sad…
I’m not gonna participate in the stupids discussions about whether she married for money or not.
Whatever the cause, the outcome is a bad one for both…
