“I wouldn’t just stop her, I’d make sure she couldn’t marry.” A lawyer’s candid remarks about singer Shinji and her husband Moon Won have sparked a heated debate.
Recently, lawyer Lee Ji-hoon uploaded a video titled “Marrying a Divorced Person with Children” on his YouTube channel, ‘Knowing Lawyer’.
In the video, Lee began by saying, “I want to give some advice as an older sister figure, imagining Shinji is my own younger sister.”
He emphasized, “Ultimately, everyone chooses their own life. It’s not a matter of right or wrong; if I can be happy, I can make any choice. However, as an older sister, if Shinji were my sister, I would absolutely not let this marriage happen. I would stop it. If she did marry, I would tell her to write a marital property agreement.”
Lee shared his views, stating, “Feelings can be expressed, but actions are more important than words. Words are easy to fake, but actions are not. You must look at a person’s behavior when evaluating them, especially how they act when things are bad. It’s natural for them to be nice right now. You shouldn’t judge someone based on their behavior during the good times.”
Mentioning the marriage of Shinji and Moon Won, Lee added, “I congratulate them on their marriage. But I hope they don’t forget this: didn’t you marry to be happy? If you find yourself unhappy, what should you do? I hope you don’t hesitate to divorce. Marriage should be cautious, but divorce should be swift. I’m not telling them to divorce, but if conflicts aren’t resolved or if there was deception during the marriage process, do not be afraid of divorce.”
He specifically highlighted that Shinji is someone who has received great love from the public and urged her to consider why some people opposed the marriage. Lee warned, “The desire to show everyone that you’re living well might actually prevent you from solving the problems. To have a happy married life, conflicts must be resolved immediately. Do not endure things out of stubbornness or guilt.”
Shinji and Moon Won tied the knot on the 2nd. However, the road to their wedding wasn’t easy. Immediately after the announcement, rumors about Moon Won’s past history and behavior spread, leading to strong opposition from netizens. Although Moon Won clarified the rumors and controversies, the opposition continued.
Eventually, Shinji expressed her trust and love for Moon Won, stating, “I am well aware of the affectionate concern and worries of many people. I will not forget and will move forward step by step with a consistent appearance.” She calmed the situation by sharing their daily lives on her YouTube channel. Recently, the couple also appeared together on the KBS2 variety show ‘Stars’ Top Recipe at Home’ to showcase their happy honeymoon life.
However, following Lee’s blunt remarks, netizens are sharply divided. Some agreed with the lawyer, commenting, “Realization will come once you experience it.” On the other hand, many criticized him, saying, “Isn’t it over since they’re already married?” “It’s their choice, he crossed the line,” and “Let’s just support them for now.” With over 500 comments on the video, the public’s intense interest in Shinji and Moon Won is once again evident.
