Wow...although I'm more familiar with Seo Taji, had no idea he was married :O or that he was a father. I always imagined him single...dang i'm shocked.

they havent been able to confirm that the divorce papers are actually theirs because there are no national id numbers on them.

Oh she definitely had an affair. If they were already separated then he wouldve agreed to the divorce and avoided the public court filing. Unless he wouldn't agree to the alimony and division of assets.

Seo Taiji is a close friend of Bae Yong Joon. Seo Taiji met Lee Ji Ah in u.s. after a concert. He lived with her in u.s., traveled with her to japan, then got married in 1997. Lee Ji Ah and Seo Taiji has 2 children together. Her name is Kim Ji Ah and she is supposedly 33 years old. Several netizens revealed this last year, but was rebuffed. Netizens who knew the marriage have been asking Seo Taiji and Lee Ji Ah to do We Got Married continuously.

Current headlines:

“Jung Woo-sung: ‘I had no idea Lee Jia was married to Seo Taiji’”
“Jung Woo-sung incredibly shocked at news”
“Jung Woo-sung’s agency in panic mode, planning press conference soon”

I guess the voodoo doll I made after hearing she and JWS got together worked....

Ah~~~~!!!

It's too loud in here..so much talk!!

Everyone please leave~~!!

I'd like to be alone ㅠㅠ

While you guys are at it, can you pleeeeze come over to Park Ji Yoon article and leave comments? ^^

chill man; this kind of things happen everyday. just that it happens to normal people. not that i'm agreeing with any party i just think that its more normal than we think it is!

well supposedly they're already divorced? they divorced in america and they're just fighting over the settlement? something abt her saying they divorced in 2009 while his side is saying 2006 and she wants like 5 million or something...

This is all quite hard to imagine.....but at least it explains her connection to rise as a star.

If JWS knew about her secret married life, wouldn't it be dumb and stupid for him to confirmed their relationship to the world that they're dating? As he is Korean, he will know that committing adultery is illegal and I don't think he's that stupid to risk his hard-earned reputation as one of the Korean's finest actor and subjecting himself to the wrath of a disappointed fans. My bet is, he's been duped and left in dark!

LOL. I knew it was a shocker, but to surmount into this kind of proportion is... really ... wow.

I need real facts. This is getting really crazy. I think tonight's alcohol consumption rate will go up. LOL.

what? this is like april fool joke.

I would say : poor two children, whose parents are divorcing, and then have to witness this mess their parents have made.
(that is, if they really have two children)

I read this on AKP &was literally shocked.
Honestly this whole thing is painting her in a very VERY ugly picture. I don't know if her career can recover from this kinda of a shocker.

I mean her &JSW just came out with their relationship &now her divorce is being headlining. She probably is looked at now from others as an adulteress.
I wonder though is she divorcing because of her new relationship. If so that is just plain sad.
&what about JSW did he even know? because if he didn't then wow this is gonna be a hitter on his career too. People gonna think he a homewrecker for ruining a marriage.

All I know is at this point I feel bad for Seo Taiji.

Jin Ah I hope she's able to bounce back from this but good luck cause now your career looks screw.

How sad for people to find out that you are married by hearing the news of your divorce, smh

Facts are getting stranger . . .

It looks like Lee Ji Ah may have actually gotten divorced way back in 2006, but that it only pertained to her status in the US. But that would be unlikely since Taji's friend BYJ wouldn't have cast LJA in Legend.

I think it's rather rude to automatically assume she got the role for her acting debut through her husband's connections. After all, it seems most everyone was not aware of their marriage.

The news don't make any sense at all. How could you hide all of these in 14 years and then get find out only now!? O_o

Meh, at first I thought this was the plot of her next K-drama. Then the shock sank in and answered the question of Seo Taiji's annoyingly complacent if well-produced sound and subjects as middle-aged rocker - turns out it's just warbling of baby-faced daddio.
So who do you have to screw to get into a Cannes entry for Korean film? Being Seo Taiji's wife only stretched so far...:P

R.I.P. Lee Ji Ah's career.

The fact that she agreed to publicize her romance with Jung Woo Sung while still filing the divorce with Seo Taiji is unbelievable. What the actual f*** happened in that girl's mind? I bet Seo Taiji was pissed because he helped her to become the celebrity she is nowadays, and when she has the fame she publicly goes out with another man.

I really like her in The Legend but then she could no longer top that performance. Girl has the chance and the connections anyone is vying for, but she screwed it and it's her fault.

I actually feel bad for all 3 of them and the children (in case they had), especially JWS. I suppose he didn't know the truth, or he wouldn't take a risky move by admitting his relationship with LJA.

Apparently STJ and LJA were divorced back in 2006 (according to his lawyer' claim) / 2009 (her lawyer claims).

Me myself also thought this is going to be LJA's next project. This seems to be huge. What I cannot understand is why they hid their relationship, even having two kids with each other, for such a long time?!! What purpose did they have?! This is crazaayyyy

So what?

I thought something strange was really going on. A couple(?) of weeks ago, Entertainment Weekly ran the news of JA and JWS's escapade in Paris. He looked absolutely radiant BUT on the return from Paris, there was only JWS minus LJA. HE lost the radiant look. My sixth sense already picked up something was wrong although I didn't know what.

I think I have even less respect for LJA now. I don't really care about her age issues but on a personal level, she lacks integrity.

wonder who else is secretly married, but we do not know about it ...

I'm...speechless.
Poor JWS.
And my gosh. LJA, what were you thinking?
I feel sorry for everybody.

Okay I barely know these people and I'm like gasping for breath shocked! It's such a conundrum! I keep thinking what is the reason for this coming out now? and there's no way that her current boyfriend won't know she's married and how could she think that public records won't be in the papers? what made them announce their dating status? Is she pregnant? are they going to get married? how bad was her marriage that she could just date openly? celebrities really have a hard time.

So shocking! I hope they can salvage their careers after this scandal.

Life is indeed stranger than fiction.

So now all of you realize than all this ... we sleep in different rooms in our honey moon because we are still not married(Jung Joon-ho), i hadn't dayed for ten years(idols),movies or dramas the girl and the boy only have a pick on lips because they all are so inocent so they don't know how to kiss ... bullshit.
Don't get me wrong i love korean dramas, kpop ... but they all just are lying. Why they don't just act normal in front of a camera. I know they have so much pression in asian countries but c'mon isn't worse to be found out like this (in taiwan, china is happening the same, a lot of star who has secret marries...)
I really don't get it

wow just wow.... this shit is like a Korean Drama!

How sad!

Definitely adultery.

Most likely the new boyfriend doesn't know. Knowing how secretive Korean actors are with regards to their careers & personal life, he won't be that stoooppeeed to have admitted about the relationship and having photos published if he know he was threading on dangerous waters.

WOW.

TOTAL SHOCKER!!! I have a dislike to LJA since I watched her in BV (which I failed to finish, thanks to her), and now, I was just shocked. Totally.

On marriage, the bachelor said, “I don’t think marriage is a necessary condition for a happy life. I think I’m afraid to deviate from music due to marriage. I am losing more interest in marriage because I don’t like companionship.”

“When things come, then I will fall in love and might get married. If I really want something, I do it.”

So basically they divorced sometime between 2006 and 2009?

from Allkpop:

A representative from Taurus Film, Jung’s management company, said, “We just spoke with him at length about the situation. He was very upset about it, saying how could he have dated her if he knew of all this.” He went on to say, “Jung says he wishes that the story isn’t true, but if it is, then he has no choice but to end the relationship. He apparently tried to reach Lee but wasn’t able to, not being able to hear the details from her at all.”

they got married n divorced in US but filing lawsuit (monetary) in korea? hmm.... too many loopholes here. marrying a famous person always has this pre-nup/contract where the other partner CANNOT REVEAL ANYTHING if divorce happen. I hope at least their family knew that they got married (n divorced)...

If everything is to be believed--like Jung Woo Sung not knowing that his current girlfriend is married and in the process of divorcing--then, I can't but think that Lee Jia is kind of shady. As others have pointed out, there were questions about her age and background, granted that's common practice in the industry.

This is what you call MAKJANG.
All other kdramas we have been watching?? nothing compare to this ..
only one word
W
O

I think they supposed already divorced in the US. (although i don't think they were considered legally married in Korea) The lawsuit is about alimony and the dispute is WHEN they divorced. Seo Taiji says 2006 while she says 2009. If Seo Taiji's right then they divorced BEFORE she got into the business.

Read from a chinese site, it was said to have 3 kids...

wow...... THE piece of NEWS in 2011!

i like to say that i am upset that such a personal private matter between seo ta ji and lee ji ah has gone public

yes the news is sensational and that things are going to go bad for all parties

1. possibly her career is over
2. she is divorced, she did not cheat, she is filing for ALIMONY,
3. JWS would feel disgusted and i dont know where he will stand on this, she lied and the fact that korean tradition dont look to kindly on remarrying a divorcee

BUT ONE THING I THINK YOU SHOULD THINK ABOUT IS
she has children (or thats what we have been told)
so i want you netizens to be careful what you say
she has children
and the comments you say can hurt both her, her children, her family
HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO FEEL TO BE CALLED SOMETHING THAT YOUR NOT
SO BACK OFF, IF YOU REMEMBER, THE FACT THAT YOU ARE CALLING SOMEONE SOMETHING THEY ARE NOT IS DEFAMATION AND ALSO CAUSING DISTRESS THROUGH DIRECT AND INDIRECT ACTIONS IS NOT ALLOWED

give the girl a break, she's just wants alimony for her CHILDREN

My mind is still reeling at this! I'm in shock, Seo Taiji was one of the first Korean artist I came across when I was first exposed to the Korean music scene.
The fact that she was married to such a high-profile star and no one knew it is mind-bogging.
I guess that answers all my questions about her, I couldn't figure out how she was landing some of her roles with her mediocre acting. It all makes sense that Seo Taiji was pulling strings behind the scenes.
I'm wondering if JWS knew her marital situation before he started dating her. Now he's entangled in the whole mess whether he knew or not.
