According to an insider in the business community on the 21st, Amore's eldest daughter, Seo Min-jung filed for divorce from her chaebol husband Hong Jung-hwan after 8 months of marriage. 

The two married at the guest house of the Shilla Hotel in Seoul in October 19, 2020 and at time, their marriage became a hot topic and was nicknamed "marriage of the century" as two conglomerates were joining hands, bringing a considerable power ripple to the business industry. 

Jung-hwan, is the director of investment review at Bokwang Group, a pan-Samsung family and Min Jung is the eldest daughter of AmorePacific Group, a representative cosmetics company in Korea. 

The specific reason for divorce is unknown, however, about 4 months ago, Min Jung's father, Amore's Chairman Seo, recovered 100,000 shares donated to her husband in February.

According to Financial Supervisory disclosures, Chairman Seo's stake in the company increased to 53.78% from 53.66% after recovering the gift and Samsung's Jung-hwan's share went from .12% to 0.

An Amore official told News1, "It's a private matter so it's difficult to confirm reason for divorce."

1. [+1,978, -12] Really makes you wonder the reason why they announced a divorce so quickly...
2. [+2,142, -263] Two people are involved in the divorce and yet its the woman's photo that's only revealed as the headline~
3. [+435, -12] It's better to divorce. If you force yourself to stay with someone you'd end up developing cancer. I hope they can finalize the divorce quickly and live happily.
4. [+196, -17] Seeing how Chairman Seo quickly took back the stocks he gifted him I think Jung Hwan is at faultㅋㅋㅋ . I wonder if he did something wrong and they thought to divorce quickly to avoid adding a baby in the mix. Divorce isn't such a huge deal anymore like it was back then. Its better not endure and waste your life in the wrong relationship..
5. [+107, -0] This doesn't like like a simple "personality" differences. Divorce among chaebols is very complicated so for them to agree to divorce after 8 months...one of the two made a fatal mistake at the start of their marriage ㅋ
6. [+105, -0] You can tell from her face that she wasn't happy about getting into a marriage with him and to get divorced so quickly...her parent's greed was too much. 
7. [+85, -2] It's more comfortable to live alone anyway. Marriage will never work if you go in with the mindset of being a sacrificial lamb to take responsibility for your family..
8. [+68, -0] 100%  sure another woman is involved. Looks like he cheated on her and the father-in-law asked for his stocks back ㅋㅋㅋ.
