First, we would like to express our apologies for sharing news of this kind to those who congratulated and supported Lee Ha Neul's marriage. The two people decided to finish their married life after much careful thought. They reached an agreement, went through the divorce procedures, and have agreed to cheer each other on while going their respective ways.
As this is Lee Ha Neul's personal matter, we ask you to avoid spreading indiscriminate speculations and false facts about the divorce. Once again, we express our apologies for the unfortunate news."

Only immediate family members and close friends were in attendance including HaHa, Jinusean's Jinu, SBS's "Flaming Youth" members Kim Kwang Gyu, Choi Sung Gook, and Goo Bon Seung.
Soon after the wedding, Na Neul released a statement addressing his wife, Quince (her nickname). He thanked her for waiting for him for 11 years. "Congratulations to me, and everyone please mourn for Quince," he had written.
He had told also said that Quince was not only his wife but a friend he could always lean on. He appreciated her for being with him in hard times too. "We've climbed so many mountains together. I have my team DOC, but she's my other team. She's my partner for life."
