[HanCinema's News] Koo Hye-sun and Ahn Jae-hyun's Problems Started Earlier This Year
By William Schwartz | Published on
On August 22nd the MBC entertainment news program Section TV broadcast a segment about the current feud between Koo Hye-sun and Ahn Jae-hyun. Sources with some access to the celebrities stated that their problems had started earlier this year, marked mainly by ennui. The main point in their public profiles when the shift can be noted is when their social media accounts started featuring pictures of one or the other alone, rather than together.

Koo Hye-sun's comments have dominated coverage on the topic until now, but Section TV also had a look at Ahn Jae-hyun's side of the story. He claims to have married Koo Hye-sun because he loved and respected her. He also claimed to have done all he could as a husband since marrying her and that he has done nothing to be ashamed of.
Comments alleged to be from Ahn Jae-hyun do not contain much in the way of specific examples. Koo Hye-sun, by contrast, has described spending an entire day preparing a special beef soup for his birthday only to see him go off to a party with other people having barely tasted it upon getting back home.
The acrimony between the two is assymetric in part because Ahn Jae-hyun has more to lose from feuding in public. A campaign is currently under way to have him removed from the upcoming drama "Love With Flaws" in light of the scandal, and most defenses he could make of himself would just make him look worse. Koo Hye-sun's more diverse career and deeper fanbase grants her more resilience by comparison.
