The news of actress Jang Sin-yeong's divorce after three years of marriage shocked and dismayed many fans, especially since it came not long after she modeled for a children's clothing company with her son. Words of encouragement flowed in from fans as it was reported later that Jang is doing her best to get back on her track despite the personal turmoil.

Fortunately for Jang, divorce no longer means the end of an actress' career. Lee Hye-young, whose marriage to singer Lee Sang-min ended in 2005, is as successful as ever. She is now working not only as an actress but also as a beauty book writer and businesswoman, recently expanding her clothing company with the successful launch of an underwear brand. Singer-turned-actress Chae Jeong-an also made a successful comeback after divorcing in 2007 with the TV drama "Coffee Prince".

Actress Jang Sin-yeong has applied for divorce after nearly three years of marriage.

Jang, 25, attributed her request to the wide gap in character with her husband. But press reports blamed the mounting debt of her businessman husband, identified only as Wi, 33, for the couple's breakup.

An acquaintance of Jang was quoted as saying, "Wi had been struggling with a lot of debt owing to business failures. They tried, in vain, to avoid divorce in consideration of their son".

Wi reportedly reached a final decision on divorce out of fear that his debt might affect Jang's acting career negatively.

Wi had been working for BOF (Boundaries of Forest), hallyu (Korean wave) star Bae Yong-joon's agency, as a marketing director before starting his own business dealing in baby items after marriage. But his business went from bad to worse amid snowballing debt.

The couple separated eight months ago and their three-year-old child will be in Jang's custody.
