Lee said that they decided to divorce in order to give each other more freedom. There had been rumors of troubles in their marriage and even a separation, but the two had denied the talk.

"We didn't decide to divorce because of a certain or specific incident. As we grew older our feelings for each other changed, so we thought it would be better to give each other freedom", Lee explained in a recent interview. Their two sons also understand and respect their decision, Lee said.

Actors Lee Yeong-ha, 57, and Seon-woo Eun-sook, 48, a well-known star couple, have finalized their divorce.

The decision, which was made under a mutual agreement, comes 26 years after tying the knot.

The exact reason for the divorce was not given, however they mentioned that they were letting each other go to allow more freedom.

"When a married couple live together for a long time, there are times when you become skeptical about certain things", Lee said.

The two remain on friendly terms despite the separation.

The couple has two sons, Lee Sang-won, who is also an actor, and a younger son who is currently serving his military service.

Lee and Sunwoo both enjoyed the spotlight in the 1970s and 1980s and got married in 1981 at the peak of their careers.

The two are among the middle-aged actors who dominate parent-figure roles on television.

Lee currently appears on the drama "Golden Era of Daughter in Law" (KBS), and Seon-woo on ...

Kim Moo-saeng (died in February at the age of 62) and Kim Joo-hyeok (33)

When Kim Joo-hyeok played the role of a stuffy assistant teacher on "KAIST" in 1999, he easily could have passed as an extra picked up on the set. Not only was his delivery of lines awkward, his overall performance was just plain bad, critics said. But experience gained on the job eventually led him to landing his first major role as a detective in the 2002 thriller "Say Yes", which he starred alongside Choo Sang-mi and Park Joong-hoon. It wasn't long before critics were writing that he was a chip off the old block, as it was no secret that he was the son of actor Kim Moo-saeng, who passed on last spring. The younger Kim has gone on to tak...
