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.

The KBS1 daily drama "The Road Home" will show a love story unfold as Hiro, a Japanese model played by Otani Ryohei, confesses his love for Ji-su, played by Park Hye-won. Otani is a Japanese actor working in Korea who drew attention when he was cast for the drama.

In the 66th episode on April 13, Ji-su forgot to meet Hiro and went out with her mother. Realizing belatedly that she was supposed to meet Hiro, she tried to call Hiro, but Hiro's phone was off and she asked her coworker Jin-gyeong to meet him instead of her.

Ji-su apologized to Hiro when she met him later on, but Hiro, feeling offended, asked her if she didn't meet him because he meant nothing to her, and confessed that he had fallen in love with her.

Hiro had given many hints about his love, but Ji-su failed to notice them. The new relationship of the Korean-Japanese couple will bring a new development to the drama, along with another event where the secrets behind Ju-su's birth are disclosed.
