Actress Lee Mi-sook, 47, divorced her cosmetic surgeon husband after 20 years of marriage. But reports say it has been nearly six years since the couple began living in separate homes.
Lee is currently in Los Angeles, where her two children are studying. She has been flying back and forth from Seoul to look after her children as her filming schedule allows. She will have custody of the children, her agency said.
Her husband, Hong Seong-ho, 62, who runs a private clinic in Nonhyeon-dong, was not available for comment.
Their marriage was also an issue in 1987 when they tied the knot. Lee was one of the top female celebrities at the time and Hong a successful doctor who divorced his first wife to marry her.
Lee will be back in Seoul soon to work on two films. She will collaborate with director Kwon Chil-in and Park Je-hyeon.
Both Lee and her ex-husband are graduates of Korea University. Some of her hit movies include "Untold Scandal" (2003), "An Affair" (1998) and "Winter Traveler" (1986). She won the Best New Actress Award at the Daejong Film Festival in 1979 and the MBC Outstanding Achievement Award in 1982.
