Cho Seung-yeon, a 37‑year‑old single mother and content creator, marked the end of her marriage with a symbolic divorce ceremony.
Rather than viewing the split as a defeat, she invited close friends to celebrate the closing of one life chapter and the start of another. The post‑ceremony reaction, however, included considerable criticism from online audiences.
In an interview with the BBC, Cho explained that she aims to challenge the stigma attached to divorced women and to redefine her identity outside of marriage.
