OSEN DB.Han Groo Reflects on Her Early Marriage and Divorce
Han Groo recently opened up about her personal life, revealing that she also grew up in a divorced household. Appearing as a guest on the South Korea web content show ‘Are You the Sister-in-law’ on September 2, 2026, the actress and single mom shared candid details about her marriage, parenting, and views on future relationships.
Reflecting on her decision to tie the knot at just 24 years old after working tirelessly, Han Groo confessed that she felt she lacked a typical rebellious adolescence and viewed marriage as an escape. Despite warnings from close acquaintances, including fellow actress Han Chae-ah who worried it might hinder her flourishing career, she proceeded with the 8-year marriage before ultimately divorcing in 2022.
Why Living Separately Might Be the Key to Her Next Marriage
Discussing the turning point that led to her divorce, Han Groo drew from her own childhood observations of her mother’s remarriage. Having witnessed the complexities and discomforts of living with a stepfather, she noted that while she loves her stepfather dearly, forcing children into a shared living space too quickly can cause unintended emotional scars.
Addressing the possibility of remarriage as a mother raising twins independently, Han Groo stated that her children’s comfort comes first. However, she admitted her unconventional ideal for any future relationship: maintaining separate living quarters. She explained that she cherishes the idea of sharing meals and spending quality time together while sleeping in separate spaces to preserve mutual mystery and keep her independent identity intact.
