Ku Hye-sun: Divorced women are not unfortunate

She is single again after a bitter divorce scandal with South Korean actor-model Ahn Jae-hyun, and Korean actress Ku Hye-sun is feeling fabulous. In an interview with Ten Star magazine, she described herself as feeling "soulless" in the past with a laser-like focus on work. Now, she brings that soul and passion to work.

When it came to her divorce, she added: "I am thankful for everyone's encouragement. A lot of people think that divorced women are unfortunate, but I don't think so. If you say getting married is a hopeful fantasy, then getting divorced is a reality check which gives you the ambition and courage to change your life for the better."

In February this year, Hye-sun announced via Instagram that she was jetting off to England to study.
