What’s All This Talk About Divorce?
Hey everyone! So, if you follow Korean entertainment news, you might have seen some shocking headlines about one of our favorite comedian couples, Kim Jimin and Kim Junho. They just tied the knot back in July 2025, so when the word “divorce” popped up, everyone was like, “Wait, what?!” [2, 5] But don’t worry, they’re not actually splitting up. The whole thing is actually about a very specific—and noisy—problem.
During a recent house tour on the YouTube channel ‘A-Class Jang Youngran’, Kim Jimin revealed her and Kim Junho’s gorgeous new home. But the biggest surprise was when she showed that they sleep in separate bedrooms! She then dropped the bombshell joke that if they didn’t have a “sleep divorce,” they’d be heading for a *real* divorce.
The Real Culprit: Snoring!
So, what’s a “sleep divorce”? It’s a term getting popular in Korea (‘sue-myon ee-hon’ or 수면 이혼) for couples who sleep in separate rooms for better-quality sleep. And the reason for this drastic measure? Kim Junho’s super loud snoring! Kim Jimin explained that she’s a very light sleeper and his snoring was keeping her up all night. To save their sanity and their sleep, they decided to get separate rooms. She even said they book two separate hotel rooms when they travel! [14, 16]
It sounds a bit extreme, but she insisted it was the best decision for them. She said that now, they both wake up happy and well-rested. It’s a modern solution to a classic problem that many couples face. According to one report, it’s a trend that’s not just in Korea; about 35% of American couples also sleep separately sometimes.
Keeping the Romance Alive
Now, you might be thinking, “Doesn’t that kill the romance?” Well, according to Kim Jimin, it’s actually had the opposite effect. She explained that after they… you know… spend their quality time together, they say goodnight and go to their own rooms. She said it makes seeing each other in the morning more exciting and feels like they’re still dating. It’s a unique way to keep that spark alive while also getting a full eight hours of sleep. Plus, during the house tour, they showed a book about preparing for a baby, so they’re definitely still very much in their happy newlywed phase.
So, No Real Drama Here!
Ultimately, the scary “divorce” headlines were just classic comedian clickbait. Kim Jimin and Kim Junho are doing great and just being super honest and funny about the not-so-glamorous parts of married life. It’s actually pretty refreshing to see a celebrity couple be so open about a relatable issue like snoring. So, rest easy, everyone! The couple is happy, sleeping soundly (in separate rooms), and proving that sometimes the secret to a happy marriage is a good night’s sleep.
