(female volleyball players in Korea are treated like idol celebrities and held to that same standard too, so revealing their marriage would've been quite bad for her, also for her personal life)
Still surprising she used to be married, but personally I'd rather not find out about an athlete's personal life (unless they committed a horrid crime and is charged in law for it), and just watch them play volley
Though, if the dude is who I think he is, I don't think DY necessarily tried hiding it when they were together, they went around together quite publicly. There were also rumours back in 2018 she wanted to retire to get married. A fan shared that back in 2019 she shared her ex-bf cheated on her so she broke up with him though. (ofc, with all stories, can be one-sided)
I'm wondering about this. Sorry, I'm not completely uptodate, but, If I understand correctly, we just found out LDY was married for some time, and that was kept private until now because it would make her look bad? Is that it? I think I heard stories about stuff like that in China or Japan, maybe. If I'm not wrong, someone mentioned something like that about Changning Zhang, that she was required to keep a relationship with a boyfriend private... But I think I had no idea this was a thing in South Korea too... Is that it? Korean players are advised to keep their relationships private? Sorry if I misunderstood...
