‘Lookism’ Creator Park Tae-joon Reportedly Divorcing Former Girl Group Idol Choi Soo-jung After 4 Years—Property Division Lawsuit in Progress

Webtoon creator Park Tae-joon, known for his appearance on ‘Ulzzang Generation’ and for penning the hit series Lookism, is reportedly facing divorce proceedings with former Lotte Girls member Choi Soo-jung after four years of marriage.

According to a report by Sports Seoul on the 28th, Park Tae-joon and Choi Soo-jung parted ways last year and are currently involved in a property division lawsuit.

Both parties have yet to release an official statement regarding the situation. Neither Park nor Choi are currently signed to an agency, and Park Tae-joon is known to be largely inactive on social media, leaving fans wondering if the couple will address the rumors directly.

The couple first went public with their marriage in 2020 after dating for several years. Park Tae-joon shared the news during an appearance on MBC’s Radio Star, explaining, “I’m not a broadcaster, so there’s never really a chance to talk about it,” as he revealed his marriage to viewers.

Born in 1984, Park Tae-joon, who turns 41 this year, first gained recognition in 2009 through season 2 of Comedy TV’s Ulzzang Generation. He later appeared on various variety shows and also made a name for himself as the CEO of a men’s fashion online store.

In 2014, Park debuted as a webtoon artist with Lookism, and has since written numerous stories and established his own comic company, Ptj headquarter, continuing his work in the industry to this day.

Choi Soo-jung drew attention in 2019 when she appeared on MBC’s I Live Alone as the close unnie (older sister figure) of MAMAMOO’s Hwasa. During the episode, Hwasa introduced Choi as someone she had trained with during her trainee days, highlighting their strong friendship.
