Personal life

feeling

On April 20, 2011, MBC television reported that the legal representatives of Xu Taizhi and Li Zhiya both claimed that they had divorced many years ago, but there was no small dispute about the date of their marriage. Xu Taizhi's legal representative said they divorced in 2006, while Li Zhiya's legal representative said they divorced in 2009.

Xu Taizhi and Li Zhiya, 39 years old, actually got married secretly as early as 1997. However, because they kept their marriage secret, their friends didn't know about their secret marriage for many years. Even Yang Xianxi, the boss of YG company, who formed a band with Xu Taizhi, said that it was the first time he heard that Xu Taizhi had been married.

According to the relevant laws of South Korea, the limitation of action for alimony and division of property is within three years after divorce, so both parties will claim different divorce dates. If the divorce date claimed by Xu Taizhi is calculated, Xu Taizhi will not have to pay any fees.

MBC television also revealed that the alimony Li Zhiya demanded from Xu Taizhi was not the 5 billion won (about 30 million yuan) previously reported by the media, but 500 million won. The 5 billion won was the amount Li Zhiya demanded to divide Xu Taizhi's property.

Personally confirm the secret marriage

Korean star Li Zhiya was revealed to have been secretly married to singer Xu Taizhi for many years. After the divorce broke out in April 2011, Xu Taizhi kept silent. On April 30, in the United States, he finally said through a friend, "after two years and nine months of marriage with Li Zhiya, i.e. in July 2000, she broke up. In 2006, she unilaterally applied for divorce in the U.S. court. At that time, both parties signed a divorce agreement, and the spiritual loss was already compensated." In addition, the amount "fully meets Li Zhiya's requirements". However, on January 19, 2011, his ex-wife went to the court again, demanding a total of 5.5 billion won in spiritual compensation and property distribution, which made him feel puzzled and dissatisfied. Li Zhiya responded quickly. On the afternoon of the same day, through her lawyer, she said that she decided to withdraw the lawsuit because the incident had caused great harm to her private life.

Xu Taizhi also left a message on the official website for the first time on the same day, apologizing to the fans for not disclosing the marriage and the uproar caused. He said that after he quit the music industry in 1996, he just wanted to get married and have children and live an ordinary life. "Unfortunately, this kind of life is not long. He separated from his wife in 2000 I'm sorry I can't tell you first.
