Park Hwan-hee’s Love Life
Due to her rising popularity that came from her role in Descendants of The Sun (2016), Park Hwan-hee’s personal life also rose to public awareness, and a number of people were shocked by what they learned.
Park Hwan-hee is actually a divorcee and a mother. She married rapper Bill Stax (previously known as Vasco) in July, 2011. At the time, she was 23 years-old and already pregnant. She gave birth to a baby boy named Shin Seop in January, 2012. She and Bill Stax lived together for 15 months before divorcing in December, 2012, due to personality conflicts. Bill Stax took custody of their son and got a lot of sympathy from the general public for his position as a single father. He also brought his son and his story into the famous rap in “Show Me The Money”, which was moving a lot of people.
In September, 2018, Bill Stax was revealed to have been smoking marijuana since around May, 2015. Park Hwan-hee then took custody of their son and started to speak about him publicly. Some netizens congratulated her while others criticized her for never having shared any pictures of him and remaining silent about him prior to that.
Bill Stax’s current girlfriend, Ms. Lee, shared a post targeting Park Hwan-hee and she seemed to be fighting back for the custody of their son. The post read:
“Everyone, you might’ve thought I only had one son, Lucy, but I actually have three sons. The oldest son Dong-yeol (Bill Stax), the second Hyung Seop, and maknae Lucy.
Oh yeah, and someone said Hyung Seop hates taking pictures? You only saw Hyung Seop several times, so why are you speaking nonsense? I have a lot to lose and I’m honest so I hate liars. Anyway, Dong-yeol is the best dad no matter what they say. Waiting my love.”
She also hashtagged “He’s my Dong Yeol. I’m going to get at you if you bother him. I’m the head of our house.”
