Bayern Munich star announces shock divorce from wife after four years of marriage

Central defender Kim Min Jae has confirmed via his agency that he has separated from Ahn Ji Min. The couple tied the knot in 2020 and have one child together.

The Bayern Munich star, who is also a regular started in the South Korean national team, claimed that their marriage ended amicably. He also apologised to his fans for their separation - which might seem strange to us but is traditional for Korean celebrities, whose fans are so deeply invested in their lives.

His statement, which came via Orange Ball, said: “After careful consideration, Kim Min Jae has decided to end his marriage and has amicably completed the divorce process. The two made the decision to divorce due to differences in personality and will continue to support each other as they go their separate ways. As parents, they will prioritize their child and do their utmost.

“We apologize for delivering unfortunate news to the fans who have supported and loved Kim Min Jae. As always, he remains committed to giving his best on the field.”

The 28-year-old has played 12 games for the Bungesliga giants so far this season, getting one goal in the process. Five of those games have also ended in clean sheets for Vincent Kompany’s side.
