Ryu Si Won, who is on the verge of a
high-profile divorce, has canceled his Japanese tour. Ryu made the announcement on his Japanese Web site JP Prince, asserting that the “2012 Spring Waltz with Ryu Si Won” could not go on as scheduled due to conflicting filming commitments.
“We are sorry to make the announcement and ask for your understanding,” Ryu’s agency said.
The tour was set to follow the theme of the drama on which Ryu is currently working. Yet despite the official statement, fans are speculating about whether Ryu’s personal life was the real reason for the tour’s cancellation.
“Our stance is that through mature dialogue and understanding, divorce may not be imminent. As Ryu loves his daughter so much, he is currently doing all that he can to keep his family together,” Ryu’s representative said on the star’s official Japanese Web site after news of Ryu’s possible divorce broke on April 9.

Actor Ryu Si Won put on a brave face as he returned to the set of his new drama, “Goodbye My Wife” on April 11.
Although filming at Paju in Gyeonggi was originally set for April 9, the date was pushed back when news of the Hallyu actor’s divorce surfaced on the day.
“Ryu seems a bit unsettled, but despite his personal life, he maintained his professionalism while filming,” said a representative from the drama series.
On April 9, Ryu’s
crumbling marriage was brought to the public’s attention. “The divorce application was filed on March 22, but no date for the case has been set yet,” said a source from the local channel.
Then on the following day, an attorney for Ryu’s wife appeared on SBS’s “Good Morning,” and said that his client Jo Soo-in was
demanding full-custody and didn’t want to reveal the reason “as a sign of respect to her former partner.” The couple wed in 2010 and Jo filed for divorce after 18 months and one child later.
Meanwhile, Ryu’s agency maintained that Ryu was trying his best to keep his family together and to avoid divorce for the sake of his young daughter.

Just a day after Hallyu actor Ryu Si Won’s
pending divorce was made public, on April 10, an attorney for Ryu’s wife has spoken about the terms that the former wife wants as well as other details.
“For the reason for the divorce, Jo Soo-in decided to leave it blank, as a sign of respect toward her celebrity former spouse. The speculation that she asked for the divorce because he is a drag racer is untrue,” said the attorney.
“As a mother, of course she believes that custody of the couple’s child should remain with her. Thus she has asked for full custody, this is the condition that she prized above all else.”
The lawyer also said that it is possible that the couple may come to an agreement that suits both parties, “depending on how Ryu reacts.”
The former wife of the entertainer is currently residing with her parents and the couple’s daughter.
