Kim Bo-ra Announces Divorce After 11 Months—Then Posts a Striking Message on Instagram

Actress Kim Bo-ra has officially confirmed her divorce from director Jo Barun—just 11 months after their wedding—and marked the moment with a quietly powerful post on social media.

On May 10, the same day her agency NUN Company announced the news, Kim Bo-ra took to Instagram to share a series of photos from her recent appearance at the Jeonju International Film Festival, where she served as MC for the closing ceremony.

Alongside the photos, she wrote a single word: “The end.”

Symbolic Phrases and Quiet Strength

Among the photos Kim shared were cue cards from the ceremony, featuring poignant lines such as:

“This moment is not the end.”

“We will cross another boundary.”

“We were happy.”

The timing of the post—on the day her divorce was made public—drew attention for its poetic, perhaps reflective undertone.

Divorce Confirmed by Agency

Earlier that day, Kim’s agency confirmed the news, stating:

“After careful consideration and enough conversation, Kim Bo-ra has amicably finalized her divorce with Jo Barun through mutual agreement.”

The statement added a respectful request:

“We ask that the public refrain from spreading speculative or provocative rumors regarding this matter.”

From Co-Stars to Former Spouses

Kim Bo-ra and director Jo Barun first met on the set of the 2021 horror film “The Grotesque Mansion”, where they formed a connection. After nearly three years of dating, the couple married in June 2023. Less than a year later, they’ve chosen to part ways.

A Career That Continues to Evolve

Kim Bo-ra made her debut in 2005 in the drama “Wedding” as a child actress, but her breakout came in 2017 with the hit series “SKY Castle.” She has since appeared in various dramas including: Touch, Death to Snow White – Blackout, Only One Person, Just That Person, and Black Dog. Her film credits include: The Grotesque Mansion, The Ghost Station (Oksu), and Where Would You Like to Go? The actress also recently made headlines as the late Kim Sae-ron's best friend.
