SEOUL (Yonhap) — Actor-singer Ryu Si-won’s five-year marriage ended on Wednesday as a local court ruled in favor of his wife in a divorce suit, judicial sources said.

The Seoul Family Court ordered Ryu to pay 30 million won ($27,700) in alimony to his wife surnamed Cho, recognizing the actor’s responsibility in the marriage’s demise, they said.

His ex-wife was also granted custody of their daughter, and Ryu was ordered to pay monthly child support of 2.5 million won ($2,308).

The 42-year-old actor was also ordered to give 390 million won ($360,000) or 15 percent of the property assets that he accumulated during the marriage to his wife, according to sources.

The couple married in October 2010 and have one daughter, but began divorce proceedings about two years later.

In 2013, he was accused of planting GPS tracking devices on his estranged wife’s car and mobile phone to track her whereabouts, and then assaulting her when she protested the surveillance.

In September last year, the Supreme Court upheld a 7-million-won ($6,460) fine imposed on him for the assault and blackmailing his wife.
