Single mother and content creator Cho Seung-yeon, 37, marked the end of her marriage by throwing a divorce ceremony.

Instead of treating her divorce as a failure, she gathered her close friends to mark the end of her former life and the beginning of her next chapter. However, Cho received a backlash after posting about the ceremony online.

She told the BBC that she wants to fight the stigma surrounding divorced women and reclaim her identity beyond marriage.
