Model Jang Yoon-joo candidly shared her realistic concerns and hardships regarding caring for her parents even after marriage.
Recently, Jang Yoon-joo released a video of her time with acquaintances, discussing marriage, childbirth, and her profound feelings about family.
Having married businessman Jeong Seung-min, who is 4 years younger, in 2015, she said that she attempted natural conception for about two years shortly after her marriage, but hardly received any good news. Jang Yoon-joo noted, "I have always been underweight due to my long modeling career. It was difficult for me to conceive naturally as I weighed less than the average for my height."
She continued, "It wasn't that I didn't want to have children, but when I heard how difficult it was to conceive, I felt a wave of depression come over me."
Jang Yoon-joo also added that she continued to struggle with the burden of supporting her family after marriage. "It was exhausting and difficult to be in a situation where I had to continue supporting my parents. I wondered why I was still unable to separate from them despite being married. I had devoted too much time to my family," she lamented.
However, after going through all this time, a major turning point came for her as well. Jang Yoon-joo revealed that her life changed after becoming pregnant with her daughter, stating, "After I became pregnant, my sense of responsibility towards my parents gradually lessened. Their situation improved, and I felt a sense of independence," adding that thanks to her child, she found balance in her life.
In response to Jang Yoon-joo's confession, netizens expressed warm reactions, such as, "This is truly a realistic story," "I was moved to tears by Jang Yoon-joo's words. I can relate to her saying that getting married doesn't mean becoming independent," and "I feel like I'm truly becoming an adult through my child; it's very touching."
Meanwhile, Jang Yoon-joo is actively continuing her broadcasting activities, while also engaging in various communications through the fashion industry and YouTube.
