This is a review article written after watching the broadcast.
"Sikgaek: Heo Yeongman's dining tour" singer Jang Yoon Jeong conveyed the harrowing past that was hidden behind her spectacular success and her current happy news of having regained leisure.
On the 15th, the TV Chosun program "Sikgaek: Heo Yeongman's dining tour" aired, and for Lunar New Year it visited Ganghwa County, an island bordering the Korean Peninsula, where it met the "national trot singer" Jang Yoon Jeong, who had a birthday on Lunar New Year.
Jang Yoon Jeong confessed differences in taste with her husband Do Kyung Wan while enjoying gukbap. She said, "I like gukbap, so I eat it most when I'm on schedule. My taste doesn't match my husband's, so he can't eat this. My husband doesn't like innards. He doesn't like feet," causing laughter as she described not being able to enjoy jokbal or chicken feet together.
In a serious conversation, Jang Yoon Jeong recalled her 23-year-old 'Eomeona' days when she re-debuted as a trot singer and received nationwide love. While saying, "I think it was divine luck," she also revealed a past so grueling that she had no time to tend to her health because of murderous schedules. Jang Yoon Jeong confessed, "There was no time, so I had no time to rest at service areas; if I collapsed and went to the hospital, it was malnutrition," adding to the poignancy.
She said there were so many events that even vehicle maintenance costs were beyond imagination. Jang Yoon Jeong said, "After two years you scrap the car. Then the car goes 'eh~'. Fuel costs were 250 million won a year," and added, "Except for Dokdo and Ulleungdo, I think I went everywhere. I took boats to islands. If you colored it in, I'd have colored it all. When you return a rental car it was in a condition you couldn't use it, so I was on the blacklist," suggesting the tremendous amount of activity at the time.
Having gone through a difficult 20s and now a veteran singer and mother of two, Jang Yoon Jeong said, "Now I know how grateful I am. They say, 'You guys are really lucky to have a mother like Jang Yoon Jeong.'" She said she makes cute boasts to her children, turning the scene into a joyful sea of laughter.
