'Sokpuri Show Dongchimi' singer Cho Young Nam mentioned his ex-wife, actress Youn Yuh-jung, saying it doesn't feel like they divorced, surprising everyone.
On the 9th broadcast of MBN 'Sokpuri Show Dongchimi' (hereafter 'Dongchimi'), Cho Young Nam, Nam Jin, and Sul Woon-do appeared for a 700th episode special. Cho Young Nam's talk, even after meeting again after a long time, was as stunningly bold and direct as ever.
The discussion about the three leading actresses of Korea's film troika, Nam Jeong-im, Moon Hee, and Yoon Jeong-hee, came up because Nam Jin was asked, 'Who among the actresses you've actually seen is the most beautiful?' Nam Jin said, "It's a matter of personal taste. I prefer actress Nam Jeong-im," adding, "Nam Jeong-im had a big, robust figure for that era and a spirited personality that men liked." Sul Woon-do then teasingly said, "For the record, senior Nam Jin likes glamorous women."
Cho Young Nam, who appeared with Nam Jeong-im in the film 'My Only Once in My Life,' said, "I acted in a movie. I had a kissing scene with Nam Jeong-im," which surprised everyone. His close friend Nam Jin, very surprised, asked again, "You filmed a movie with her?" He had earlier said last week, "When I hung out with Cho Young Nam in my twenties, I set the mood, but the women all liked Cho Young Nam," commenting on Cho Young Nam's charm.
Cho Young Nam said, "Someone said I brought a toothbrush that day. They said I packed a toothbrush because I was going to kiss Nam Jeong-im," and added, "My then girlfriend, my ex-wife, was by my side, so I didn't think of anything else," revealing his fidelity. Hearing this, Nam Jin made a bewildered face and said, "Then why didn't you just live together?"
In a story that began, 'My mother wants a son-in-law like Nam Jin, but my husband is Cho Young Nam. Is Cho Young Nam such a poor husband?,' No Sa-yeon sided somewhat, saying, "I knew Cho Young Nam personally, so in my view Cho Young Nam is okay as a husband," defending him to an extent. Cho Young Nam said proudly, "I tell my daughter, 'You should meet a guy like me,'" adding, "There should be a guy who completely understands you and loves you to the end, and the sample of that guy is someone like me."
Nam Jin was flabbergasted and asked, "Are you telling her to get divorced like you?" and Cho Young Nam snapped, "Why is that being brought up now?" Nam Jin explained the duty of marriage, saying, "You should live with one person, would you want to live as complicated a life as you do?" but Cho Young Nam confidently said, "It doesn't feel like I divorced," which left everyone speechless.
Meanwhile, Cho Young Nam was not the only one shocked by a story that said, 'After mandatory retirement the husband got a new job right away; I thought he was truly responsible to the family. But one day a potency pill fell out of his pants. He had an affair with a woman he met at the same workplace. He demanded a settlement of 10 million won from that woman, and the husband paid that money. The husband now says he doesn't care if we divorce.'
He said, "I got divorced. I had an affair. The driver told his sister that I had an affair. When being interrogated I had to deny it and insist it wasn't true. I even said I honestly attended a theological seminary," and then neatly concluded, "They've lived together for 40 years, so it may be all right for them to separate."
