Actress Hwang Jung-eum said she was shocked at the time of Jo Yoon-hee's divorce.
On the 14th, a video titled "The day I went to eat abalone with my older sisters Lee Young and Yoon-hee" was posted on the YouTube channel 'Hwang Jung-eum.' The video captured Hwang Jung-eum meeting with Shim Yi-young and Jo Yoon-hee.
On that day, Hwang Jung-eum felt a difference between her own experience of raising two sons and the experiences of Shim Yi-young and Jo Yoon-hee in raising their daughters. In particular, she appeared moved when Jo Yoon-hee said, "I want to become the kind of mother my daughter wants."
In the course of the conversation, Hwang Jung-eum caught attention by saying, "There was a news article about your divorce before. I was really shocked by your divorce." Jo Yoon-hee laughed and replied, "It was shocking for me too."
Hwang Jung-eum continued, "The reason I am bringing this up is that you are incredibly strong. Divorce is not something just anyone does. And for a female actress to get divorced is enormous..." Jo Yoon-hee empathized by saying, "Right, it's scary."
Following this, Hwang Jung-eum candidly stated, "It is truly a terrifying matter that requires accepting all of that. There is also the fear that your livelihood could be cut off immediately. At that time, I thought you were very strong. Not just strong, but brave."
Hwang Jung-eum then added, "Watching how well you are raising Roa (Jo Yoon-hee's daughter) was really impressive," to which Jo Yoon-hee responded, "I didn't know I was that brave either."
Jo Yoon-hee married actor Lee Dong-gun in 2017 and had a daughter, Roa, but divorced in 2020. Hwang Jung-eum married businessman Lee Young-don, a former professional golfer, in 2016 and has two sons. After overcoming one divorce crisis, she announced in February 2024 that she was undergoing divorce proceedings, and subsequently completed the divorce through legal procedures. She is currently raising her two sons on her own.
