Comedian Jung Hyeong-don (48) shared his thoughts as he concludes five years of life as a "migratory bird dad."
On the 17th, a video titled "Our Attitude Toward Ending Our Life in Hawaii [Hawaii Life – Recording the Final Month]" was released on the YouTube channel "Han Jaga" (Writer Han), run by Jung's wife, writer Han Yu-ra.
In the video, Han Yu-ra sat across from Jung in the condo where she had lived with their twin daughters for five years in Hawaii, and they engaged in a conversation.
She asked Jung, "How does it feel to return home in triumph after finishing your eagle's life?" and Jung joked, "Return home in triumph? We should drop the word 'gold.'"
Jung credited his wife. He said, "Han Yu-ra, you worked hard. Truly, for five years," and Han Yu-ra replied, "Someone actually told me I had worked very hard for five years, but since no one in our family has been spared hardship, I couldn't take credit."
Jung asked, "If you were to give a score (for the life in Hawaii), what would it be?" and Han Yu-ra answered, "4.2 out of 5 points. I was able to experience things and spend my time productively in Hawaii, but because there were personally difficult times, I deducted 0.8 points as a regret."
Han told Jung, "Was it worth all the countless trips back and forth for you? You worked incredibly hard."
In response, Jung revealed the background behind starting his "migratory life," saying, "As you know, I was someone who really wanted to study abroad, so perhaps my childhood deprivation also surfaced strongly. I had a desire to be compensated, even if only through my children. In a way, it was my own desire."
Meanwhile, Jung married Han, a former broadcast writer, in 2009 and welcomed twin daughters in 2012. Han had been living in Hawaii for the education of their two daughters, while Jung continued his broadcasting activities in Korea, traveling back and forth between Korea and Hawaii to spend time with his family.
