Comedian Jung Kyung-mi (46) revealed that she has stopped broadcasting activities and is currently running an English musical academy in Songdo, Incheon.
On Wednesday, a video titled “From national fairy to academy director?! I went to experience being a daily shutter man following my wife Jung Kyung-mi’s unexpected recent status” was released on comedian Yoon Hyung-bin’s YouTube channel.
In the video, Yoon visited the English musical academy run by his wife, Jung.
Pointing to a keyboard placed in one corner of the classroom, Jung said it was “the only gift my husband gave me when I opened the academy,” while also revealing that he “only searched for audio equipment,” which drew laughter.
Jung, who is currently focusing on running the academy after stepping away from broadcasting, said, “It seems to suit my aptitude well as I do it. It’s also fun, and I receive a lot of good energy being with the children. It feels rewarding to see them grow.”
The video also showed Jung and Yoon’s children participating in various performances.
Jung said, “My son is also actively working as a student,” adding, “When you look at the overall performance, the quality of the makeup and costumes is high. Since there are many people, we hired a separate makeup artist, but we made all the costumes, props, and wigs ourselves.”
The academy’s operation also appeared to be going smoothly. When Yoon asked, “I heard there is a rumor that the students are fully booked,” Jung replied, “Yes. There is a waiting list.”
In response, Yoon acknowledged his wife’s passion, saying, “That’s understandable. Whether sitting or standing, you’re always thinking about the children.”
When told that people around them are suggesting Yoon should quit his business to help run Jung’s academy, Jung said, “I prefer to keep it small and live harmoniously with the children. My husband tends to operate on a large scale, but this size is just right for me.”
Yoon elicited laughter by saying, “When we first started, I told her it would be much harder than she thought. Since there are many things to worry about, I subtly suggested whether she should just stick to broadcasting, and then she showed her claws.”
Jung revealed, “I felt like, ‘He (my husband) is doing business too, so why can’t I?’ I know what that feeling is,” adding, “It has been about a year and six months now, and I have adapted. There are also many parents who support us. I want to go all-in on running the academy in the future as well.”
