‘Fight with God’ Jo Young-nam explained the controversial words he said to Yoon Yeo-jeong.
Singer Jo Young-nam appeared on the first episode of MBN’s ‘Fight with God’, which was broadcast on the night of the 16th. Jo Young-nam took time to explain various keywords surrounding him.
The keyword ‘the best revenge’ came out. In relation to his ex-wife, Yoon Yeo-jeong, who won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her role in the movie ‘Minari’, he became controversial when he remarked that it was “the best revenge for the man who cheated on me.” Jo Young-nam said, “I didn’t think it would be controversial at the time. It’s an American joke,” and “Isn’t it interesting?” Gura Kim said, “Yoon Yeo-jeong is a national honor and pride.”
Jo Young-nam said, “If I say congratulations in a normal way, it’s not like me. You don’t know why the reporter called me. I feel like I got the best revenge on me for cheating on me. It’s okay. It’s good for both sides. It’s an unprecedented thing that both of them broke up.” He said, “I’m friends with Lee Jang-hee, and I meet them a lot, and they appear in TV commercials and movies, so it feels like we’re living together. It’s comfortable.”
Kim Gu-ra asked, “Isn’t Jang-hee Lee and Yeo-jeong Yoon going to meet and talk? Then what do you say?” Jo Young-nam said, “They said, ‘If you talk about Jo Young-nam, we won’t even meet you.'”
