Cha Ju-ok confessed that her son was widowed when he was in middle school.
In the 35th episode of tvN STORY's 'Chairman's People', which aired on the 12th, Gangnam-gil actively recruited familiar faces from the popular drama 'Three Family of One Roof'.
The suspicious woman at the butcher's shop waiting for Gangnam-gil and Lee Gye-in, who went to the market to buy groceries, is actress Cha Joo-ok, who played the role of Paeng Mal-ja, Kangnam-gil's wife in 'Three Family of One Roof'. She also appeared as Lee Gye-in's wife in 'Joseon Dynasty 500 Years Han Jung-rok' and Jeong Soon-ok, a woman from the next village, in 'Jeonwon Diary'. In 'Three Families Under One Roof', Bong-soo and Mal-ja, who have opposite personalities, received a lot of support from viewers and even won the MBC Rookie Award. Cha Ju-ok had a touching 'couple reunion' with Gangnam-gil and a warm embrace. Lee Gye-in, who was another husband of Cha Ju-ok, who was watching this scene, said, "Go and do it where I'm not looking!"
Cha Ju-ok said that it has been 10 years since he took a break from broadcasting. Cha Joo-ok, who visited the chairman's family, confided about the past. Regarding the reason for covering one eye, he said, "I came because I was in a situation where I couldn't come because I was injured. Two days before the filming, he injured his eye and was about to undergo surgery, but he appeared because of Gangnam-gil's request and his affection for 'three families under one roof'.
After receiving the Rookie Award in 1989 for 'Three Families under One Roof', Cha Joo-ok suddenly embarked on a study trip to the United States. Cha Ju-ok confessed the reason for studying in the United States, "After the drama, I had no life. I had never had a proper rest." He continued, "I wanted to choose a job other than acting. I liked fashion, so I went abroad to study."
Cha Joo-ok said, "I am married and have a son. My son is 28 years old." About her husband, she said, "My son passed away when I was in middle school." Lee Gye-in worried, "Joo-ok has had a lot of ups and downs." Cha Joo-ok showed a positive side, saying, "It's not turbulent. Others are more. I'm grateful." Kim Hye-jung comforted her by saying, "It's a pity that my husband went first, but when I see my son, I can rely on him. I don't have a son, but don't you have a son?"
Lee Gye-in proudly revealed that he liked Cha Ju-ok in the past. In addition, during the filming of 'The Country Diary', Yoo In-chon arranged an episode where Lee Kye-in and Cha Ju-ok almost met.
