Jo Jung-seok chose the moment his daughter was born as the 'highlight of his life.'
Actor Jo Jung-seok appeared on tvN's entertainment show 'You Quiz on the Block', which aired on the 4th, as a special feature titled 'A Scene from My Life'.
Yoo Jae-seok said to Jo Jung-seok, "Among the staff, he is famous for being friendly and loyal. They said that if you can't make it to the congratulatory meeting, they will send someone else." The other person is my wife, Gummy. Jo Jung-seok said, "When I have an emergency, I ask the person I live with." He added, "When I say, 'I can't go and my wife is going,' he says, 'Wow! Thank you,' and he likes it even more," making everyone laugh.
Jo Jung-seok married Gummy in 2018 and welcomed their daughter in 2020. When the story of his 4-year-old daughter came up, Jo Jung-seok said, "Unfortunately, she is very similar to when I was young. Her hands and feet are also shaped the same way." When asked about their daughter's singing skills, as her mother and father are both good at singing, she said, "I don't know if she's good at singing yet, but she has a good voice." He also expressed his affection, saying, "I did almost everything up to about 100 days. I washed it, fed it, and put it to sleep. I wanted to do that because it was precious, lovely, and pretty. Even the poop was pretty, everything was pretty."
Yoo Jae-seok asked Jo Jung-seok, “He said he was already worried that his daughter would have a boyfriend.” Jo Jung-seok said, "I didn't know it would be like this, but rather than hating it, I wonder how I should accept this situation."
Jo Jung-seok told an anecdote about how he started drinking while cutting his daughter's nails. He said, “When I was a newborn, I cut my nails, but my hands were so small that I just pinched the flesh.” He was upset once again, saying, "I was bleeding, but I was crying and crying. I was drinking during the day... I was really upset and in tears." At the same time, she revealed her daughter's foolish side, saying, "I did it and the child cried, and the sky fell for me. Afterwards, I got a little drunk. I put the child to sleep and complained to my friends who were raising the child, and I was on the verge of tears."
When asked, ‘If you had to choose one moment from your life, what would it be?’, Jo Jung-seok chose “When my child was born.” He said, "It was a touching moment that I dare say was the highlight of my entire life. I was dazed and had an indescribable feeling. The nurse was helping the mother and child touch each other's cheeks, and the mother was so moved that she cried. Something just happened." “There is such a thing,” he said.
