On the recent episode of JTBC's variety show 'Blatant Double Life,' aired on the 21st, the dual household lives of couples Jang Yoon-jung and Do Kyung-wan, along with Hong Hyun-hee and Jason, were revealed.
During the episode, Do Kyung-wan expressed, "I felt like I became the head of the Cultural Heritage Administration. When people meet me, their first words are, 'Is Yoon-jung doing well?' or 'Take good care of Yoon-jung.' As long as I treat Jang Yoon-jung well, that's all that matters to them. They have zero interest in me," he began.
Jang Yoon-jung explained, "Since his title became 'Jang Yoon-jung's husband,' Do Kyung-wan has been under a lot of stress. But it's not a situation I can control. He would get annoyed with me. Hearing comments like 'How nice it must be that your wife earns well' outside, he would come home stressed."
She continued, "I might be a bit conservative, but as a husband and the head of the family, he felt more stressed. Nevertheless, I always say 'my husband.' I rely on him, live thanks to him, and express that I can't maintain our marriage without him," she said with a smile.
Jang Yoon-jung, who even shares her appearance fees, added, "I want to boost his confidence so much that when we co-host a program and there's a big difference in our fees, I talk to the production team to allocate some of my fee to him."
In response, Hong Hyun-hee asked Do Kyung-wan, "Would you marry her again if you were reborn?" Do Kyung-wan replied, "I wouldn't. It's not because it's hard. If I were reborn with memories of this life, I would marry her, but I wouldn't have those memories. I would feel sorry every moment again. I don't want to feel sorry."
Meanwhile, the couple recently faced controversy due to announcer Kim Jin-woong's remarks. On KBS 2TV's variety show 'The Boss Has Donkey Ears,' Kim Jin-woong stated, "I can't live like senior Do Kyung-wan. It might be a rude comment, but I can't live as someone's subordinate."
In response, Jang Yoon-jung criticized on her social media, "Even without familiarity, words or actions that the other person can't laugh at can't be disguised as jokes or pranks. There's no subordinate in a family." Kim Jin-woong later issued an apology on his social media.
