Writer Jang Jeong-yoon, “Married life? Being happy is a pretense.”

Writer Jang Jeong-yoon spoke honestly about his married life with Kim Seung-hyun.

Recently, a video titled ‘My daughter-in-law was disappointed by my in-laws’ was posted on the YouTube channel ‘Kim Seung-hyun Family’.

Kim Seung-hyeon and Jang Jeong-yoon visited their home to celebrate the Lunar New Year and the birthday of their father, Kim Eon-jung. Jang Jeong-yoon handed the jumper she bought as a gift to her mother-in-law, Baek Ok-ja. My mother-in-law tried on clothes, saying, "You need a lot of clothes because you're doing YouTube. You'll also need a lot of clothes if you start filming on YouTube in the future." Seunghyeon Kim said, “It would be better if you look at the price tag.” The price of the jumper is 166,000 won. Mrs. Baek Ok-ja was shocked.

Jang Jeong-yoon said, “Mom, I brought you something else,” and handed her a hairpin as a gift. The mother-in-law was satisfied, saying, “People will look at my daughter-in-law well and say that she does a lot of pretty things and wears a lot of pretty clothes.” Kim Seung-hyun and his father-in-law were annoyed. Jang Jeong-yoon nagged, “Please react.” Kim Seung-hyun complained, “When I was asked on the broadcast, ‘Are you okay with your married life?’, I said, ‘Well, it’s okay.’” Jang Jeong-yoon said calmly, “I said it was pretty good.” When Kim Seung-hyeon said, "I should say, 'I'm so happy, I'm living well,'" Jang Jeong-yoon said, "That's a lie. People are happy and fight in their lives. That's how people live. I'm happy. This is a pretense." In response, the father-in-law gave advice, saying, "Jung Yoon-ah, broadcasting should be done in a slightly exaggerated way. You can't just do it straight away. It should have a little something like that added to it. You shouldn't be too principled."
