Cho Young-nam, controversial remarks erupted

Singer Cho Young-nam recommended divorce to Shin Dong-yup.

Part 1 of the KBS2 entertainment show 'Immortal Songs - Singing a Legend', which aired on the 10th, featured artist Cho Young-nam.

On this day, December DK said, "The song I will sing today is called 'I Can't Live Without Love.' I know that it is a song that brother Cho Young-nam especially cherishes, for which he wrote and composed the lyrics." Cho Young-nam corrected him by saying, "That is a bit wrong." .

Jo Young-nam then indirectly mentioned his first wife, Yoon Yeo-jeong, saying, "The lyricist is Kim Han-gil, a friend of mine who works in the National Assembly. (When I) was kicked out of my first house, I stayed with Kim Han-gil's house, and the first part was written by Kim Han-gil, and the second part was made by me." did.

Also, Jo Young-nam said about 'I Can't Live Without Love', "People said that this song doesn't suit you. I failed at love and got divorced twice. Every time I sing this song, I feel like I've gone too far in love." “I don’t think I deserve to be called,” he said.

Shin Dong-yeop said, "Even though you got married because you love each other, there are cases where you end up getting divorced due to unavoidable circumstances, and aren't there times when lovers break up?" Jo Young-nam replied, "Dong-yeop, try getting divorced once. You won't think about that."

Shin Dong-yeop, who has been married for 17 years, said to Cho Young-nam, who said, "I lived for 13 years," "You can't believe I asked my junior who is living well to get a divorce. Whenever I have a hard time, I will keep my senior's words in mind and say, 'I will never divorce,' and live a prosperous and happy life. "He promised.

Afterwards, Jo Young-nam, after watching Jeong Dong-ha and DK's performance, asked, "I think they are close to 40 years old. Are they married?" Shin Dong-yeop said, "They say they are married and have no intention of divorcing. If you only look at married people, you will say, 'They are not divorced.' “I hope people will think, ‘I hope you don’t get divorced like me,’ rather than ‘Why don’t you get divorced?’” he repeatedly asked.

Meanwhile, Jo Young-nam married actress Yoon Yeo-jeong in 1974, but divorced in 1987. In 1995, he remarried Baek Eun-sil, who was 18 years younger than him, and divorced once again.
