Comedian Jo Hye-ryun Praises Husband's Musical Talent and Business Acumen
On the October 21st episode of KBS2's 'Park Won-sook's Live Together,' Jo Hye-ryun appeared as a guest.
Jo, who is actively pursuing various fields such as musicals and plays, proudly stated, "The musical 'I Love You, Mom,' which my husband produced and I directed, was successful enough to take us to Sydney and LA. The response was so positive that my husband ended up acquiring the theater. He's really good at what he does."
Jo also opened up about her love story with her current husband. "My husband was in China. After my divorce, I felt lonely, so I started learning Chinese and traveled back and forth, which is how we met. At that time, he wasn't involved in production or anything like that. He lived in China for seven years but chose to come to Korea to be with me, and that's when we started working together," she revealed.
She continued, "After getting married, I discovered that my husband is talented in songwriting and composing. He wanted to pursue music in middle school, but his parents discouraged him, saying it was too costly, so he studied trade instead. After meeting me, his musical talents emerged, and now he continuously creates songs. He even co-wrote the song for the musical 'I Love You, Mom.'"
Jo reflected on her past, saying, "I used to be very jealous and compared myself to my colleagues. My friend Jin-hee once told me, 'You have too much greed in your eyes. It will wear you out.' But I didn't listen back then, thinking she was just jealous." Now, Jo has let go of her greed. "After experiencing many ups and downs, I've learned to let go of my desires. I focus on doing my best with the tasks at hand and aim to energize others, which naturally leads to more work," she confessed.
