‘Dementia’ Yoon Jeong-hee’s current status “A stage that can no longer be hidden… I felt hopeless as a husband”

Pianist Baek Geon-woo shared the current status of his wife and actress Yoon Jeong-hee.

On TV Chosun’s ‘Star Documentary My Way’ (hereinafter ‘My Way’) broadcast on the 5th, pianist Baek Geon-woo appeared and told stories about daily life and family.

On this day, Baek Geon-woo said, “I’ve come to a stage where I can’t hide it anymore, and it seemed like the people who love Yoon Jeong-hee should know. In fact, I thought it was time to announce it because I couldn’t appear on the screen again.”

Geon-woo Baek said, “It is very peaceful and beautiful. Right now, at least four or five people are helping each other, and now I want you to keep that peaceful life a little bit.” “Peacefully, the surroundings are good, the nature is very good, and our Jinhee looks at us very hard from the side. I went on vacation now, but that’s because I’m staying. I am with my daughter and helpers,” he added about living in France.

Baek Geon-woo said, “Each one is a memory. We are the sum of the countless memories in our heads.

What we call our lives exists because we remember them. Next to Baek Geon-woo, he looked more beautiful and transformed into a finer, but it’s really sad that he is showing a fatally difficult condition. As a husband, I felt more hopeless because there was no cure for the disease that Jung-hee Yoon was suffering from.”

Geon-Woo Baek and Jeong-Hee Yoon have been together on concert tours at home and abroad for 40 years since they got married in 1976, and were called the ‘parakeet couple’ in the cultural world.
