Singer Jo Young-nam said that when his ex-wife Yoon Yeo-jeong received the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her role in the movie ‘Minari’, she sent a bouquet of flowers anonymously.
Jo Young-nam appeared on the first episode of MBN’s entertainment show ‘One with God’, which was first broadcast on the 16th, and expressed his position regarding various rumors surrounding him.
In an interview with a media outlet after Yoon Yeo-jeong won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress, Jo Young-nam said that she did not expect the aftermath at all in relation to what she said, ‘The best shot against cheating men, is revenge.’
He said, “I was talking about setting a candle. If I say congratulations quietly, it’s not like me,” he said.
Jo Young-nam and “Lee Jang-hee, my best friend, is also close with Yoon Yeo-jeong.” He said, “When Lee Jang-hee tells Jo Young-nam’s news to Yoon Yeo-jeong, he says, ‘If you talk about Jo Young-nam, I won’t even see you.'”
When asked why she continued to talk about Yoon Yeo-jeong through the media despite Yoon Yeo-jeong’s reaction, Jo Young-nam replied, “Because I asked a question,” and was injustice.
When Cho Young-nam heard the news of Yun Yeo-jeong, he also delivered a bouquet of flowers. Jo Young-nam said, “Lee Jang-hee told me to send flowers three times without a name.” “I did what I was told, but the delivery driver said ‘If the recipient comes one more time, I will report it to the police,’ so I said that I couldn’t deliver it.”
Jo Young-nam and Yoon Yeo-jeong married in 1974, but divorced in 1987 because of Cho Young-nam’s affair.
