Jung appeared on singer K.Will’s YouTube channel on Feb. 4 and shared an update on her life.
She said that when she married actor Baek Do Bin in 2009, she moved into her in-laws’ home. “I was young then, and I didn’t have friends who were married or anyone to advise me. I just naturally moved in after getting married — it wasn’t a decision I made after thinking it through a lot,” she said.
Jung said she has never lived alone with her husband, so she did not feel it was a major inconvenience. But she added that when she meets other parents these days, “there’s no one living like I do,” and that looking back, she realizes it can be more uncomfortable than for others.
“Other people change clothes when they go out. I change clothes when I leave my room,” she said. “I’ve never lain down on the living room sofa to watch TV. I think my father-in-law is the same. It’s consideration within the family, so I don’t think it’s a bad thing.”
She also said her father died less than a month after she gave birth to her first child, Jun Woo. “My dad gave me unconditional love, and he passed away right when I was starting to understand what parents go through,” she said. “I promised myself I would do for my father-in-law what I couldn’t do for my dad. With that in mind, I try to take better care of him and prepare things for him, but honestly it isn’t easy.”
Jung said she would oppose her daughter living with her in-laws. “Living with parents isn’t easy. Beyond being parent and child, adult to adult, the direction of life you pursue is different,” she said. “I hope my daughter doesn’t have to live that way.”
