Singer Baek Ji-young (49) expressed her affection for her husband Jung Seok-won (40), who is 9 years younger, saying, "I have never thought about divorce even once. I still feel very good about him."
Baek Ji-young appeared in the trailer for SBS Plus and E Channel's 'Solo Because' that aired on the 29th. The trailer featured her meeting with her close friend Oh Yoon-ah.
In the trailer released at the end of the broadcast, Oh Yoon-ah visited a hospital and expressed her health concerns, saying, "I think I was under a lot of stress. I have been having frequent nosebleeds and increased my thyroid medication." The doctor responded, "There is an abnormal high fever. There might be a tumor related to cancer or the thyroid..." which caused Oh Yoon-ah to worry.
Afterward, she met with Baek Ji-young and candidly shared not only her health issues but also stories about their married lives and past events.
In particular, Baek Ji-young revealed their close relationship with candid remarks like, "When you don't think about it, you really don't," and "You have no eye for men at all."
Oh Yoon-ah mentioned, "How many times have I heard hurtful words in my life? He really wanted to marry me and was very obsessive," hinting at harsh words directed at her son Min, which added to the sadness.
Baek Ji-young was surprised and asked, "Really?" as she listened to Oh Yoon-ah. She also shared her own feelings honestly, saying, "I still feel very good about my husband. I have never thought about divorce. I shouldn't make such a guarantee."
Baek Ji-young married actor Jung Seok-won after a public romance and they have a daughter named Ha-im. They have been recognized as a representative couple in the entertainment industry with a significant age difference, but in 2018, Jung Seok-won was arrested on charges of methamphetamine use, which caused a huge shock.
At that time, Baek Ji-young personally apologized for her husband's controversy during her concert, expressing her heavy heart, and Jung Seok-won was sentenced to 10 months in prison with a 2-year probation, leading him to halt his activities and enter a period of reflection. Nevertheless, the couple maintained their family, and recently, Jung Seok-won has made surprise appearances at movie premieres and on Baek Ji-young's YouTube content, cautiously sharing updates about his life.
