'Dongchimi' featured singer Jo Young-nam mentioning his ex-wife Yoon Yeo-jeong.
The MBN 'Sokpuri Show Dongchimi' (hereinafter 'Dongchimi') episode aired on the 9th was specially themed 'Kids, Your Oppa Is Still Alive' for its 700th episode. Jo Young-nam, Nam Jin, and Seol Woon-do appeared as guests.
That day, Jo Young-nam began by saying, "I was kicked out for cheating," and added, "Living alone, the most frustrating thing was having to go to the bank myself."

When MC Kim Yong-man asked, "You'd never gone before?" Jo Young-nam replied, "I hadn't. That was the most frustrating part. Even in the U.S., (my ex-wife) handled everything. After we broke up, I had to go to the bank. I resolved it with the help of a bank employee."
Hearing this, Noh Sa-yeon asked, "You went to the bank for the first time in your 40s?" Jo Young-nam responded, "It's been... since I broke up with my ex-wife," and added, "I'm not quite sure."
Jo Young-nam also revealed he didn't know how to transfer money, drawing surprise. When asked who currently manages his finances, he said, "My daughter does everything. The most fun thing is arguing with my daughter."
Continuing, Jo Young-nam said, "Because I got divorced, I became a painter. If I hadn't divorced and kept living with her, I wouldn't have become a painter. With a woman behind me, where would I have time to think alone? That's why I became a painter after we broke up," causing a stir in the studio.
Meanwhile, Jo Young-nam married actress Yoon Yeo-jeong in 1974 and had two sons. They later divorced in 1987. He remarried in 1995 to a non-celebrity woman 18 years his junior, but that marriage also ended in divorce.
