Singer Cho Young-nam once again mentioned his ex-wife, actress Yoon Yeo-jeong.

On the 12th, the KBS 1TV educational program 'Morning Market' featured Se Sib Bong's main cast members Cho Young-nam, Yoon Hyung-joo, and Kim Se-hwan.

That day, Cho Young-nam stated that Yoon Hyung-joo and Kim Se-hwan have been living happily with their wives for a long time. Yoon Hyung-joo said, "I have been with my wife for 52 years," while Kim Se-hwan said, "It has been 50 years for me."

Hearing this, Cho Young-nam remarked, "These friends have beaten me in only one thing." He then added, "Instead, I had a 'great divorce.' After the divorce, that woman did well, and I succeeded as a painter," mentioning Yoon Yeo-jeong.

In fact, Cho Young-nam and Yoon Yeo-jeong married in 1974 and had two sons. The two later divorced in 1987.

However, Cho Young-nam has previously sparked controversy by mentioning Yoon Yeo-jeong multiple times, noting her significant achievements in films such as 'Minari' and her awards at international film festivals. At that time, Cho Young-nam and Yoon Yeo-jeong were already strangers.

During his appearance on 'Morning Market' in 2021, Cho Young-nam spoke about his divorce from Yoon Yeo-jeong, saying, "I cheated, and that's why we divorced. I couldn't understand it back then," expressing regret over the past. He continued, "Why did I cheat while leaving my children behind? I am sorry now. I feel a sense of apology."

Additionally, Cho Young-nam revealed that there are many things he regrets in life, stating, "The biggest one is leaving my children and the house."

Cho Young-nam's mentions of Yoon Yeo-jeong continue to this day. On the 10th, during his appearance on MBN's 'Sokpuri Show Dongchimi', he said, "I was kicked out because I cheated. I needed money, but I had never been to a bank before." He added, "Even in the U.S., my ex-wife handled all the finances. After we broke up, I had to go to the bank myself. My daughter was too young, and it was the first time I went to a bank after the divorce."
