Singer Cho Young-nam revealed that an episode he experienced with actress Yoon Yeo-jeong during their marriage in the United States was the funniest story of his life.
On the 26th, Cho Young-nam appeared as a special guest on MBN's 'Sokpuri Show Dongchimi' (hereinafter 'Dongchimi') for the Chuseok special episode.
Cho Young-nam said, "I have the funniest story of my life," adding that he often recalls his days in the U.S. during holidays.

Cho Young-nam once lived in the United States when he was married to Yoon Yeo-jeong. He said, "When we were living in the U.S., my son and his friend's son were about the same age. The mother of that family was singer Lima Kim. While the children were fishing, Lima Kim suddenly screamed 'Aaah!'"
He continued, "(Lima Kim's son) had thrown a fishing hook that got stuck in (Lima Kim's) nose. At that moment, I realized that emotion can overcome reason. It was so funny. As her husband held and shook the rod, the hook went even deeper. She cut the fishing line in the kitchen and we went to the hospital."
Cho Young-nam added, "The husband stood at the front holding the fishing rod, Lima Kim followed behind, and their son trailed along like a criminal. That procession was so funny. After arriving at the hospital, Yoon Yeo-jeong and I started laughing uncontrollably. The laughter hurt my stomach. We rolled around on the floor laughing all the way to the hospital."

Meanwhile, Cho Young-nam married actress Yoon Yeo-jeong in 1971, went to study abroad in the U.S., returned to Korea, and had two sons before divorcing in 1987.
Cho Young-nam has often drawn attention by mentioning Yoon Yeo-jeong on various broadcasts. In May, during an episode of KBS 1TV's 'Morning Plaza,' he stated that his marriage lasted 13 years and compared himself to Yoon Hyung-joo and Kim Se-hwan, saying, "Instead, I had a 'great divorce.' After the divorce, she did well, and I succeeded as a painter," while referring to Yoon Yeo-jeong.
