Model and actress Jang Yoon-joo mentioned her past experiences with prejudice against the profession of modeling.

Jang Yoon-ju released a video titled "The Day I Went to My PD's House and Shared Everything from Arranged Marriage Stories to Boyfriend's Parents Opposing Our Relationship" through her YouTube channel 'Yoonjule Jang Yoon-ju' on the 1st.

In the video, Jang Yoon-ju recalled that time when she was about to get married and answered, "There was opposition from my husband's family." She continued, "Even in the past, when I introduced my boyfriend to his parents, they mostly viewed me negatively because of my modeling profession."

Jang Yoon-ju said, "At that time, perceptions of models were very different from today's. Due to prejudices against the profession, many people opposed our relationship, and I was deeply hurt and often cried over it." She added, "The hardest part was not being welcomed even before my partner had a chance to meet me directly."

He added, "I heard that when my husband told his parents he wanted to marry someone, his mother expressed concern, asking, 'Is it okay for someone who does such things to enter our home?'"

Jang Yoon-ju said, "At the time, she appeared on the EBS program 'Mother's Journey' with her mother, and the show featured their family's story of living a simple life and growing vegetables directly in an attic." She added that her husband encouraged his parents to watch the program, telling them, "He is not someone who is extravagant or materialistic; he grew up even more simply than we did." After watching the broadcast, her mother-in-law reportedly said, "I think I had held some prejudices," and opened her heart.

Jang Yoon-ju married entrepreneur Jung Seung-min, who is four years her junior, in April 2015 and has one daughter.
