Actress Hwang Jung-eum could not hide her surprise at the sudden mention of her ex-husband.

On the 5th, a video titled "Meeting Senior Jewelry Jung and Reliving the Past" was uploaded to Hwang Jung-eum's YouTube channel.

That day, Hwang Jung-eum met actor Lee Jeong-seok, with whom she formed a bond through the MBC sitcom "High Kick! Revenge of the Short Leg."

As Lee Jeong-seok recalled memories with Hwang Jung-eum, he began by saying, "When Hwang Jung-eum got married, she immediately invited the 'High Kick' team to her new home for a housewarming party."

He continued, "I really hoped they would live happily. From what I saw, the groom looked so sad," prompting Hwang Jung-eum to become visibly flustered before quickly becoming solemn.

Addressing Hwang Jung-eum directly, Lee Jeong-seok said, "I understand your heart completely. I'm talking about the impression I had when I first saw you. No one can interfere in a couple's affairs."

He then reiterated, "The two of you looked so happy at the housewarming party that I just hoped for your happiness," which brought laughter from everyone.

Hwang Jung-eum responded to Lee Jeong-seok, saying, "I am so happy right now," to which he replied, "How much hardship must one endure to feel this happiness?" causing everyone to burst into laughter.

Lee Jeong-seok also added, "What married couple wouldn't want to live well? That's why they had to break up," showing empathy for Hwang Jung-eum's difficult feelings, and she eventually shed tears.

Meanwhile, Hwang Jung-eum married former professional golfer Lee Young-don in 2016 and has two sons. The couple submitted a divorce mediation request to the court after four years of marriage in September 2020 but reconciled in July 2021. However, it was revealed in February 2024 that they had filed for divorce three years after their reconciliation.

Subsequently, Hwang Jung-eum was indicted last May on charges of embezzling approximately 4.3 billion won from her one-person production company's funds and received a two-year prison sentence with a four-year probation period in the first trial. Since Hwang Jung-eum did not appeal the first-trial verdict, the sentence became final.
