Actress Hwang Jeong-eum revealed her ambition to take on a musical stage.

A video titled "Meeting with Jewelry Jung, the day I was summoned to recall the past" was posted on Hwang Jeong-eum's YouTube channel on the 5th.

On that day, Hwang Jung-eum met with actor Lee Jeong-seok and confessed, "I used to think acting was the most difficult, but after taking a break from acting and gaining various other experiences, I realized there are too many other things that are extremely difficult."

In response, Jeong Seok said, "Acting is still the most difficult," and added to Hwang Jung-eum, "You should try theater."

Hwang Jung-eum said, "I want to try a musical. I was once a singer, a dancer, and a member of the Little Angels," expressing her interest in musicals.

Informationist Lee Jeong-seok said, "But you have to audition. My friend is a musical producer," while Hwang Jung-eum showed interest by saying, "If you want to do (musical), I can connect you with my senior."

However, Lee Jeong-seok firmly drew the line, saying, "That is not allowed. I will create an opportunity for you to participate in the audition."

Hwang Jung-eum revealed, "I suddenly want to try doing a musical. But since I'm raising two children, I can't work."

Hearing this, Jeong Bo-seok advised, "Actors should not do such things. There are senior actors who raised many children until they were 90 and continued to act. Actors are people destined to be lonely."

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

Hwang Jeong-eum was subsequently indicted last May on charges of embezzling approximately 4.3 billion won in funds from her one-person planning company, and she was sentenced to two years in prison with a four-year probation period at the first instance. Since Hwang did not appeal the first-instance verdict, the sentence became final as is.
