The late Seo Se-won and Seo Jung-hee's daughter, broadcaster Seo Dong-ju, recalled a time after her divorce when she had only 300,000 won to her name.

On the 3rd, Seo Dong-ju uploaded a video titled "What It Means to Be the Child of a Famous Celebrity | Why Challenges Become Easier as You Age" on her YouTube channel 'Seo Dong-ju's 'Tto.Do.Dong''.

In the video, Seo Dong-ju stated, "After my divorce, I truly had not a single won. There were times when I only had 300,000 won—about 300 dollars—but even then, I kept pushing forward and taking on challenges."

She continued, "Even when I had no money, things weren't going well, I had nothing, and the 30th years I had lived felt utterly futile, I still tried to do something and attempted to take on challenges."

Regarding her 'golden spoon' perception, Seo Dong-ju said, "I would be deeply grateful if you didn't look at me cynically thinking, 'It's easy for you because your situation allows it.' Instead, please think, 'Ah, Seo Dong-ju did this even in such moments and is still doing it now. Because she kept going back then, she can do it today.'"

Previously, in the 2024 TV CHOSUN program 'Now I'm Alone', Seo Dong-ju had shared that "Even though I was born into a golden spoon family, when my father's program ended (due to business failures, etc.), we faced many difficulties."

Meanwhile, Seo Dong-ju is the daughter of broadcasters Seo Se-won and Seo Jung-hee.

Seo Dong-ju married in the United States in 2010 and divorced in 2014. She married a partner four years younger than her on the 4th, 2025. Her husband is known to be the manager of broadcaster Jang Sung-gyu. Seo Dong-ju publicly revealed her struggle with infertility and shared details of her IVF process. In April, she disclosed that she experienced a miscarriage during an IVF procedure, drawing sympathy from many.
