Singer Jang Yoon-jung shared family stories while dining with her father, who avoids appearing on broadcast programs.

On the 24th, a video titled “What It’s Like to Live as Jang Yoon-jung’s Father” was released on the YouTube channel “Jang Factory Jang Yoon-jung.”

In the video, Jang Yoon-jung introduced her father, saying, “I’m going to treat him to a meal. He’s my closest relative, but he might feel a bit uncomfortable and worried.”

She added, “He says he doesn’t want to appear on TV and is extremely reluctant to show his face on broadcasts. But when I told him we’d be eating something delicious, he took the bait,” drawing laughter from viewers.

While dining with her father, Jang Yoon-jung explained, “I went to my husband’s family home for Chuseok rituals and decided to visit beforehand to greet them.”

She also mentioned their similar personalities, saying, “It’s because I resemble my father,” highlighting the resemblance between father and daughter.

Jang Yoon-jung further revealed that she often feels uncomfortable when someone offers to treat her to a meal. She said, “If someone says they’ll buy me a meal, I feel uneasy and can’t even go in. I start wondering if they want something from me, which makes me feel uncomfortable.”

Her father strongly agreed with this sentiment. He remarked, “That’s exactly why I avoid showing my face anywhere and pretend to be nonexistent.”

Jang Yoon-jung expressed the heavy burden of wedding and funeral expenses: “Weddings are usually held on weekends, so I can’t attend due to work commitments and just send an envelope. But as I’ve gotten older, I find myself going to funerals more often. In most situations, I do attend, but giving the same amount as others feels a bit awkward.”

She continued, “The problem is that (Do) Kyung-wan also ends up spending a lot because of me,” mentioning Jang Yoon-jung’s husband, Do Kyung-wan.

Her father added, “Even I am affected by this. It’s definitely a burden. When neighbors hold celebrations and put money in envelopes, if I try to contribute 100,000 won, I think, ‘Am I going there to tarnish Jang Yoon-jung’s reputation?’ So I end up giving 200,000 or 300,000 won. It’s a dignity maintenance fee,” eliciting laughter from the audience.

At the same time, he emphasized that he has never proactively introduced himself as Jang Yoon-jung’s father. He stated, “I have no history of saying, ‘I’m Jang Yoon-jung’s father,’ wherever I go.”
