On the 24th, a video titled "What It Means to Live as Jang Yoon-jung's Dad" was released on the YouTube channel 'Jang Gongjang Jang Yoon-jung'.

That day, Jang Yoon-jung's father emphasized that he never took the initiative to present himself as her father. He said, "I've lived without showing my face anywhere and pretending I don't exist," adding, "There is no record of me ever saying 'I'm Jang Yoon-jung's dad' wherever I went."

Recalling his daughter's childhood, he said, "Children are special. If I could go back to when Yoon-jeong was 3 or 4 years old again, I would give my life to find out what she loves and do everything for her—even if it meant stealing."

He continued, "It pains me that I couldn't fulfill even one-tenth of what she wanted. If I hadn't just earned a living in my own way but had spent everything on my child, I could have done more. The fact that I couldn't do that is heartbreaking."

He said, "I was just accumulating debt and couldn't endure it anymore, so I tried to avoid it. Since the debt would inevitably fall on my daughter, if I followed her lead, she would have ended up dead too." He shared his state of mind at the time.

He added, "As I was crossing the Seohae Bridge, there was a massive snowstorm. Then I heard someone behind me calling 'Dad.' I thought I must have imagined it, but then they called out louder. When I turned around, no one was there."

He continued, "At that moment, I thought, 'Yoon-jeong is alone.' That's when I snapped back to reality." He expressed his deep affection for his daughter by saying, "Because we went through so much hardship, this is how we achieved success."
