Youngnam Cho “Near Yoon Yeo-jung Academy… literally huh!”

“Today, all of our Sesibong friends can’t get out of it for a while, but Yoon Yeo-jung is now getting closer to the academy. It’s literally huh!”

Singer and painter Jo Young-nam (76) first made an honest remark about his ex-wife Yoon Yeo-jeong (74) being nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor.

He recalled the late 1960s through’Yesterday’, a memoir in the JoongAng Sunday series on the 20th, and said, “I used to call Yun Yeo-jeong as a nickname,’Just a minute,’ because it appeared on TV for a while and then quickly entered.” He added, “But now, the situation has changed a lot. The expression that it has changed is terribly insufficient,” he added.

‘Sesibong’ was the name of a music appreciation room opened in Mugyo-dong, Seoul in the 1960s, and caused a folk craze in the Korean music industry. Youngnam Cho explained, “There was Yoon Yeo-jeong, who was a freshman at Hanyang University. Soon after, Yeo-jeong Yoon was actually the female representative of the music appreciation room at Se Si-bong.”

Youngnam Jo and Yeojung Yoon were married in 1974 and had two sons. After living in the United States for 13 years, they returned to Korea and divorced.

Youngnam Cho, famous as a’Hwatoo Artist’ in the art world, was caught up in a controversy about’Mature Works’ five years ago. Contrary to the fact that he was known to draw 100% of his own proprietary paintings of Hwatu, he was at the center of the debate over’art or fraud’ as it was known that he had an assistant to paint a large part of it. Eventually, it was recognized as a practice in the art world by the Supreme Court last year, and was finally confirmed innocent.

Youngnam Cho said, “While Yun Yeo-jeong is still on his way to the academy without stopping today, he went to Gangnam-gu Office at 12:35 in 2021, where he is writing this article, and after completing a corona test that pricks his nostrils, he returned after being judged as a self-quarantine.” He said, “I don’t even deserve to be able to do anything about Yoon right now,” he said.

Prior to the memoir serialization, he said, “After dying in the case of a masterpiece of paintings for the past five years, I barely survived, and there are rumors that Youngnam Cho writes not only paintings, but also writings. “Can you do it?”

Yoon Yeo-jung, who recently returned to Korea after filming Pachinko in Canada, is also currently in self-quarantine. Yoon Yeo-jeong was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for the movie’Minari’ on the 15th, and was thrilled that it was “something I never thought of in my dreams” through an interview with the Associated Press the next day. He said, “In-ah Lee responded more emotionally than me (to the news of the nomination), and I felt stupid too,” he said. “So I was just hugging this PD in the living room. I drink alone because she can’t drink at all, so I can’t drink at all,” he said. I have to drink it,” he said. The Academy Awards ceremony will be held on April 25 (local time) in Los Angeles, USA.
