On the 14th, Jung Sung-il’s agency, XYZ Studio, announced, “After a long period of careful consideration together with his spouse, they have decided to end their marriage.” They further emphasized, “This decision was made through mutual agreement, not due to any fault on either side.” They added, “Although their legal relationship has ended, they continue to support each other’s individual paths and are doing their best with sincerity in raising their child together.”
However, following the news of Jung Sung-il’s divorce, past remarks he made about his wife on You Quiz on the Block have resurfaced and are drawing attention once again.
Jung Sung Il talked about his love story with his wife. They have been married for about 7 years. He confessed that he met “a friend of a friend” in his early 20s after being discharged from the military.
Jung Sung Il said that when his wife left for the US to study, he asked her to date him despite their distance. They contacted each other by exchanging letters. They were apart for three years.
In response, Yoo Jae Suk said, “Aren’t you guys cyber lovers?” and couldn’t hide his surprise at how Jung Sung was in touch with his girlfriend by phone and email for three years.
Jung Sung Il said that after three years of non-face-to-face relationship, the two continued dating for another three years after meeting in person. After seven or eight years of breaking up, they reconnected.
“After I was discharged from the military, I met her in my early twenties through a friend of a friend. I started writing letters to her while she was studying abroad, and we stayed in contact. Eventually, we began dating while apart. When she was in the U.S., she even exchanged letters with my mother. After we had broken up, she still took care of my sick mother and took her to the hospital. Later, we got back together and got married.”
Jung Sung Il’s wife took his mother to the hospital without Jung Sung Il knowing when she came to Seoul for surgery. Jung Sung Il later learned of this and married his wife, whom he met again in the hospital, after 3 months.
Yoo Jae Suk, Jo Se Ho, and netizens were all surprised at Jung Sung Il’s fateful love story that took nearly 14 years until marriage.
Jung Sung Il is an actor whose face was not widely known to the public, but after the release of Netflix’s “The Glory”, he rose to the ranks of popular actors.
