Hong Seok-cheon and Yoon Yeo-jeong are thrilled that they live well for me...a wonderful mother



Actor Yoon Yeo-jung recently revealed her son's coming out for the first time, and broadcaster Hong Seok-cheon was also thrilled.

In an interview with a media outlet on the 22nd, Hong Seok-cheon revealed his thoughts on Yoon Yeo-jeong's son coming out. Yoon Yo-jung made headlines on the 18th when she revealed that her eldest son was a gay man who came out in 2000 and held a wedding ceremony in New York, USA, in a foreign media interview of the movie 'Marriage Wedding Party'.

Hong Seok-cheon is also Korea's No. 1 LGBTQ entertainer who came out the same year. In response, Hong Seok-cheon " (Yoon Yeo-jeong) had a few occasions to meet because of the broadcast, but she didn't show anything to me at all. But they loved me a lot. He said, "It's nice to see you because you live a good life." He said, "I'm just grateful because the teacher said it." But the teacher must have thought that the identity of the teacher's son and my identity are the same."




Hong Seok-cheon "I think the teacher is a wonderful adult and a wonderful mother. My parents were very shocked and had a hard time when I came out. I think it's great to have a mother like Yoon Yeo-jeong. I also thought about how happy my son would be. I'm very lucky to have such a mother."

Hong Seok-cheon also said, "I was comforted through an interview with Yoon Yeo-jeong, who calmly revealed her family history," adding, "My lonely fight for 25 years feels a little comforted because the teacher openly told me about your son this time. I hope there will be a world where children (sexual minorities) can live happily in Korea"I hoped.

On the other hand, Professor Na Jong-ho of the Department of Psychiatry at Yale University, who appeared on tvN 'Uquiz on the Block' in Yun Yeo-jeong's confession, also cheered, saying, `As Yun Yeo-jeong said, Korean society is a very conservative society, and from the point of view of people living in the United States, it may seem like a big deal, but I respect you because I know that it can take a lot of courage for people living together in that society.'
