Yoon Yeo-jeong said in an interview with a foreign press on the 17th that `My first son came out of being gay in 2000.'
When same-sex marriage was legalized in New York (2011), I held my son's wedding there. The whole family came to New York because it was still a secret in Korea``````I don't know how people will react."
Yoon Yo-jong then said, `Now I love my son-in-law more than my son-in-law,' adding, `Parents with gay children in Korea may have difficulties," he said.
This interview was conducted as a promotional interview for the Hollywood film 'Marriage Reception'. The film 'Marriage Reception' tells the story of a same-sex couple planning a fake marriage to solve a real problem.
Yoon Yeo-jeong said, `Korea is not open to these issues at all. It is a very conservative country. So this character has a very personal meaning to me. The line I say to my grandson in the movie is that I shared my personal experience with the director and wrote it together. "It's a word from my real life and I put it in the movie. I hope that helps" he said. In the film, Yun Yo-jong is known to say to his gay grandson " (whatever you are) you are my grandson".
'Marriage Wedding reception' is a remake of a 1993 film of the same name directed by Ian and directed by Andrew Ahn of Korean descent. Yoon Yeo-jung, Han Ki-chan, Lily Gladstone, Kelly Marie Tran and Joan Chen will appear. It will be released in the U.S. this month.
Meanwhile, Yoon Yo-jong married singer Cho Young-nam in 1974 but divorced in 1987. Yoon Yeo-jeong raised her two sons.
