On the 21st, Uhm Jung-hwa appeared on the Shoesoff podcast to sincerely convey the burden and personal thoughts she felt within the framework of her age and marriage as a female entertainer.
On this day, Uhm Jung-hwa has so much to talk about when the story of 'age' comes out. I keep knowing my age by intention, not by intention. I've been getting older since I was over 27 years old and I'm still getting older now. "Even if I don't care anymore, I'm also like 'Can I try this now?I sometimes think that ' I hate this so much."
Then "When I was in my 30s, I really couldn't imagine that I could do this now. When I reach my 30s, I think that's why I didn't get married"As an actor, when he got married and had a baby, he had to play the role of a mother." When I got married, I felt like I had a limit to going on stage as a singer. When I was on stage, I never imagined getting married and having a baby on stage, even though I was an active singer. But isn't it possible these days. At the time, it was really too harsh about age, and when you're older, you're gone," he recalled.
"I don't want to think about my age, and I want to keep trying, but stereotypes and limitations keep tightening up."It makes me think about the frame of "age", but we are getting older. Age is bound to grow. Still, we have to continue to challenge, live, and express ourselves. I have to do what I like and achieve my dreams, but in that sense, it hurts me so much to suffer from my age. I'm not the only one who gets old. We are 100 years old now, and we still have a long way to go, but we keep doing that."

Uhm Jung-hwa said "When I was a child, my father passed away, and my mother raised one son and three daughters alone. So I didn't know how my mom and dad actually lived at home. I've never lived to see what kind of marriage my mom and dad are in, so I wasn't really confident about getting married. I was so scared that I could give you love properly, and that I could give you love like that."
He said "First of all, the biggest thing is that I wanted to continue taking this stage and continue to go as an actor. But when I got married, I had to stay true to my family, and if I had a baby, I had to take a few years off, so I thought I wouldn't be able to come back to the stageIt's not "I want to get married, but I have to endure it because of this." It's just that I didn't think about getting married at all. I just spent time in a relationship."
Asked if he regretted not being married, he said "To be honest, I think now is the right time for marriage. My heart is calm now without any storm. So, when I meet someone I love, I want to go with them like friends," he replied.
But I wasn't tied to marriage. Uhm Jung-hwa said "I just passed because I didn't intend to get married, but if I hear such a story from people around me now, it would be a burden on my mind, but I have to do what I feel like." I don't think I do it because I have to get married. I really like this person, and I think marriage is what you have to do because you want to get married. I don't think I should be kicked out," he stressed. Then "I don't regret not getting married, but (marriage) can be a goal in the future." But if it doesn't happen, not if it doesn't happen, he said, showing his unique cool charm.
