Singer-actor Jung Yun-ho shared a rare glimpse into his personal life during the Nov. 14 episode of SBS’ “My Grumpy Secretary.” As cast members Lee Seo Jin and Kim Kwang Kyu prepared VIP treatment for the show’s sixth “my star,” Yunho, the conversation took an unexpectedly personal turn.
The star revealed that he was involved in a scandal with another celebrity years ago, a relationship he says lasted quite a while, All Kpop News reported.
Because she told her agency she was going to marry Young
Yunho explained that during that time he was so serious about the relationship that he openly told both his teacher and his agency that he planned to get married in his twenties.
He said that he did not want misunderstandings within the company, especially since he sincerely liked someone at that moment. His frankness reportedly surprised everyone around him.
“In the past, I was involved in a scandal with a celebrity. My relationships have always lasted a long time. Honestly, I really wanted to get married soon. I told my teacher and the president of the company at the time: ‘I will get married in my twenties.’
According to Yunho, his teacher told him that the idea itself was fine, just that he would have to wait a while before having children. Looking back, Yunho admitted that his intentions were sincere, but in the end the relationship didn’t last.
Lee Seo Jin’s recovery
Lee Seo Jin chimed in with a realistic perspective, suggesting that Yunho’s CEO probably saw the same thing he saw: someone incredibly passionate about his work,
Lee reflected that individuals with that level of motivation rarely settle down early and often stay single longer. He also cited actor Kang Dong Won as another example of a highly devoted celebrity who has yet to marry.
A look back at the star’s younger years
Even though the relationship Yunho once hoped to protect didn’t work out, his story gave viewers a new look at the star’s past: a mix of sincerity, youthful conviction, and a deep desire to protect someone he genuinely cared about during a crucial period in his burgeoning career. His openness also highlighted how seriously he valued commitment even at a young age, shedding new light on a past romance that clearly left a lasting impression on him.
