Jo Yoon-hee Discusses Her Parents’ Divorce and the Pain of Marrying Without Love

Insights from Jo Yoon-hee on Family Dynamics in Recent TV Appearance

In a heartfelt episode of TV Chosun’s Now Alone, aired on November 5th, actress Jo Yoon-hee distinctly shared her personal experiences regarding family matters during a meaningful conversation with her older sister.

The Decision to Live Independently

Jo Yoon-hee elaborated on her choice to move out ahead of her sister, revealing, “I never aspired to independence; I always wanted to stay with our parents. However, our family environment was strained. I realized that remaining together was unsustainable and could lead to even more conflicts. So, when the chance arose, I took the step to establish my own space.”

Reflections on Family Separation

After living independently for nearly ten months, Jo Yoon-hee experienced additional changes at the age of 31 when her parents divorced. This led her to reside with her mother again shortly after having lived alone.

Understanding Maternal Struggles

In her candid reflections, Jo mentioned, “My mother never kept any clippings of my work or even purchased magazines featuring me. There were reasons behind her actions. Their marriage was not founded on love but orchestrated by my grandmother, who believed my father to be a diligent man. Throughout their marriage, my mother battled depression, likely beginning from the moment they wed.”

Empathy Through Experience

Jo Yoon-hee expressed deep empathy for her mother, saying, “Now I comprehend the pain of marrying someone without love, which allows me to relate to my mother’s feelings. At least I sought love in my own marriage and have the joy of a child I cherish deeply. My mother was never in that position, prompting me to cultivate greater understanding for her circumstances.”

The emotional dialogue highlighted Jo Yoon-hee’s journey towards self-discovery and understanding, as well as the complexities of familial relationships.
