Since it is still a sensitive issue in Korea, they said they held a quiet wedding ceremony among family members. He added, “I love my son-in-law more than my son now,” and continued the interview cheerfully.

Also, this son is estimated to have been born in the 1970s, and considering that he was mentioned as being 35 years old in an interview at the time, it is highly likely that he is currently in his mid to late 40s.

4. Has the face been revealed?

There has been no official release of Joel's photo or any information about his appearance.

As Yoon Yeo-jeong strictly protects her privacy, there are no related images.

However, since she has lived in the US for a long time and has been active in the fashion industry, you can imagine that she has a certain level of style, right?

5. Relationship with Jo Young-nam and Yoon Yeo-jeong’s choice

Youn Yuh-jung married singer Jo Young-nam in 1974 and had two sons, but divorced in 1987. After the divorce, she raised her two sons alone while pursuing an acting career, and became a world-class actress, winning the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress in 2021.

    00년에 동성결혼 허락해줬다니 윤여정님이 정말 쿨하시네요.
    그래도 그 이후로 계속 단란히 모자관계를 유지 잘 하고 계신 것 같아 좋아요.
