Jo Young Nam, a famous singer and ex-husband to Youn Yuh Jung, has been making headlines for his consistent mention of his former wife in his interviews. On April 26, his interview with News1 went public and during his interview, he mentioned his ex-wife once again.
I received a call from my friend and that’s when I heard about her victory. I was happy for her and celebrated like it was my victory. It’s a huge accomplishment that deserves to be celebrated.

Jo Young Nam continued with his interview by touching on the negative response he received from his prior interview.
Everyone thinks that it’s bad that I’m mentioning her name and it’s been received negatively so I’ve been careful. I just wanted to relay my congratulations to her.

The singer then shared that her Oscar’s win is the best type of revenge towards all cheating men.
This victory is the best type of knock out for all cheating men, the best type of revenge.
