Byun Jung Soo and her mother appeared on May 18th's airing of 'Star Life Theater', where the former supermodel's mother revealed why she let her daughter marry at the young age of 21.

Her mother was asked, "Isn't that too young of an age to get her married?" She answered, "I got married early too," and continued, "Most parents don't want their daughters to get married early, but I liked her fiancé. There was a kind of elegance to him, and he seemed innocent."

Byun Jung Soo then asked her mother, "There must be a reason. I didn't have any thoughts of marriage." Her mother then came clean and said, "I'm not sure if I'm allowed to say this. I had to send three children to college, and I wanted to send you all, but I thought if you got married then your in-laws would send you to college."

Byun Jung Soo shed tears at her mother's confession, and when asked if she knew about her mother's reasoning, she replied, "I didn't know at all. I was young at the time."

The actress and entertainer continued, "I think I was too immature. I feel sorry [to my mother]."
