Jang Yoon Jung talks about being a working mother

During JTBC's press conference for their upcoming variety program 'Going to the End', trot singer Jang Yoon Jung was asked about her baby son, Yeon Woo, who viewers got to know through 'Superman is Back'.

Jang Yoon Jung shared, "Yeon Woo is growing big and is entering into his fifth month." She added, "He still cries when I'm about to leave; whenever that happens, I leave with a pained heart."

She continued to express her thanks to those who have shown affection and care for her child, saying, "He is a child who can't help but grow big and well because so many people give him attention." She said, "I feel as if we are all raising him together. I feel that after meeting him, many people worry over him and raise him with me."

Jang Yoon Jung also shared that she had a new perspective of her work now as a mother, saying, "I [now] understand why mothers think of their work as pleasant." She elaborated, "I was worried about how I could put my child aside and leave, but once I got in the car, I understood what it meant to be happy to do work."

After experiencing a difficult year during which Jang Yoon Jung's own mother filed a lawsuit against her to gain access to her money, it sounds like the trot singer is ready to move on and rejoin the entertainment industry via JTBC's new show.

In other news, 'Going to the End' will be a new program where five celebrities and a 100-member audience will go through a singing competition together. While the audience selects the music, the celebrities are challenged to sing whatever the audience desires. If a celebrity can perform a song perfectly, he or she will win prizes such as vacation trips. The first episode will broadcast on October 31.
