Apology Text Received After Criticizing 'There is No Sub'

On the 24th, Jang Yoon-jung began her post on social media by saying, 'I would like to thank everyone who empathized with my post and comforted my upset heart.' She stated, 'I just received a text from an unknown number, and they contacted me after finding my number to convey their apology.'

Furthermore, she showed her maturity by saying, 'I won't say much. I hope happiness and good fortune will be with you in the future.'

The Start of the Controversy, 'Do Kyung-wan Sub' Comment

This controversy began during the KBS2 variety show 'Boss's Ears are Donkey Ears'. On that day, announcer Eom Ji-in looked for a marriage information company for her juniors, and in the process, she picked Do Kyung-wan as the 'junior who got married the best'. Eom Ji-in praised him, saying, 'While his wife Jang Yoon-jung is on a national tour, he is diligently supporting her and doing more broadcasts after marriage.'

However, upon hearing this, announcer Kim Jin-woong stated, 'I can't live like senior Do Kyung-wan. It may be disrespectful to the senior, but I can't live as someone's sub,' placing himself at the center of the controversy. After this remark aired, viewers criticized the division of the couple's relationship into 'main' and 'sub' as rude.

In response, Jang Yoon-jung also expressed her discomfort, stating, 'We don't have a close relationship. Words or actions that make the other person unable to laugh cannot be packaged as 'jokes' or 'play'. There is no 'sub' in a family.'

Sincere Apology and Conclusion of the Controversy

Ultimately, announcer Kim Jin-woong officially apologized through his social media, saying, 'I apologize for causing concern to senior Do Kyung-wan and Jang Yoon-jung with my careless remarks.' He admitted, 'I was not careful because my enthusiasm got ahead of me. I ended up saying something I shouldn't have,' and he bowed his head, saying, 'I deeply felt how much pain a thoughtless remark can cause.' With Jang Yoon-jung accepting his apology, the controversy seems to be coming to an end.

Meanwhile, Jang Yoon-jung and Do Kyung-wan got married in 2013 and have one son and one daughter, and they continue to be active in their respective fields, including co-hosting ENA's 'My Kid's Life'.
