Jang Yoon-jeong recalls how husband Do Kyung-wan stood out from suitors

During a broadcast of 'Stars' Top Recipe at Fun-Staurant' on the 22nd, singer Jang Yoon-jeong revealed that her husband, Do Kyung-wan, was the only man to remain sober during drinking sessions intended to woo her.

Singer Jang Yoon-jeong has revealed an anecdote from before her marriage to Do Kyung-wan, during which she received numerous advances from men at drinking gatherings. While these men believed they could get closer to her by drinking together, they would end up collapsing one by one due to intoxication; the only man who remained perfectly sober until the end was Do Kyung-wan. The couple's pre-marriage love story brought laughter as Jang's exceptional drinking capacity and Do's playful expressions of affection were revealed.

In the 342nd episode of KBS 2TV's 'Stars' Top Recipe at Fun-Staurant' broadcast on the 22nd, the couple Jang Yoon-jeong and Do Kyung-wan were shown enjoying a cozy time together over a spread of drinks. Do Kyung-wan prepared the drinks for his wife, and the two demonstrated their continued chemistry as a couple by discussing stories from before their marriage in a relaxed atmosphere. The conversation, which began with simple drinks, moved from Jang's past popularity to unexpected romantic tales.

“It is not something I should say in front of my husband, but there was a time before marriage when I was ranked first or second as the 'national daughter-in-law',” Jang Yoon-jeong recalled. She explained that she enjoyed great public popularity at the time and received interest from many men. “How many advances could there have been back then? When those men looked into my information, they found out that 'Jang Yoon-jeong likes drinking.' So, they thought they could get closer if they drank with me, and men who were interested in me proposed drinking sessions,” she revealed.

The problem arose once the drinking sessions began. “We would start drinking like that, but there hasn't been a single man I've met more than twice. They all end up crawling...” Jang said, causing laughter on set. Although they confidently proposed drinking sessions to win her favor, they were unable to handle Jang's drinking capacity, preventing any subsequent meetings. For her, despite the many advances, drinking sessions served as a testing ground that revealed not just a man's charm, but also his drinking capacity and physical stamina.

Jang Yoon-jeong even revealed her own method for sending intoxicated men home. “When I see a drinking session, I know immediately. If I think, 'Oh, his eyes are wandering,' I ask for his address around that time,” she explained. She added that she would write the address on a sticky note, catch a taxi, and then attach the note to the man's forehead like a talisman for a Jiangshi before telling the driver the destination. Situations occurred where men who came out to express interest ended up being sent home with Jang's help. Do Kyung-wan could not hide his laughter at her honest and blunt revelations.

Amidst the many men who failed due to their drinking capacity, there was one person who captured Jang Yoon-jeong's heart: her current husband, Do Kyung-wan. Jang praised her husband, saying, “He was the only man who was perfectly fine after drinking with me.” She noted that Do Kyung-wan's ability to remain composed even after drinking together made him stand out in her memory. While their love was not completed solely because he could drink well, Do was clearly a distinct figure in Jang's memory compared to other men.

After confirming his proud past, Do Kyung-wan playfully responded as if he had been waiting. Showing subtle pride, he said, “I am the only one,” and added, “That's why you are truly a strong drinker. I only get drunk on you.” It was a witty way to turn a conversation about drinking capacity into a confession of affection. Jang Yoon-jeong also laughed brightly at her husband's sly words, continuing the comfortable atmosphere between the couple.

Do Kyung-wan did not hide his affection for his wife. When Jang said, “He seems to like broadcasting with me. He likes it like a child on a picnic,” Do replied, “It is good because I can broadcast when my wife is there. Many cameras are filming me. I want to appear again, Kyung-wan.” He playfully expressed his joy in being able to work alongside his wife and his enjoyment of appearing on broadcasts. Jang responded by acknowledging his charm, saying, “You are quite the flirt.”

Married in 2013, Jang Yoon-jeong and Do Kyung-wan have a son, Yeon-woo, and a daughter, Ha-young. Since their marriage, they have been loved for consistently showing both their affection for each other and their realistic life as a married couple on television. This time, Jang's extraordinary drinking capacity and Do's witty remarks shed new light on their pre-marriage love story. The image of the man who remained in her memory among many suitors, and the husband who still skillfully expresses affection to his wife, demonstrated the unchanging chemistry of the couple.
