DJ DOC's Jung Jae-yong Reveals Reasons Behind Divorce One Year Later: 'Conflict and Depression'
It has been a year since DJ DOC member Jung Jae-yong divorced. Although he did not reveal the specific reasons for the divorce, he recently indirectly mentioned it, drawing attention.
Jung Jae-yong previously married his girlfriend in December 2018. His ex-wife, Lee Sun-ah, was a former member of the girl group Icia, and their 19-year age gap had been a hot topic at the time. The couple also has a beautiful daughter. Just five months after getting married, Jung Jae-yong expressed his deep love for his daughter.
However, their happiness did not last long. After about four years of marriage, they announced their divorce. In May last year, DJ DOC's agency confirmed, "It's true that Jung Jae-yong has divorced. As far as we know, the reason is due to differences in personality." It was revealed that Jung Jae-yong had already completed the necessary paperwork related to the divorce in March.
Many people expressed their regret at the shocking news. Although it was reported that his ex-wife would take custody of their daughter, the specific reasons for their divorce had not been disclosed, leaving many curious.
Recently, about a year later, Jung Jae-yong appeared on a YouTube channel and shared his recent struggles, saying, "I've had severe depression. It was like a panic disorder." He also indirectly mentioned his married life with his ex-wife. When a fortune-teller asked if he had conflicts with his wife due to overly relying on his mother, he admitted, "That's true. I was so surprised. Was it that easy to read? It feels like I'm undressing and talking." Although indirectly, this was the first time he revealed the reasons for his divorce.
With the support of many people, Jung Jae-yong said, "I'm trying hard. It's embarrassing to say that I'm cheering myself up, but I'm making an effort." He added, "I actually thought my mind or heart was broken, so I considered going to the hospital. I was planning to get counseling and medication." Although he initially disliked taking medication, he now wants to "try to overcome it" and has shown a strong will to move forward in life, garnering support from many people.
Meanwhile, Jung Jae-yong debuted in 1995 with DJ DOC's second album "Murphy's Law." Since then, he has produced numerous hit songs, such as "Summer Story," "Dance with DOC," and "Run to You," that have captivated the entire nation.
