‘Dongchimi’ Jang Na-ra‘s father Joo Ho-seong confessed that they are separated.

On the November 30th episode of MBN’s ‘Dongchimi’, Joo Ho-seong said, “I can‘t sleep in the dark. I sleep with the light on in the living room and the door open. But my wife has to sleep in the dark. Not only that, but whether she sleeps with the air conditioner on or off is also a serious problem,” and said, “I’m over 70 years old and have been living (alone) near my company for 3-4 years. It‘s so comfortable.”
He added, “My wife used to come once or twice a week to fill the fridge and clean, but as she got older, her body got heavier, so she came once a week, and now she’s coming once a month. But there are more comfortable aspects.”

He also said, “I feel free to lie down whenever I want and sleep with the lights on without being bothered by other people,” but added, “As I get older, I get worried inside. This is because some friends have died alone this year. When I hear news like that, they suddenly call me in the middle of the night. ‘Are you okay?’ I also call them when I have strange dreams. We think about each other a lot. There are things that make me sad, but it‘s comfortable.” He expressed satisfaction.
