In ‘Single for Men’, Jung Ga-eun mentioned that her perspective on the opposite sex changed after her divorce from her ex-husband.

On the SBS ‘Shoes Off, Single for Men’ that aired on the 14th, the godmothers of the talk show world, Jo Hye-ryun X Kim Ji-sun X Kim Hyo-jin X Jung Ga-eun appeared and had a spicy talk. They are currently acting together in the play ‘I Love You, Mom’.

On that day, Tak Jae-hoon asked Jung Ga-eun, who has been divorced for 8 years, “I heard you shouted ‘There is no man in my life’ after your divorce?” Here, Jung Ga-eun honestly said, “At first, I thought men were so ugly, but after a few years of divorce, I started to envy couples around me who were doing well, and I felt lonely and wanted to date and, if a good relationship was found, get married.”

“I heard you thought about remarrying for your daughter...” Tak Jae-hoon asked, and Jung Ga-eun said, “Occasionally, I say, ‘I wish I had a dad like this.’” Also, I went to a restaurant with my daughter on a date the year before Christmas, and when I looked around without thinking, everyone was a family with a mother, father, and child,” she said.

She said, “Of course, I liked my daughter and I very much, but when I saw them, tears just poured down my face. On the way home, my daughter must have sensed me crying because she asked me from behind, ‘What are you doing, Mom?’ She kept taking care of me. When she was seven, my daughter asked me, ‘What do you want to do most, Mom?’ and I said, ‘Mom, I want to go on a trip with you,’ and she said, ‘I want Mom to be happy.’ So I thought I shouldn’t be sad about something like this. I thought that if there was a good person, I could (remarry),” and her eyes turned red as she thought about her daughter.

When Tak Jae-hoon asked, “I heard that your ideal type completely changed after your divorce?” Jung Ga-eun said, “In the past, I valued feel. When I got hooked on something, I met him. But after experiencing it myself, I don‘t need any of that anymore...“ and cut her words short.

Tak Jae-hoon then said, ”So you don’t need looks anymore and only look at credit scores?“ and made everyone laugh. Jo Hye-ryun added, ”Then Lee Sang-min won‘t do,“ and made everyone laugh again, ending the relationship cheerfully.

Meanwhile, Jung Ga-eun married a businessman of the same age in January 2016 and had a daughter, but they divorced after two years. Jung Ga-eun’s ex-husband had a criminal record for fraud, including double-selling of automobiles, and it was revealed that he embezzled over 13.2 billion won using a bank account in Jung Ga-eun‘s name and even took her official seal. After divorcing her husband, Jeong Ga-eun sued him for fraud in 2019.
