In particular, Jung Kyung-ho referred to Choi Soo-young as one of the reasons for his acting career, confessing, "I want to look good in front of that person and want to let her know that I'm a good person and a good actor." He also mentioned that what makes him happiest outside of acting is Choi Soo-young's happiness, saying, "Since we have been together for a long time and see each other the most. Thanks to her patience, we could meet for a long time. I always make mistakes.

He added, "We could be more (as life partners) because we have been dreaming of being good actors together since long ago," showing a sense of camaraderie as colleagues walking the same path.
On the 12th, Jung Kyung-ho appeared on the YouTube channel 'Jjanhanhyeong Shindong-yeop' and shared stories about how his father, Jeong Eul-young, a director, opposed his acting career in the past, revealing that Choi Soo-young plays a crucial role in his "flickering" acting activities.
