Defector doctor Jo Soo-a recalled the memory of declaring her engagement ended right before her wedding.
In the MBN entertainment show 'Sokpuri Show Dongchimi' aired on the 14th, the topic was 'Couples Who Crossed the Line.'
Choi Deok-jong said he took Jo Soo-a to Daecheon Beach to marry her and headed straight to his in-laws' house. He said, “I gifted her 100 roses. I sweet-talked her and went to the beach, then headed straight to my in-laws' house.”
Jo Soo-a explained, “(Her father) said it was fine if our son didn’t marry, and to think of it as my uncle’s house and come down every holiday. My father-in-law, who was a Buddhist, converted to Christianity for me after six months. That's why we got married.”
She added, “Everyone opposed it because he drank and smoked. It complicated my feelings. I cried in the car the night before the wedding. Until 2 a.m., I kept saying, ‘I don’t think this is right.’ I sighed and thought, ‘The moment I get out, this car will fall into the Han River.’ After we broke up and I went home, I didn’t leave but stayed in the car. I went back down crying.”
Jo Soo-a said, “On that day, the Blue House sent refreshments and congratulatory money. Nearly 10,000 guests came,” referring to her wedding as “the wedding of the century.” Additionally, footage showed a wreath sent by former President Lee Myung-bak.
Choi Deok-jong said that Jo Soo-a experienced failure because she did not listen to his advice, and Jo Soo-a expressed her anger, saying, “The landlord said the medical facility got permission. Since the landlord appears on TV a lot and is doing well, they were lured in. They said if a famous doctor comes, even a suburban area will be revitalized. But the landlord did not receive permission. Isn’t it something my husband should handle?”
Jo Soo-a stated, “What was shocking was I am also an elite and educated person. Every time he spoke, he would say, ‘That's ridiculous.’ It’s not a dog. One day, my sister-in-law referred to me as ‘that person.’ She said, ‘Oppa, that person seems a bit strange.’ I thought, I should definitely confront her at least once. I asked, ‘Why do you keep calling me “that person”? Even my father calling me that feels unpleasant. If you live with my brother, you should call me sister. Please don’t call me that.’ I said, ‘I’m not someone to be treated casually.’ Everyone's atmosphere froze.”
She added, “It feels awkward when she calls me sister, so it doesn’t really happen. I still haven’t sorted out what to call my sister-in-law.”
