Singer Jang Yoon-jeong drew attention by expressing her firm stance regarding the drinking-related perceptions involving her manager.
On the 27th, a vlog titled "Making pottery, getting an eyelash perm, and enjoying a glass of soju with octopus sashimi" was uploaded to the YouTube channel 'Dojang TV'.
In the video, Jang Yoon-jeong visited an octopus sashimi restaurant to enjoy a relaxed meal and typically accompanied it with a drink.
That day, Jang Yoon-jeong smiled and asked her manager, "Are you going to call a designated driver?" When the manager expressed reluctance, she jokingly replied, "Then I’ll give you 2 minutes, think it over." She continued with her signature playful banter.
Upon hearing this, the production team reacted, saying, "Isn’t it obvious? Who would make the manager drink and then call a designated driver?" Jang Yoon-jeong also actively agreed, stating, "What kind of world are we living in these days? You shouldn’t make your manager drink and wait."
She further added, "If you're going to drink, send your manager home and drink alone; they should figure out how to get home by themselves. Otherwise, you'll be reported to the Ministry of Employment and Labor," providing practical advice and drawing attention with her stance.
Jang Yoon-jeong is well known not only as a singer but also as a senior who takes care of her juniors and respects the field. Her remarks went beyond mere personal opinions, showcasing an awareness of the 'respect for labor culture' in the entertainment industry, leading viewers to respond with, "That was a firm statement."
