Jo Jung Suk Talks About His Wife + How He Feels About Becoming a Dad Soon
In a previous interview with Sports Chosun, "Hospital Playlist" star Jo Jung Suk talked about becoming a dad soon. The K-drama actor successfully finished the filming of the tvN series, which marked its highest viewership ratings, having a finale that peaked 14.1% viewership. Viewers now can't wait for the release of Season 2!
Jo Jung Suk gave life to the role of a lifetime with Ik Jun, Yuljae Hospital's most well-known physician. The actor first debuted as a musical actor but soon became a famous actor on the small screens. He made us cry for the role he portrayed on MBC's "The King 2 Hearts as Eun Si Kyung, and set our hearts aflutter with his performance in the rom-com, tvN's "Oh My Ghostess" with actress Park Bo Young.
Then, he displayed an inspiring romantic affair with actress Gong Hyo Jin in "Don't Dare to Dream," and he also went on to pursue success in his career through MBC's "Two Cops," SBS's "Nokdu Flower," and the movie "E.X.I.T."
The actor admitted that his wife, singer Gummy, really enjoyed his song, "In Front of City Hall at The Subway Station." Jo Jung Suk added that his wife monitors all his projects as an audience. However, this time, his spouse expressed that she was more intensely focused on every story than just his character on the show.
In the past, Gummy was paying more attention to the character Jo Jung Suk was portraying, but she is focused on the storyline this time and was watching as a regular viewer.
The actor said that he let his wife listen to "Aloha" before it is released to the public, and Gummy supported it, saying it will get lots of love because it suits the season.
With this, Jo Jung Suk revealed that his wife is a massive source of support.
In the interview, the actor also opened up on how he has changed after his marriage with Gummy. He revealed that he came to become fond of hiking. He says that it's quite fun to walk together and it's more delightful to walk with a person rather than just being by yourself.
The actor added that now, his life feels more stable and comfortable than before. Also, one more thing that changed him after he got married is that he now thinks more about his health condition.
Since Jo Jung Suk is a father in "Hospital Playlist," in real life, he is soon going to be a dad as well. With this, the soon-to-be dad shared that it was interesting for him that the first time he tried to portray a role as a father also occurred at the time that he's about to become a real dad, so this role was considered closer to his heart because of the "father" reason.
The character of Ik Jun's idea as a father was very similar to the actors' idea of an ideal dad, so he thinks that he was able to get a good influence while portraying Ik Jun's character for the drama.
The actor, therefore, concluded that if he becomes a father, he wants to become a father like Ik Jun, and since he's becoming a father soon, he wants to be a public figure that his child can be proud of in the future.
