'Five Children' Comedian Jeong Ju-ri Returns to Broadcasting, Citing Husband's Support and Better Income

South Korean comedian Jeong Ju-ri made a recent appearance on the MBN talk show 'Sokpul-i Show Dongchimi' (속풀이쇼 동치미), explaining that her return to broadcasting after a considerable break was primarily motivated by financial considerations.

During the episode, which aired on the 27th and featured guests like Hyun Young and Yang So-young, Jeong Ju-ri shared insights into her current family situation. She revealed that her husband is managing their five children at home, a task made slightly easier by the fact that their youngest child has recently begun attending kindergarten.

“

Today, my husband is watching the kids. Our fifth child started kindergarten this year, so I have a bit more leeway.

This newfound flexibility has allowed Jeong Ju-ri to re-engage with her career. She candidly admitted that her own earnings are currently surpassing her husband's income, suggesting a shift in their household's financial dynamics. Her straightforward explanation resonated with viewers, highlighting the practical realities faced by many working parents.

Honestly, it's because of money. My income is better than my husband's.
