[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kim Seul-gi] Actor Jung Joon-ho encouraged his wife, announcer Lee Ha-jung, to rejoin a company.

On the afternoon of the 2nd, on TV Chosun's entertainment program 'Taste of Wife,' Jung Joon-ho heard other cast members say, "Lee Ha-jung's recent activities are impressive. She dances and delivers sharp remarks."

In response, Jung Joon-ho confessed with a laugh, "My wife is a freelancer, so she feels a lot of pressure. Like most freelancers, she should be busy, but (since declaring freelance) she has been less busy recently."

Jung Joon-ho added, "I told her, 'Go back to the company, rejoin,' saying that (compared to freelance income) a salary is better."

Then Lee Ha-jung laughed and asked, "Whose side are you on?"

Announcer Lee Ha-jung joined MBC as an announcer in 2005, declared freelance status and resigned in 2011, and later that year served as an anchor for TV Chosun.
