[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kim Seul-gi] Broadcaster Seo Jeong-hee (58) said she does not regret marrying Seo Se-won (64) at an early age.

On the 9th, Seo Jeong-hee appeared on KBS1's educational program 'Morning Yard' under the theme 'Six Years of Standing Alone, Newly Found Values in My Life.'

In the broadcast, when asked if she regrets marrying Seo Se-won at 19, Seo Jeong-hee answered, "On the contrary, I have no desire to go back to being young. I have the ambition to live the rest of my life more wonderfully from now on."

She added, "I have no resentment. I have a great gift, a son and a daughter. If I hadn't married, I wouldn't have had my son and daughter, so I don't hold any resentment," and said, "Because I have children, I think I have been compensated for 32 years of life."

Seo Jeong-hee said, "Everyone has memories. There are painful and scarred memories, and beautiful memories. Coming out of the shackles of divorce, I thought, 'This is the light,'" and revealed, "(The divorce from Seo Se-won) greatly helped me grow."

She continued, "After the divorce, I saw the light, and seeing the light, I discovered my identity," explaining, "In the past, I was someone's mother and wife, and Seo Jeong-hee did not exist. Now, everything revolves around me."

Seo Jeong-hee was born in 1962 and is 58 years old this year. She debuted at 19 after being street-cast and was actively working in the entertainment industry when she became pregnant with Seo Se-won's daughter and married at 22.

However, the two divorced in 2015 after 32 years of marriage. At that time, Seo Se-won was booked without detention on charges of assaulting Seo Jeong-hee and was sentenced to six months in prison with a two-year probation.
