On the 9th, the TV Chosun entertainment program 'The Taste of Wife, Nowhere Else in the World' (The Taste of Wife) featured Jeong Dong-won and Nam Seung-min.

In the episode, Nam Seung-min visited Jeong Dong-won's hometown, Hadong.

Jeong Dong-won said, "This is a place I often came to with my grandfather. We spread out mats and played. We came here every weekend."

He continued, "When I come to a place filled with memories like this, I sometimes get choked up."

Nam Seung-min then asked, "Your grandfather passed away during the competition. Weren't you sad then?"

Jeong Dong-won replied, "Actually, I held back my tears at that time. I thought my grandfather wouldn't like it if I cried."

He added, "But I couldn't hold back during the funeral ceremony. So I cried. It was a tough few days."
