[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Bong-ju] Singer Jo Young-nam mentioned his two sons and said about himself, "I don't think of myself as a father."

On the 26th, in the YouTube video 'Entertainment President Lee Jin-ho,' Lee Jin-ho and Jo Young-nam had a Q&A session regarding actress Youn Yuh-jung's Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress and related topics.

In the video, Jo Young-nam said, "I watched it all. Through Bong Joon-ho and Youn Yuh-jung, we have now culturally completely surpassed Japan and China and become a leading country, which makes me the happiest," adding, "I can't help but congratulate them greatly, but it's bittersweet that I can't openly celebrate."

When asked if there was any impressive part of the awards ceremony, Jo Young-nam replied, "It wasn't that I found it impressive, but I am just thankful. I'm thankful that they raised the kids well, and that's that."

When asked, "Have you contacted your children regarding the Oscar win?" Jo Young-nam answered, "Not at all. They don't think of me as their father. I've lived accepting that," and added, "I haven't contacted them at all. I have lost my qualification."

He then added that he had paid their tuition fees a few times in the past.

Jo Young-nam also said, "Because I was unfaithful and couldn't fulfill my role as a man, that friend struggled hard and succeeded."

Regarding frequently mentioning his recent divorce from Youn Yuh-jung, Jo Young-nam drew a line by saying, "I don't regret it."
