Actress Hwang Jung-eum revealed that she received vocal training to improve her singing skills. On the 8th, Hwang Jung-eum posted a video titled ″The Day I Became a Woman with a Story While Singing″ on her YouTube channel.

In the video, Hwang Jung-eum said, ″I am on my way to the singing practice room. To receive vocal training. I am planning to debut again as a singer,″ explaining the reason for starting vocal training. She added, ″Actually, I have no lingering attachment to being a singer, but I really want to sing well.″

Hwang Jung-eum said, ″I became a solo artist, right? I want to go out and have fun with my older sisters, Wang-sik, Kang-sik, and their friends’ moms, but I have never really gone out to have fun in my life. When I see people who know how to have fun, I find it amazing and envy them. I have lived my whole life working. So I signed up for vocal lessons. But something serious happened, so I never got to go even once.″ When the production team asked, ″Are you taking vocal training just to have fun?″ Hwang Jung-eum replied, ″I really want to have fun. With people. I have no talent for that. I tend to stay still when I’m not in front of the camera. So since I don’t have work right now, I thought I should at least have fun. To soothe my tired heart from parenting. I’m going to let out all my resentment and everything.″

Hwang Jung-eum also shared her thoughts on trot singers. ″Actually, I thought about trying to be a trot singer. Since Jang Yoon-jung is so popular, it seemed really fun. Singing well feels so refreshing. Hitting those high notes. Actually, I also came with a big determination to master the high notes, but I couldn’t.″

Meanwhile, Hwang Jung-eum married a non-celebrity who is one year younger than her in 2016 and has two sons, but it was revealed that she was in the process of divorce litigation with her husband as of February 2024. The two completed the divorce procedure in May of last year and went their separate ways. Along with this, news of Hwang Jung-eum embezzling about 4.34 billion won surfaced, and she later repaid the entire embezzled amount. The court took this into consideration and sentenced Hwang Jung-eum to two years in prison with a four-year probation.
