TVXQ's U-Know Yunho Reveals Past Marriage Plans, Admits Being 'Terrible Man' in Relationships

Jung Yun-ho (정윤호), known as U-Know Yunho, a member of TVXQ (동방신기), recently made a rare appearance on SBS's variety show "Not Really, But It's True" (아니지만 맞다), where he candidly discussed his views on relationships. He revealed that at age 27, he informed his agency of his intention to marry. He also shared that he was rejected four times by the same woman, admitting he was a "terrible man" in the past, which surprised everyone on set.

During the show, host Tak Jae-hoon (탁재훈) was discussing dating with 27-year-old Jonathan when he suddenly turned to Yunho, asking, "You were dating when you were 27, right?" Yunho's response was unexpected: "When I was 27, I officially informed my agency that I was going to get married."

His statement left all the guests stunned, with exclamations like, "Really?" "What happened?" and "You planned to marry that early?" Yunho explained that since both his parents married at 27, he had always believed he should also achieve that life milestone at the same age, which led him to inform his agency.

He also revealed that Lee Soo-man (이수만), the founder of SM Entertainment, did not object to his decision at the time. Instead, Lee reportedly smiled and advised, "Marriage is good, but you can have children a bit later."

Now 48, Yunho admitted he remains open to marriage. "If the opportunity arises, I still want to get married. Seeing my nieces and nephews recently really makes me waver."

Tak Jae-hoon then pressed further into Yunho's dating history, asking, "You've been dumped by a girlfriend before, right?" Yunho answered without hesitation, "Yes, and I was dumped by the same woman four times."
