Jung Hyung-don Jokes About Past With Taeyeon: “My Kids Asked What Kind of Relationship I Have With That Aunt”
On the June 7 episode of tvN’s Amazing Saturday, a nostalgic and laughter-filled reunion between Jung Hyung-don and Taeyeon (SNSD) stole the spotlight. The pair, who were once a beloved virtual couple on We Got Married Season 2 in 2009, brought back fond memories with their trademark chemistry and sharp wit.
During the broadcast, Jung Hyung-don lightheartedly shared an anecdote about his children discovering his past with Taeyeon. “My kids have started searching online and were surprised to see Taeyeon’s name pop up with mine,” he said. “They asked me, ‘What’s your relationship with that aunt?’ What should I even tell them?” This prompted teasing from the panelists, who jokingly called Taeyeon his “ex-wife,” referencing their on-screen relationship.
Their We Got Married segment ended sooner than expected after it was revealed that Jung Hyung-don was already in a relationship at the time—he was dating scriptwriter Han Yoo-ra, whom he married later that same year. The couple went on to welcome twin daughters, and Jung Hyung-don has since maintained a low-key family life.
Still, the comedian jokingly entertained the idea of a musical reunion with Taeyeon. “I recently released a duet with Jung Seung-je, and I’d love to do one with Taeyeon too. It would be a way to bring closure for all the people who couldn’t make it to the wedding altar—like us.”
Taeyeon responded with her usual sass, saying, “He’s the one who messed it up, yet he’s the one with a lot to say,” earning laughs all around. Jung Hyung-don replied, “This is too much pressure. I saw it as just a virtual relationship, but if you take it seriously, I’m in trouble,” further adding to the show’s comedic tone.
Their light-hearted exchange rekindled memories for longtime fans who fondly recall their We Got Married days. Jung Hyung-don’s humorous suggestion of a duet served as a playful nod to their past, resonating with audiences who grew up watching their unique dynamic.
With Taeyeon’s quick wit and Jung Hyung-don’s classic comedic timing, the reunion was more than just entertaining—it was a delightful throwback to one of K-variety’s most memorable pairings.
