Actress Yoon Yeo-Jung's sudden confession that her eldest son is gay draws messages of support from Korea

Actress Yoon Yeo-Jung has revealed that her eldest son is gay, and she has been receiving a flood of support.
According to sources, Yoon Yeo-Jung gave the interview to promote the release of the film "The Wedding Banquet."
"My personal life is very much intertwined with this film," Yoon Yeo-Jung said in an interview with People.
"Korea is a very conservative country. People never reveal that they are gay openly or in front of their parents. But my eldest son is gay, so I have been able to discuss the past with him," he said.
In an interview with the Hong Kong media South China Morning Post, she said, "My eldest son was born in the same year as me in 2000.
"When he came out as a gay man and New York legalized same-sex marriage, I attended his wedding there," she said. "It was still a secret in Korea, so the whole family was in the dark.
She continued, "I love my son-in-law more than I love my son-in-law now. I may get some reaction when I go back to Korea. I hope Korea will accept me."
In this way, Yoon Yeo Jung's candid confession that he was able to share his real-life experiences in the film because his eldest son is gay has been met with support that it is a wonderful confession.
Meanwhile, the movie "Wedding Reception" is a remake of the same-titled film by Taiwanese former member director Ang Lee, in which the protagonist, a homosexual, is pressured by his family to get married.
The film depicts the affair that unfolds when two men decide to enter into a fake marriage at a bar. Korean-American director Andrew Ahn has remade the story into one about a Korean-American family.
