[Dispatch=Reporter Park Hye-jin] As controversy over actor Jeong Jun-won's attitude grew, his co-star Gong Hyo-jin stepped forward.

Jeong Jun-won appeared on MBC-TV's 'What Do You Do When You Play?' in the 'Short-form Drama—Jjigeo-yu' episode on the 1st. He attended alongside Gong Hyo-jin to promote the new Friday-Saturday drama 'Married Woman Killer' (written by Kim Eun-hee, directed by Yoon Jong-ho and Kim Jihoon).

It was essentially Jeong Jun-won's first variety show appearance. Due to nervousness, he remained stiff throughout the broadcast, saying "I'm sorry. I'm not focused, my head feels blank." Particularly in the acting segment, which is his main profession, he failed to deliver his lines.

Yoo Jae-seok and Gong Hyo-jin attempted to ease Jeong Jun-won's tension, but to no avail. He did not properly participate in the challenge, and other cast members took his place instead.

However, Ha-ha, who was on set, commented "It was so lovely, cute, and fun" and said "This is a difficult program even for professional variety show entertainers. Please see him cutely since he's not a professional variety entertainer."

Gong Hyo-jin also wrote on SNS on the 4th, "This husband really threw up after filming," adding "I couldn't help him. I'm sorry," showing support for him.

Meanwhile, 'Married Woman Killer' is a drama depicting a working mother with the most brutal job in the world protecting her work-life balance. It is based on a webtoon of the same name. Gong Hyo-jin plays killer Yoo Bo-na, and Jeong Jun-won plays journalist Kwon Tae-seong.
