Jo Se-ho Opens Up About Parenthood Plans on Netflix's 'The Driver'

On the latest episode of Netflix's variety show 'The Driver: Finding the Lost Handle,' comedian Jo Se-ho candidly discussed his thoughts on having children.

The episode, released on the 21st, featured a 'King of Talk' special where members subjected Jo Se-ho to intense questioning and pressure, playfully targeting his perceived lack of variety show prowess. Despite the challenging 'karma beam' he received from the start, Jo Se-ho skillfully navigated the interrogation.

When asked if his wife was his first love, Jo Se-ho responded with 'my last love,' expressing his deep affection. However, fellow cast member Hong Jin-kyung, who recently went through a divorce, questioned his certainty. Jo Se-ho firmly replied, 'I will protect her until the end,' prompting Hong Jin-kyung to wistfully remark, 'I wanted to protect someone too,' acknowledging her own past.

Regarding his wife, Jo Se-ho expressed a desire for her to share her inner thoughts more, stating, 'I want to fill in the gaps where I might be lacking.'

Later, addressing the topic of children, Jo Se-ho admitted, 'The time we spend together, just the two of us, is so happy right now.' He elaborated, 'I worry that this precious time might be taken away by a child. Also, knowing how demanding the role of a mother is, I question if I can truly commit as a devoted father. Perhaps I should only prepare when I feel fully capable of dedicating myself,' he shared, indicating a thoughtful approach to future parenthood.

Jo Se-ho, born in 1982, married his wife on October 21, 2023. Before his marriage, he often shared his candid views on dating and relationships on various entertainment programs. Since his marriage, he has consistently expressed his affection for his wife on broadcasts, receiving blessings from many.
