In 'My Ugly Duckling,' actor Song Il-gook talked about his marriage to his judge wife.
On the broadcast of SBS entertainment show 'My Ugly Duckling' on the 9th, Song Il-gook mentioned his judge wife.
On this day, actors Lim Ho and Song Il-gook were depicted visiting actor Kim Seung-soo's home. The three have often played royal roles in dramas. Especially upon seeing the dragon-patterned robe, Song Il-gook said, 'I don't like dragons,' adding, 'My wife is also born in the Year of the Dragon, and the kids are too.'
However, while filming 'Jumong', Song Il-gook mentioned that he got married, stating, 'I was secretly meeting my wife back then.' In response, Kim Seung-soo noted, 'I knew all along; at some point, it became evident that Song Il-gook was dating,' recalling how he was constantly clinging to his phone on set, sporting a beard and a serious expression, yet his face looked like a baby. Song Il-gook remarked, 'I didn't think I was giving it away, but perhaps I was.' Kim Seung-soo complimented, 'It's incredible that you had no time to meet family day and night.'
Then Song Il-gook said, 'In fact, I was grateful to the writer,' explaining, 'Sometimes, the script came out too late, so it wasn't available until the day of filming, and occasionally, I got a day off.' Sharing the story of how he ended up going on a blind date on his day off, he said, 'The next day, the script wasn't ready again, so I had another day off and we met twice, leaving a good impression.' This drew surprise from everyone, with comments like, 'This is fate; you've captured both work and love.' Notably, he also revealed wedding photos that caught attention.
Setting the atmosphere, they appeared at home. Lim Ho and Song Il-gook, who simply answered with laughter, provoked roaring laughter. Song Il-gook exclaimed, 'It's so good,' laughing heartily, 'I have so much to say, but I must hold back.' He continued, 'My wife had to leave early for work, so I prepared meals for the triplets,' prompting everyone to laugh and say, 'Your wife is higher than a king.' When asked about their family status, Lim Ho responded, 'A happy servant,' to which Song Il-gook agreed, saying, 'Me laughing isn't really laughing.' Both then simultaneously said, 'We are so happy,' shedding tears while bursting into laughter.
Continuing, they asked if he had ever been scolded by his wife. Song Il-gook responded, 'Rather than being scolded, 99% of our arguments are about food; I often get caught sneaking snacks.' He continued, 'I have a big appetite, while my wife is more frugal in her eating style,' sharing a story of a day when Min-guk had ice cream, and his wife asked why he was eating the child's food. Everyone laughed, saying, 'Is that something a dad should do?' Additionally, when it was mentioned that Song Il-gook shares a mobile calendar with his wife, Kim Seung-soo remarked, 'That's what servants do,' eliciting more laughter.
Meanwhile, Song Il-gook married Judge Jeong Seung-yeon in 2008 and has three children: Daehan, Minguk, and Manse. Recently, he stirred interest by revealing on a variety show that he is temporarily living apart from his judge wife. It turned out to be due to his wife's local appointment. He indicated, 'My wife received her appointment to Suncheon not long ago,' explaining that the whole family had previously relocated based on her job, but it was the first time they had to be apart when he joined the musical 'Mamma Mia.' He noted that the triplets are currently living with him.
