Actor Kim Ji-ho, who appeared on "My Little Old Boy," noted that the image of the perfect couple was an illusion, drawing attention with an honest confession about their newlywed struggles with her husband Kim Ho-jin and their real married life.
On the 11th, Korea's SBS entertainment program "My Little Old Boy" featured Kim Ji-ho as a guest, a representative couple of the entertainment industry.
That day, Kim Ji-ho reflected on being a couple for 25 years with Kim Ho-jin, stating, "It's not always easy to stay in harmony. It's totally ridiculous," directly refuting the "perfect couple" image. She recalled, "In the early days of our marriage, we fought every day, like fighting over a chicken," adding, "Our temperaments were so different, and it was hard to adjust." She continued, "I'm the type to forget everything, but my husband got angrier about that," mentioning the differences in their feelings.
Especially when they had to shoot commercials or broadcasts together, it was even more painful. Kim Ji-ho added, "Since we were together 24 hours, even when we fought, we had to throw love hearts in front of the camera," reflecting the reality of her struggles at the time. The cast couldn't hold back their laughter at her remark, "It was so hard."
Kim Ji-ho then dropped a three-part bombshell on Kim Ho-jin, saying, "My husband is a sulker, a cheapskate, and shabby," going into detailed name-calling. She added, "The reason he sulks is that his standards are different," and made a shy expression as if to consider how Kim Ho-jin would react when watching the broadcast, eliciting laughter.
Further specifics were shared regarding his cheapskate tendencies. Kim Ji-ho said, "My husband even goes to pick up food himself to save delivery fees," adding, "He doesn't use delivery apps and there aren't many times we eat out." She also revealed, "Our daughter has been influenced to only look for places with free delivery," and everyone was surprised by the resourcefulness of the cheapskate Kim Ho-jin.
Kim Ji-ho's real talk about their married life, hidden behind the label of the perfect couple, resonated with viewers, providing deep emotional insights and laughter from the lived experiences of a 25-year marriage.
