In 'My Little Old Boy,' actor Yoo Ji-tae candidly shared about his 15-year marriage with Kim Hyo-jin, drawing attention as a 'model of a realistic couple.' Particularly impressive was his firm stance on economic rights and his philosophy of valuing 'fairness.'
On the broadcast of SBS's My Little Old Boy on the 25th, Yoo Ji-tae, who has a long-standing relationship with Kim Jun-ho, appeared as a guest.
On that day, Yoo Ji-tae engaged in a candid talk ranging from amusing revelations about Kim Jun-ho to his married life with Kim Hyo-jin. Yoo Ji-tae revealed about Kim Jun-ho's 'hygiene' during their separate living days, stating, 'It was so dirty that he got the nickname of 'dung fly,'' which caused a stir in the studio. He also mentioned, 'He didn't even brush his teeth, and it was quite smelly,' adding, 'So I surprised him with underwear,' which drew laughter.
However, when the discussion shifted to 'married life,' he was more serious than ever. Marking 15 years since marrying Kim Hyo-jin in 2011, Yoo Ji-tae surprised everyone by recalling, 'Today is the 6733rd day since we first met.' He noted that the wedding date is the same as the day they started dating, showcasing his 'ultimate romantic' side by memorizing even the specific date.
What caught attention most was his discussion on 'economic rights.' Yoo Ji-tae stated, 'I manage my own economic rights, and what my wife earns, she manages herself,' adding, 'I cover all living expenses and education costs.' He commented, 'He spends money so well that it makes me worry, but fortunately, Ji-min is a savings master,' noting that the separation of economic rights between couples can be a wise choice.
Additionally, he emphasized, 'Taking care of both sides equally is a fundamental rule,' stressing that 'fairness' in all aspects, including holidays, gifts, and household chores, is key to marriage. He added, 'The location of the home should be optimal between both families,' and said, 'Gifts like cars or cell phones should also be equal to avoid conflicts.'
Meanwhile, Kim Jun-ho jokingly remarked about his school days, 'Yoo Ji-tae was so serious that eventually all the girls fell for me,' but Yoo Ji-tae fired back, 'No, in the end, sincerity wins,' eliciting more laughter.
