Actor Kim Ji-seok's father revealed that he was introduced to his son's girlfriend, actress Lee Joo-myung.
On the 18th, MBN's 'Sokpuri Show Dongchimi' released a video titled 'Actor Kim Ji-seok's explosive declaration of marrying a Black man?!'.
In the video, Kim Ji-seok's father said, "My first son got married at 30. He immediately had a granddaughter and a grandson, which is great for the family. But my second son (Kim Ji-seok) says that if he gets married early because he is an actor, he will lose fans. I understood that to some extent until he turned 35."
He continued, "As he approaches 38 and 40, it's going to be hard to have children and create age gaps with nieces and nephews. Then it will be difficult for cousins to get close to each other," adding, "So when my son comes home, I ask if he has a girlfriend these days. I promised him that if he brings a woman, I would coach her."
However, Kim Ji-seok gets stressed every time the topic of girlfriend and marriage comes up. Kim Ji-seok's father recalled, "Every time we talked about those topics, he would say if we were going to discuss that then he wouldn't come home. It happened several times. I told him that if he gets married, I would give him a significant congratulatory gift. I told him not to talk about such things. He said he was against marriage. Even as a joke, saying he is against marriage is just too much."
He then revealed, "I said that anyone he loves would be fine. Really? Can I bring a Black man? I was shocked. After that, I closed my heart to it."
However, Kim Ji-seok's attitude changed after he got a girlfriend. Kim Ji-seok's father said, "Then he said he got a girlfriend last year. I was wondering when he would bring her over, and then he introduced us."
He added, "On the day they met, they took a personality test. It turned out they were 12 years apart in zodiac signs. But due to the generational gap, communication was tough. I hope they get married soon since she came into his life, but since she is starting her career as an actress, I thought I should endure being the person who might hinder her future. I feel relieved that he has a girlfriend, but I'm concerned about when I will see grandchildren."
When he was introduced to his son's girlfriend, Kim Ji-seok's father said, "It was fascinating and reassuring. I wanted to treat her well."
Lee Hong-ryeol asked, "Did you feel that way even though you have experience sending your first son off to marriage?" Kim Ji-seok's father responded, "I have that experience, but I got married and immediately went to Hong Kong, so I couldn't take care of my daughter-in-law much. There are many regrets."
Last year, Kim Ji-seok received news of dating actress Lee Joo-myung. Kim Ji-seok was born in 1981 and Lee Joo-myung in 1993, making them 12 years apart.
As both are actors, they grew closer through acting and have continued their relationship without heavily considering the opinions of those around them. They actively support each other's acting careers. Having enjoyed dating without worrying about others' eyes, Kim Ji-seok and Lee Joo-myung coolly confirmed the dating rumors, saying, "That's right." By acknowledging their relationship at a rapid pace, they became an official couple in the entertainment industry.
