Broadcaster Yoon Jung-soo's announcement of his marriage was met with congratulations from Kim Suk, who punctuated their virtual marriage once again.
On the afternoon of the 16th, Kim Suk appeared as a guest on KBS Radio 'Yoon Jung-soo, Nam Chang-hee's Mister Radio (abbreviated as Mira),' which was aired live.
Earlier, DJ Yoon Jung-soo announced his marriage plans, sparking conversations. Yoon Jung-soo and Kim Suk once shared laughs as 'ex-husband' and 'ex-wife' on a virtual marriage program. Kim Suk publicly appeared on 'Mira' to congratulate Yoon Jung-soo's marriage and to bid farewell to their broadcasting relationship. In response, Yoon Jung-soo expressed gratitude, noting, 'Kim Suk hardly ever grants radio appearances but graced us with her presence.' Kim Suk stated, 'I stood here with a very mixed feeling. I will make a bombshell statement,' arousing expectations.
After the marriage announcement, Kim Suk commented on her feelings, saying, 'He didn't tell me directly. He mentioned it to a third party so that it would reach my ears. That person called me indirectly, asking why it was done that way. Why didn't he tell me directly?' Yoon Jung-soo replied, 'I also have a sense of face to maintain. I felt sorry for the virtual time we spent together, and I wanted to borrow even a bit of Kim Suk's popularity that is on the rise, so I spoke indirectly.'
Kim Suk added, 'So, I called Yoon Jung-soo directly and congratulated him. But I asked if it wasn't a self-made act,' bursting into laughter. Yoon Jung-soo remarked, 'That was the first time I heard such a question in my life. Someone asked, 'Does that woman know he's getting married?' and laughed. Kim Suk emphasized, 'I told him to be honest. I asked if he was a fictional character. He said he was a real person and truly congratulated him.'
Yoon Jung-soo remarked, 'Kim Suk was the first person to call and congratulate me. My fiancée was right next to me. She listened closely to what Kim Suk said and remarked on how wonderful she was. I told her to evaluate a person properly rather than just focus on one aspect, but it's strangely the case that both men and women like Kim Suk. I wonder what the secret is that attracts them even after 10 years,' he said in amazement.
He lamented, 'After two years of virtual marriage on the show, Kim Suk soared to success and won the KBS Entertainment Award six years later. I ended up having no programs on that day. Such different paths.' They agreed to marry if both are single in 2030. Kim Suk joked, 'There are still five years left; I could still go on a bit longer, so why such a rush?' To which Yoon Jung-soo replied, 'No, I cannot let this person go.'
Yoon Jung-soo noted, 'The next congratulations call was from Kim Gura. He commented that the impression was good and praised it. It's funny because I've never met him.' Kim Suk asked, 'Why announce the marriage on someone else's program? It turned that show from a sea of laughter to a sea of tears.'
Yoon Jung-soo remarked, ''Going to 'Midnight Horror Tales' wouldn't quite work,' he chuckled, while Kim Suk explained, 'I pondered alone. I had to decide where to announce it on my program. 'Shindang's Ghost' was ambiguous, while 'Dongsangmong' required marriage, and 'Talk Partner' wouldn't work. I couldn't announce it on 'Ommanchu' either.'
Kim Suk mentioned, 'Yoon Jung-soo is secretly envious of me. He still calls me at 11 p.m. asking how many programs I'm doing these days.' Yoon Jung-soo said, 'Sometimes, when I feel too lazy while watching a movie at home, I call Kim Suk. That somehow motivates me to get up an hour earlier. I do that about once a year,' he added with a laugh.
Yoon Jung-soo, who announced he would marry this year, suggested to Kim Suk that she give a wedding speech. Kim Suk recalled, 'When I told him I was getting married and asked for the date, he replied, 'When is your day off?' He even asked if I had a weekend off.' Yoon Jung-soo responded, 'Since I don't do many broadcasts, I thought of it like a worker taking the weekends off and looked for venues on Sundays. But then I realized Kim Suk was filming two shows on Sundays. All of that was approved by the person she's dating,' he joked.
Kim Suk mentioned, 'I'm very close to Yoon Jung-soo; we've been friends since 'With You.' It's right to help each other when someone is in grief. There are still people out there who love 'With You,' and they encourage me by watching reruns. They seem to feel disappointed.'
Yoon Jung-soo, who said he would marry within the year, expressed his concerns, saying, 'I might expose my fiancée. Ultimately, people will find out.' Kim Suk added, 'No one around has seen her,' raising more curiosity.
The two of them even tore up the virtual marriage contract they created in 'With You.' Kim Suk stated, 'I feel relieved. I had forgotten easily eight years ago, but it's amazing to do this again. Yoon Jung-soo still has the real contract, even the stamped part.' Yoon Jung-soo humorously replied, 'I tore it up while eating with a girlfriend.'
Talking about compensation for the contract breach was absurd. Yoon Jung-soo remarked, 'It costs a lot. Even if I were okay with it, I should make the person who believes in me happy.'
Still, Kim Suk humorously remarked about the reactions of those who cheer for her and Yoon Jung-soo: 'When Gu Bon-seung did well on 'Ommanchu,' they asked what was going to happen with Yoon Jung-soo. Heo Gyeong-hwan even visited 'Bibo TV' and asked why Jung-soo was still around.'
Yoon Jung-soo noted, 'I can talk about such things with Kim Suk, but when I meet someone, I can't say such things in front of her. Although I was having dinner with my girlfriend, some people still said, 'I have so much fun with Kim Suk.' I think my girlfriend seems a bit upset. I might bring them together for a three-person meeting,' hinting at a possibility of revealing.
Kim Suk, who celebrates her 30th debut anniversary, revealed, 'Everyone just needs to endure a little, but they're treating that as an impressive feat, which is burdensome.'
Finally, Kim Suk stated, 'Jung-soo is someone who is actually very lonely. It seems that his fiancée has made a significant decision. She seems like a really nice person. Jung-soo has gotten through a lot of things with a bright attitude. I hope she takes good care of this laughter. Yoon Jung-soo, do everything you want.'
Yoon Jung-soo said, 'I could be the husband of a woman, but if Kim Suk faces difficult times, I will definitely help her,' adding humorously, 'Why is it like this? Who do you think you are?'
