Jeong Seok-won met Baek Ji-young and started reading books, confessing that he had no interest in reading before.
On the 6th, a video titled 'What is the best restaurant in Eunma Shopping Mall that Baek Ji-young and Jeong Seok-won visited together for the first time in 13 years of marriage?' was uploaded on the 'Baek Ji-young Baek Z Young' channel.
Baek Ji-young noted that she was a literary girl in her school days, saying, "I read a lot of comic books and liked novels. Right now, I am reading two books, 'Dual Brain' and 'First Summer, Wanju.' The 'Dual Brain' is difficult; I can't understand it even after reading it. It's a book about AI, and it's too hard. Instead, 'First Summer, Wanju' was published by actor Park Jeong-min, and there are many good books published there."
At that time, her husband Jeong Seok-won came out with more than 10 books, introducing them as his recommended reads. He said, "Honestly, I barely read books. I first read one when I was 30." To this, Baek Ji-young shook her head, saying, "Actually, my husband hasn't read even one book from start to finish."
Jeong Seok-won said, "You won't believe it, but I didn't read books before. When I was dating my wife, she told me she wished I had some intellectual charm. So I asked her, 'What does 'intellectual charm' mean?' I didn't know that word. She was so shocked, and I didn't know the meaning at all. When I was in school, I only carried around Bruce Lee's books and nunchucks."
Baek Ji-young remarked, "But the best thing about my husband is that he doesn't pretend to know what he doesn't. He genuinely admits when he doesn't know something, which makes conversations enjoyable. After that, he recommended really easy and touching books. However, after reading about half of it, he claimed to understand everything and stopped reading. Originally, the process of reading is more important than the conclusion. Someone who used to be like that got hooked on books, reading for 6 to 7 hours a day."
Jeong Seok-won said, "An actor needs to know how to analyze scripts, but I lacked that analytical ability. I didn't know if a character was angry just by looking at the script." Baek Ji-young added, "I couldn't grasp the other meanings within the lines, but while reading, I reached a turning point in my life (as an actor)."
