On 'Donmakase' actor Shim Hyung-tak revealed his love story with his Japanese wife.
On the 6th, the MBN variety Chuseok special 'Donmakase' aired its first episode, and MC Hong Seok-cheon, chef Lee Won-il, and Shim Hyung-tak appeared as guests.
That day Hong Seok-cheon said, "I heard Hyung-tak had happy news. He became a dad. He said he's happy every single day and made a big fuss," and actor Shim Hyung-tak was introduced, and he received congratulatory remarks for having a son in January.
Shim Hyung-tak registered his marriage in 2022 to Saya, a Japanese woman 18 years his junior, and held wedding ceremonies in Korea and Japan in 2023, respectively.
Meanwhile, Shim Hyung-tak also spoke about his first meeting with his Japanese wife Saya. When Hong Seok-cheon asked, "How did you meet your wife?", Shim Hyung-tak recalled, "I went to film at the Doraemon Museum, and the next day I first met my wife at the Gundam café," remembering how their relationship began. He said, "At first my wife simply thought I was a celebrity who had come to film and treated me strictly as a guide. Later I went back and forth to Japan often to convey my feelings, but I failed in confessing twice," sharing the love story.
He said, "Still, I didn't give up. I carried on with an unrequited love for almost eight months," and "One day, feeling resigned, I visited without pressure, and the drinking went on to a third round. We were both very drunk and walked under the lights of Tokyo, and I eventually put her in a taxi to send her off, but I didn't want to do anything before getting permission. Seeing that, she said she trusted me," recounting the episode of his successful confession that drew attention.
Meanwhile, 'Donmakase' is an innovative talk show in which broadcaster Hong Seok-cheon and chef Lee Won-il serve a full pork course and draw out guests' hidden life stories.
