Actor Ryu Siwon attracted intense attention by revealing his wife and daughter on broadcast for the first time.
On the 19th, Ryu Siwon officially appeared with his wife on TV CHOSUN's Chosun's lovemaker and shared stories about their married life and family. Previously, his wife briefly appeared on screen at a scene from Yoon Jungsoo's wedding, drawing attention, and this broadcast was effectively the first official public reveal.
The reaction immediately after the broadcast was explosive. The released video surpassed 2.82 million views in two days, proving its high newsworthiness.
That day Ryu Siwon said, one month from now it will be their sixth wedding anniversary, and that their daughter recently passed her first birthday celebration, and the show revealed a photo of their daughter for the first time. He said the first-birthday grab was done by MC and his friend of 32 years Yoon Jungsoo, who even postponed his honeymoon to do it, attracting attention. He also recounted episodes from couple dinners and the first-birthday party, creating a warm atmosphere.
When his wife's appearance was revealed, the cast exclaimed that it was hard to believe she was the mother of a child over 1 year old, and that she was so slim and pretty without any swelling. When it became known that his wife is a math instructor, reactions followed that she had both looks and ability and that she was a "scam character." The wife said she was very nervous and excited because it was her first broadcast appearance.
Ryu Siwon did not hide his affection for his wife. He said meeting his wife made the idea of an ideal type meaningless, and that he used to like a feminine style but his wife gave a distinctly "womanly" feeling.
Their love story was also revealed. Ryu Siwon recalled their first meeting, saying he first saw her at a gathering of acquaintances and immediately thought, "Huh? Who is that?" He added that he rarely asked for someone's contact information in his life, and his wife playfully replied, "So you did. You need to speak properly," bringing laughter.
Ryu Siwon confessed that, to be frank, there really hadn't been such instances and that after some deliberation he asked for her contact information first. He said that outwardly they agreed to be comfortable like older brother and younger sister, but inwardly he had feelings, and that after eating separately they felt completely different, so he asked to meet first, which led to their relationship. He candidly discussed worries about the age gap, saying that at the time his wife was 25 and he was 44 and that he worried a lot because of the age difference.
On the broadcast, Ryu Siwon emphasized that a person became more important than an ideal type and showed deep affection for his wife and daughter. With the wife's first public appearance and the daughter's first reveal, the story of Ryu Siwon's family is gaining viewers' sympathy and support.
