'The Return of SUPERMAN' KCM made his wife, Ye-won, who quietly stayed by his side when he was struggling, public for the first time.
On the 28th broadcast of KBS2TV entertainment show 'The Return of SUPERMAN' (hereinafter 'The Return of SUPERMAN'), KCM's wife Ye-won and their second daughter Seoyon were revealed for the first time. Wearing an apron from the morning and cooking breakfast, he warmly greeted the woman coming down the stairs, saying, "Why didn't you sleep more?"
The woman turned out to be KCM's wife, Ye-won. With long straight hair and a calm yet pure smiling eye expression, Ye-won met viewers looking lovely. At her incredible beauty, Kim Jongmin blurted out his inner thoughts, "Wow, KCM had a reason to hide her! How did he meet her?" Lalala could not contain her admiration, saying, "She is so beautiful." Kim Jongmin, showing a newlywed-like attitude, said, "Of course my wife is more beautiful," but he could not stop marveling at Ye-won's beauty.
Compared to Olivia Hussey and NewJeans' Min-ji, Ye-won, who appears to viewers, was an amazing wife who had stayed by KCM's side for 13 years. KCM recalled their first meeting, saying, "There is a nine-year age difference. She was a relative of a friend; I met her once and she was so beautiful. What should I say? I thought I could hardly dare to like her. She was so young."
But as if fate, Ye-won's mother, looking at KCM, said, "You should marry a man like that." The moment he heard that, KCM thought it might be a sign.
KCM had his first daughter while serving in the military. But their family could not have an easy time. They could not even register their marriage, let alone hold a wedding. KCM revealed, "At that time I had tens of billions of won in debt to the point that it's hard to talk about," adding, "There were collection calls, calls demanding payment. Those calls were really scary. They came so relentlessly that I collapsed from even one call. Talking about family put pressure on my wife too, which I really couldn't imagine. So I didn't tell anyone about our marriage and went through it alone."
Because of that, he could not reveal the children, and he could not attend their external activities as a father. KCM said, "My eldest daughter asked her dad to come to school, and when that happened I felt really sorry. Looking back, I wonder how hard it must have been," and cried, "I couldn't make many memories that can only be made then. I missed sports days, graduation ceremonies, things a dad should do. When I talk about the kids, tears come automatically."
Especially because he has many memories with his father, KCM vowed, "My father died early. I was like friends with my father. I held his hand every day, went camping, so it overlaps with my thoughts of dad and makes me cry. I want to go to a place where I can empathize with fathers and make memories."
KCM's wife Ye-won is currently pregnant with their third child and was full term. With the news that the baby would be a son, KCM said, "The due date is Jan. 26. I cleared my schedule to be by her side no matter what that day." He also cautiously asked his wife, "Since we couldn't have a wedding, how about having a small vow ceremony?" He said he wanted to give his wife even a little happiness.
