'Sikgaek Heo Yeongman's Baekban Journey' Im Chang Jung and Seo Ha-yan revealed their love story.
On the 22nd episode of TV CHOSUN's 'Sikgaek Heo Yeongman's Baekban Journey,' the appearance of Im Chang Jung, the singer of 'Soju One Glass' that triggered nationwide sing-alongs, setting out to explore Seoul's anju was shown.
To taste a full-course blowfish meal at a blowfish specialty restaurant that day, Im Chang Jung attracted attention by preparing three sets of spoons and chopsticks. He introduced his wife Seo Ha-yan, saying, "I have a stylist who follows all my schedules. While we were eating together, she was starving alone."
Im Chang Jung's wife Seo Ha-yan serves not only as his dedicated stylist but also as on-site manager, his No. 1 fan behind the scenes, the organizer of the waiting room and the mother of five sons. Heo Yeong praised Seo Ha-yan's appearance as soon as he saw her, saying, "Beauties sometimes have a mole on their nose," and Seo Ha-yan smiled and said, "Thank you."
Heo Yeong asked about the behind-the-scenes of their first meeting, "How did the two of you meet?" Seo Ha-yan recalled, "I was eating anju with a friend and (Im Chang Jung) was behind us. Then he came over to us and said, 'Buy us a beer, please.'"
When Heo Yeong asked, "Usually when you work you would say, 'Shall we have a beer?' Did he ask you to buy it?", Im Chang Jung said, "It was such a ridiculous line that it just burst out with laughter. Inside I thought, that's it. In the end I got her phone number."
Seo Ha-yan said, "From the next day he started courting me actively — he expressed himself extremely actively. I was so head over heels that I couldn't tell whether it was a dream or reality," she confessed. Im Chang Jung said, "From then on it was chaos. Friends were friends, but there was chaos at home."
Seo Ha-yan, who said her family strongly opposed the relationship at the time, said, "My older sister was living in China and returned to Korea immediately from China. My mother said she would call the agency."
Im Chang Jung expressed gratitude, saying, "At that time my wife cried and said that. She said being with me made her happiest, that she laughed a lot and it was good, so what could she do. Hearing that really moved my heart." In that way the two overcame the opposition of acquaintances and family and an 18-year age gap to become a married couple.
