Ko Woo-Rim of Forestella explained about "enlisting after marriage."
On the 7th, the "Junho Jimin" channel uploaded a video titled "The crazy variety sense of the classical-idol [I'll give you a meal~ Street with. Mingyu & Woo-Rim]."
That day Jo Min-kyu, looking at Kim Ji-min and Kim Jun-Ho, said, "This is the first time I've met you two, but you feel like a newlywed couple." Ko Woo-Rim also said, "From the moment you came in, the atmosphere already felt like newlyweds," and Kim Ji-min, in turn, asked Ko Woo-Rim, "Isn't that so?"
Then Ko Woo-Rim explained, "I'm newlywed too. I'm in my fourth year." Kim Jun-Ho said, "Four years? That's quite a while. We haven't even been together a year," and Jo Min-kyu mentioned, "He went to the military, so the time actually spent together also...," indicating that the four years included the period of military service.
Earlier, Ko Woo-Rim married figure skating national team member Kim Yuna in October 2022, but enlisted in November of the following year, after only one year, to fulfill his defense duty and was discharged in May 2025. Therefore, their actual newlywed life was only about two years.
In response, Kim Jun-Ho joked, "That's amazing, really. I mean, leaving Kim Yuna aside. Isn't that almost a scam marriage?" which drew laughter. Kim Ji-min said, "No, maybe he got married first just in case," and Kim Jun-Ho added, "Same here. I also said just in case. Let's get married before it gets worse," jokingly.
Ko Woo-Rim explained, "Actually, from the start of our relationship I felt somewhat apologetic that I hadn't done military service, so I told her from the beginning that 'I might have to go to the military in the middle,' and she readily (understood)."
Kim Ji-min asked, "When you dated secretly for three years, was it with marriage in mind?" and Ko Woo-Rim confessed, "Yes. From the time we started dating, I was confident that this person could somehow lead to marriage."
When asked, "Did your personalities match well?" he explained, "Yes. I'm somewhat calm and mild-mannered, and in that respect we have similar traits."
When asked, "Isn't Kim Yuna very down-to-earth?" he said, "Right. She's easygoing, and meeting Yuna made me realize she's a very frugal person. That's when I thought I should keep this person." expressing his affection for Kim Yuna.
