Actor Kim Kangwoo revealed the story of why he opposed the marriage between his sister-in-law, actress Han Hye-jin, and footballer Ki Sung-yueng.
The cable channel tvN variety show You Quiz on the Block on the 20th released a pre-release video on its official channel titled "The player you liked became Dongsuh?! Kim Kangwoo was also embarrassed by 25-year-old Ki Sung-yueng's marriage announcement."
Yu Jae-seok asked, "Kim Kangwoo was a fan of player Ki Sung-yueng before meeting Dongsuh as an in-law, but he opposed the marriage,"
In response, Kim Kangwoo said frankly, "Actually I was surprised. I almost broke a dish while washing up when I heard it. I was so surprised. He's a player I like, and I worried whether the pairing of these two people would be right," and "She's my sister-in-law whom I had watched for so long, and I have also been in relationships for a long time. There was also quite an age difference."
Ki Sung-yueng said, "I met my brother-in-law when I first went to greet my mother-in-law. I went to greet her in April and married in July. The whole family was gathered. It was an atmosphere of 'let's see how you do,'" and "Because at that time there were almost no older-woman younger-man couples. His job also required care from the side, so my brother-in-law probably had such concerns," he recalled the situation at the time.
He continued, "I told my mother-in-law clearly. I will take responsibility for your daughter," and "I was 25 at the time. My mother-in-law probably didn't trust me at first. I was young and suddenly came and said we would marry. I thought that confirming the wedding date quickly might reassure her, so I suggested we get married soon," revealing the behind-the-scenes of his marriage to Han Hye-jin.
Ki Sung-yueng and Han Hye-jin are an older-woman younger-man couple with an 8-year age gap; they married in August 2013 and have a daughter.
