Soccer player Ki Sung-yueng revealed his wife Han Hye-jin's reaction to his joint appearance on "You Quiz on the Block" with actor Kim Kangwoo, who is related to him through Dongsuh.
Cable channel tvN's variety show You Quiz on the Block released a pre-release video on its official channel on the 22nd titled "A combination even Han Hye-jin didn't expect: Kim Kangwoo & Ki Sung-yueng. From the behind-the-scenes of You Quiz recruitment to absurd anecdotes from the national team era!"
That day Ki Sung-yueng said he was appearing on a broadcast with Kim Kangwoo for the first time and relayed Han Hye-jin's reaction, saying, "My wife was also really baffled. She asked if it would be okay."
Kim Kangwoo also said, "I found it funny," and recounted an episode about his wife: "What was very funny was that she told my wife that she got contacted for 'You Quiz.' When I said it was a family special, she asked, 'Then is it me?' She thought she was going to be on it. When I said, 'It's not you,' she asked, 'Then Hye-jin?' and I said no. 'Seong-yong?!' like that."
Kim Kangwoo became the eldest son-in-law by marrying Han Hye-jin's eldest sister. He said about Ki Sung-yueng, "The family atmosphere has changed a lot. My mother finds me a bit difficult. I'm the first son-in-law. She finds it very difficult. When I come home from work she would rush out," and added, "The youngest son-in-law is much more comfortable for her. Don't be so intimidated."
In response, Ki Sung-yueng added, "Rather than being doted on, my sister-in-law is older than me and lived with her more, so there's a big age gap like a youngest son. I think my mother-in-law treats me with that feeling."
Ki Sung-yueng also shared his honest feelings as an active soccer player. Yu Jae-seok asked Ki Sung-yueng, "Do you play each game with the mindset that this year could be your last?"
Ki Sung-yueng candidly said, "If the results are not good, the first to be criticized are the veterans, the older players. The question 'Isn't it about time to stop?' comes up. Fighting that kind of prejudice is not easy, to be honest."
