Shim Hyung-tak "The cost of marriage with Saya is fully supported by the father-in-law"
Shim Hyung-tak, the 'pre-groom', told the story behind his international marriage with his Japanese wife, Saya.

Through the SBS 'Strong Heart League' broadcast on the 13th, Shim Hyung-tak talked about the process of getting married to his Japanese wife, Saya, who is 18 years younger than him, and his sincere gratitude towards Saya and his wife's family who helped him stand up again during the difficult times. revealed

On this day, Shim Hyung-tak, who started the talk with the theme of 'Actually, I am registering my marriage for the second time', immediately explained, "I am registering my marriage once in Japan and once again in Korea" and was teased (?) for being a 'newbie in entertainment'. However, soon after, the sense of immersion was maximized with the 'push and hold talk' that went back and forth between tears and 'destruction of emotion', drawing warm support and congratulations from the cast.

First of all, Shim Hyung-tak said about the opportunity to meet Saya, “Saya was an official of a Japanese character company, and when we met for filming, I fell in love at first sight.” Shim Hyung-tak said, “Saya had a prejudice against celebrities, so in the beginning, she thought of me as a tourist and treated me like a tourist.” I couldn't forget it, so I contacted him again, and I got an answer saying, 'I still think you're my boyfriend.'"

Shim Hyung-tak, who said he headed to Japan to meet Saya's parents as soon as the sky road opened, revealed a 'marriage proposal letter' that he wrote with his heart at the time. Then, he mentioned the cultural difference, saying, "After buying favor with Saya's grandfather for his favorite wine, he was allowed to marry." Shim Hyung-tak said, “I said I would pay for the wedding hall, but after seeing my shocked expression, my father readily said, ‘Don’t worry, I will pay for the wedding hall.’” He said,” adding a touch of emotion.

Lastly, Shim Hyung-tak showed extraordinary affection to his wife's family who accepted him and left a video letter to his wife Saya. “I was able to stand here again because of you, you healed all my wounds,” said Shim Hyung-tak with tears in his eyes. I got applause. Shim Hyung-tak, who has made a new nest at Humane Entertainment with Alomal, is preparing for his next project with the prospect of getting married.
