Actress Gong Hyo-jin revealed the reason why she decided to marry her husband, singer Kevin Oh.
Actress Gong Hyo-jin appeared as a guest on tvN's entertainment show 'You Quiz on the Block' (hereinafter referred to as 'You Quiz'), which aired on the 3rd.
On this day, Gong Hyo-jin mentioned her newlywed life with singer-songwriter Kevin Oh, who is 10 years younger than her. Gong Hyo-jin, who got married in the United States in October 2022, said, "I've been married for over a year. They say that if you go into lights-out mode together, you're a newlywed. I want to be with my husband for at least one more day. I ask my husband to make one piece of music every year. “I once said, ‘You don’t have to be very good at singing, and the lyrics can be as short as a lullaby. But in the end, I couldn’t complete it. I’m a newlywed, so it seems difficult to get emotionally involved. If you engage in creative activities when you’re happy, it doesn’t work out,’” he said. .
Gong Hyo-jin, who had always said she was a non-married person and had no plans to get married, also revealed the reason why she suddenly decided to get married. Gong Hyo-jin said, "I thought that way when I saw my friends getting married and raising children. Moreover, since there are many friends who are single these days, I thought, 'I won't be the only one who is single. I can't be lonely.'"
He added, "It's true that you know who you want to marry. The first thing I thought was that he was a much better person than me. But the moment I saw Kevin Oh, I thought, 'He's a better person than me.'" Gong Hyo-jin, who saved the nickname 'My Angel' in her contacts, burst out laughing, saying, "I think she's an angel. She really has wings. But Kevin's family gives me a hard time."
Gong Hyo-jin also introduced her first meeting with Kevin O. Gong Hyo-jin said, "After the drama 'When the Camellia Blooms' was over, I had a lot of free time and wanted to go to a concert. I heard that Kevin Oh was performing and went there. Right after that, there was an overseas musician concert, so Kevin Oh “I went with him. He said, ‘Kevin O does the ticketing,’ so I got his account number before his phone number.” He then replied, “I went on a trip to the United States, and Kevin O happened to be there at the time, and he said, ‘I want to have some tea.’ After that, I returned to Korea, and I told my friends, ‘It’s nothing,’ but I sent them a text message using the time difference as an excuse.”
Gong Hyo-jin, who has to live as a 'gom god' due to her husband's enlistment, has a lot of worries. Gong Hyo-jin said, "The real worry is that my husband has to go to the military and live as a bear god. I went the day before yesterday. I went to the training center. Two nights passed. I stayed up all night in tears and came out. My mind was complicated. There was a lot of confusion in my husband's thoughts. Newlyweds." We spent a year together, and at just the right time, we maintained our affection even more through long distance. Kevin created a reservation email and sent it. Just like in some movie, the email comes every 10 o'clock in the morning," he expressed his affection.
Gong Hyo-jin said, "Originally, I was dark, harsh, and cynical. After meeting Kevin, I became much more mellowed. My friends say that my personality has changed a lot. I thought that something would change after I got married, but the difference seems to be clear. The moment I got married, I felt like my blood was mixed. “There is a feeling of affection,” he said, confiding about the changes that have occurred since marriage.
In addition, Gong Hyo-jin, who debuted in the 1999 movie 'Girl's High School Ghost Story 2', has been loved by the public for her natural acting. Gong Hyo-jin, who said that her dream is to become a '10 million actor', expressed her aspirations, saying, "I have no connection to blockbusters, so I only did simple movies.
