Mina considering divorce for '17 years younger' Phillip Ryu

Singer Mina revealed that she had been thinking about divorce for her husband Phillip Ryu, who is 17 years her junior.

On the 19th episode of KBS 2TV's 'Walking into the Wonderland' (hereafter referred to as 'Golhwanjang'), which aired on the 28th, Mina and Ryu Phillip's family's six-year marriage trip to Singapore was depicted.

On this day, Mina's mother Jang Moo-sik rolled up her sleeves for Ryu Phillip, who worked hard as a travel planner. In particular, he showed his love for his son-in-law by bringing Philip Ryu's favorite side dishes, such as soybean paste, red pepper paste, canary, and kimchi, in a carrier. Mina's mother presents ingredients that were urgently airlifted from the Singapore market, namely sheep brain meat and shark meat.

Unlike Mina and her younger sister Shim Seong-mi, who were shocked to see the actual sheep brain meat, Philip Ryu, who boasts a taste that has no likes or dislikes, smelled it and said, “It’s really fresh. It will be delicious.” He swallowed. Mina can't eat unfamiliar food, but Ryu Phillip has an open mind like a part-time restaurant worker. Afterwards, Phillip Ryu, who even helped his mother-in-law Jang Mu-sik prepare meals, spread a delicious mukbang. In particular, he commented on the grilled sheep brain meat as “feeling like eating raw liver,” and admired the shark meat maeuntang, saying, “I thought it was Dongtaetang, and the shark meat tastes better than Dongtae.”

After mastering even the top of the kimchi, which is said to be eaten only by those in the know, Phillip Ryu said, “This is mother art. Thank you for cooking hard.”

That evening, the Philmi couple visited a bar with a luxurious atmosphere for a date for just the two of them. Mina thanked her husband for preparing the family trip on her behalf, and Phillip Ryu said, “I think I finally gave my parents a small present. I thought I lived hard to become a wonderful husband and son-in-law...”, revealing his success as a celebrity and his heavy heart toward his family.

In response, Mina said, “It was very difficult (because of Mina’s 17-year age gap and her husband’s label). I tried but it didn't work out If I go first, I sometimes think about whether I should send my honey in the middle because I have no children and will be lonely.” Ryu Phillip hoped that Mina would not have to bear the burden of becoming a second-year-old, and said, “Didn’t we endure even though we went through all the battles before and after the birth? At this rate, I wonder if it would be okay for us to live alone even if we don't have children.
