Shin Joo-ah boasts about life as the daughter-in-law of a chaebol family: “7 housekeepers and 10 rooms”

Actress Shin Joo-ah spoke about her married life with her Thai tycoon husband.

Shin Joo-ah, Kim Gwang-gyu, and singer Shin Hyo-beom appeared as guests on the SBS entertainment show 'Single for Men with Shoes Off', which aired on the 26th.

On this day, Lee Sang-min said about Shin Joo-ah’s husband, “He is the owner of a Thai paint company. He was a second-generation chaebol, then inherited and runs the company. It is promising in the future. Thailand continues to build. “You can think of it as similar to the ready-mix concrete industry,” he said. Shin Joo-ah, who debuted in the 2004 drama 'Little Women', married Rachanikhun, a businessman who runs a paint company in Thailand, in 2014.

Shin Joo-ah said, “What I felt was that my husband respects his parents very much. It comes naturally for parents to cherish, raise, and respect their children with love. “I felt it as we lived together,” he said.

Shin Joo-ah also graced the front page of a Thai newspaper when she got married. In addition, the couple's enormous newlywed home was revealed and attracted attention. Shin Joo-ah, who lives in a house with a swimming pool, said, “There are a lot of swimming pools in Southeast Asia. My father bought it for me. When I said I was getting married, I picked out a few houses I wanted to live in. “Out of 10, 3 caught my eye.”

When asked how many rooms there were, Shin Joo-ah counted for a while and then answered, “There is a separate building, a main building, and a separate staff room,” and “about 10.” He then explained, “There is a bedroom, a room next door, and a room where I sleep alone when there is a fight.”

Next, Shin Joo-ah said, "Actually, there is no difference in living. However, I live a little more comfortably." When asked how many employees take care of household chores, Shin Joo-ah responded, "There are three people who live in the house. About four people commute to work." “He explained. Also, I was surprised to hear that if I wanted to go to a karaoke room, a live band would sing.

She also revealed about her first meeting with her husband. Shin Joo-ah said, “She is the junior of my elementary school friend’s husband. I had friends in Thailand, so I went on a trip and got a call from my friend. “My husband said he had a good junior and asked if I would like to meet him, so we met.”

He continued, “I thought I was going to cut a steak and cut a knife, but I grabbed the chicken with my hands and ripped it apart. My husband saw it and fell in love with it at first sight. “I felt like they thought of me differently,” he recalled.

After that, her husband came to Korea every two weeks to see Shin Joo-ah. Shin Joo-ah said, “He said he wanted to get to know me, but I thought he was unemployed. I thought he was a fraud. “If you come here with just your passport and cell phone, you could be scammed into marriage by a foreigner,” he said.
