Ji Jin-hee, "Get 50,000 won per week from your wife"

Actor Ji Jin-hee is set to reveal his heartwarming love story with his wife.

On the upcoming episode of SBS's variety show 'My Ugly Duckling,' airing on the 8th, the 'melodrama master' Ji Jin-hee will appear as a special MC.

Upon Ji Jin-hee's arrival at the studio, the 'Movengers' (mothers of the cast members) erupted in cheers and even confessed, "He was my ideal type." In response to the enthusiastic reception, Ji Jin-hee performed an impromptu melodramatic scene, capturing the hearts of the audience.

Known for his deep affection for his wife, Ji Jin-hee shared, "In our 20 years of marriage, there hasn't been a single moment when I didn't find my wife beautiful," making the 'Movengers' swoon once again. However, Ji Jin-hee also reminisced about the days when he received a mere 50,000 won as weekly allowance from his wife, expressing his frustration at the time. Despite proposing an increase, his wife only raised it by 20,000 won, which left Ji Jin-hee feeling disappointed. He eventually resorted to a bold strategy to successfully get a raise.

Ji Jin-hee also revealed, "The nagging changes with the seasons," explaining that his wife's frugality makes him cautious even when adjusting the air conditioner or using the bathroom. Kim Jong-kook's mother empathized, saying, "It's the same at our house," eliciting laughter from everyone.

Additionally, Ji Jin-hee recalled his first meeting with his wife, sharing that he was smitten at first sight and exchanged contact information but never made the first move to contact her, leaving everyone curious.

Ji Jin-hee's captivating talk can be seen on 'My Ugly Duckling,' airing at 9:05 PM.
