Ryu Phillip, who met Mina three months before his military enlistment, shared, "We met at a gathering, and I wanted to have a drink with her. It took me five hours to find the right opportunity. I didn't know her age," adding, "If I had known there was a 17-year age difference, I wouldn't have pursued her."

He further explained, "There are many who think I married her for her wealth and fame, but that's not true. Just by looking at her, you wouldn't feel the 17-year age difference," clarifying, "I met her without knowing, and that's how our relationship began."

Ryu Phillip and Mina overcame their 17-year age gap and got married in 2018.
