Ko So-young Reveals Jang Dong-gun's Struggle with Saying No

Actress Ko So-young recently opened up about her husband Jang Dong-gun's difficulty in saying no.

On the October 30th episode of MBN's 'Oh Eun-young's Stay', a story was shared about a man who struggles with refusing requests, leading him to take out a large loan. Known by the nickname 'Yes Man', he admitted to disliking conflict and enduring losses to avoid it. Listening to his story, Ko So-young asked, "Does it make you uncomfortable to refuse?" and mentioned, "Actually, my husband also finds it hard to say no."

Ko So-young described herself as someone who can decisively say no, unlike Jang Dong-gun. She shared, "I once asked him why he couldn't refuse. He said it was more uncomfortable to say no, so it was easier to just agree."

She continued, "But gradually, I helped him overcome this by gently scolding him. I even created a few guidelines for him on how to refuse nicely. I advised him to find a comfortable way to say no."

Ko So-young married actor Jang Dong-gun in May 2010, and they welcomed their son in October of the same year. In February 2014, they had their second child, a daughter.

The couple is known to own properties in Seoul's Songjeong-dong, Cheongdam-dong, and Hannam-dong, with the estimated total value exceeding 40 billion KRW (approximately 400 million USD).
