Actor Jung Woong-in Approves Daughter's International Romance: A Heartwarming Family Encounter

Actor Jung Woong-in has given his blessing to his second daughter, Soyoon, for her international romance.

Soyoon recently visited a restaurant with her Japanese friend, Koki. While waiting for their order, her older sister, Seyoon, joined them. Soyoon explained, "I usually share my concerns with my sister, so I wanted her to meet Koki."

Seyoon began questioning Soyoon, asking, "What did you two do today? Was it a date?" She was particularly surprised when she saw Koki's phone wallpaper, which featured a drawing of his face by Soyoon. Seyoon reacted with a playful "Wow," and teased Soyoon about her hairpin, saying, "Isn't that a bit too much?"

Seyoon also directed sharp questions at Koki, asking if he had many female friends. Koki replied, "Not a single one." When Soyoon chimed in, "He said he has none," Seyoon skeptically asked, "Do you believe that?" Watching the scene unfold on a VCR, their father, Jung Woong-in, cheered for Seyoon's protective nature.

As the food arrived, Koki expressed his delight with Korean cuisine, but hesitated with the kimchi pancake. Soyoon kindly placed a piece on his plate, prompting Seyoon to jokingly scold her sister, "Shouldn't you serve me first?"

While eating, Koki received a call and mentioned that a friend had arrived, pointing to the seat next to Seyoon. Surprised yet pleased, Seyoon thanked him, causing a playful sense of betrayal for Jung Woong-in. Seyoon's repeated glances over her shoulder added to the humor.

Koki's friend, Juma, joined them, and Seyoon blushed upon making eye contact. Juma showed off his nail art, asking if Seyoon disliked it. Seyoon responded positively, appreciating its uniqueness.

Juma inquired about their ideal types, and Seyoon mentioned she liked tall people. Juma, claiming his height rounds up to 180cm, flirted, "How about that?" Seyoon, who is 169cm, was charmed by Juma's playful banter.

The group then shared a meal of octopus, with Soyoon helping Juma when he struggled. Koki, noticing this, was visibly uncomfortable, prompting Seyoon to ask his opinion. Koki firmly replied, "I don't like it," causing Soyoon to blush.

Suddenly, their father, Jung Woong-in, appeared. Koki, though surprised, offered his seat to him. Observing this, Jang Yoon-jung and Do Kyung-wan praised Koki's manners. Jung Woong-in asked Koki if he came to Korea to see Soyoon, to which Seyoon interjected, "Of course, he did." Despite the impromptu meeting, Koki confidently affirmed.

Jung Woong-in, curious about Koki's intentions, asked if he knew about Soyoon's art. Koki showed his phone wallpaper again, leaving Jung Woong-in momentarily speechless.

Jung Woong-in then prepared a special dish for Koki, jokingly questioning if it was poisoned. This light-hearted moment brought laughter to the studio.

Jung Woong-in also served Juma, accidentally splashing water on Soyoon. Koki quickly offered a tissue, which Jung Woong-in used to playfully wipe Koki's lips.

Seyoon asked her father about the possibility of Soyoon marrying internationally. Jung Woong-in, after a pause, expressed a change of heart, saying, "I used to oppose it, but now I think it's Soyoon's life." Soyoon, in an interview, shared her surprise and relief at her father's openness.

Koki presented Jung Woong-in with gifts from Japan, including banana bread and chopsticks, and politely asked if he could continue communicating with Soyoon. Jung Woong-in jokingly pretended to return the gifts but eventually gave his blessing, saying, "Let's meet again."

As the evening ended, Koki, sensing the uncertainty of their next meeting, handed Soyoon a heartfelt letter in Korean, expressing his deep affection for her.
