Kim Nam-joo Reveals Secret to Happy Marriage with Kim Seung-woo

Kim Nam-joo recently shared the secret to her happy marriage with husband Kim Seung-woo.

During the filming of the 12th episode of SBS Life's variety show 'Queen of Insight Kim Nam-joo,' she introduced her 17 billion won mansion's kitchen. She humorously remarked, "There's nothing to show in the kitchen. It's small. My dream is to have an island. The cooking space is so narrow that I use the dining table like an island."

When the production team candidly commented, "It is indeed small," Kim Nam-joo joked, "I've been living and eating here for 20 years. That's why my relationship with my husband improved. It's small, so we can look at each other closely," revealing an unexpected secret to their marital bliss.

Kim Nam-joo playfully added, "When we built this house 20 years ago, people called it a mansion, but now they say it's modest and has a homely feel. Hmph."

The couple's residence in Samseong-dong was purchased in 2003 under Kim Nam-joo's name for 2 billion won. The area is known as the 'Korean Beverly Hills,' home to notable figures like Kim Taek-jin, CEO of NCSoft, Lee Joon-ho, chairman of NHN, and Koo Bon-neung, chairman of Heesung Group. The current market value is estimated at 16 to 17 billion won.

Kim Nam-joo also revealed the nickname Kim Seung-woo uses for her. When 'Jinju' was suggested as a subscriber nickname, she shared, "Jinju is what my husband always calls me." She further disclosed that her name is saved as Jinju in Kim Seung-woo's phone, explaining, "He says it's because I'm precious and like a jewel, but actually, he did it to avoid being caught before we got married."

The 12th episode, featuring Kim Nam-joo's diet foods and kitchen items, airs on November 7 at 8:40 PM, with related content available on her YouTube channel earlier that day at 11:45 AM.
