Korean Singer Kim Jung-min Opens Up About Unexpected Marriage Realities on 'Each House Couple'

Korean singer Kim Jung-min candidly reveals that his marriage is not what he had envisioned. The couple's unique living arrangement will be unveiled on the October 4th episode of tvN STORY's 'Each House Couple' at 8 PM.

The premiere episode of 'Each House Couple' captivated audiences with the touching story of Moon So-ri and Jang Joon-hwan, who have been living separately between Seoul and Jeju for five years. Despite their contrasting lifestyles—BUSY wife Moon So-ri and LAZY husband Jang Joon-hwan—their mutual trust and affection brought both entertainment and emotion.

Anticipation builds as the show will now feature Kim Jung-min and Rumiko, who live separately due to their three sons' education. The couple's real-life challenges, described as an unexpected 'wild goose life,' will be revealed.

According to a preview, their separate lives are drastically different. Kim Jung-min, living in Seoul, showcases his 'shockingly efficient cleaning method,' confidently stating, "I'm really good at cleaning," as he tackles the living room, kitchen, and even the bed with a single vacuum cleaner, surprising his wife and the studio panel.

Meanwhile, Rumiko's day in Japan is a whirlwind, managing the household and their three sons alone. Her hectic schedule leaves no room for rest, and the show will also highlight their sons' lives, including a hint at a possible injury to their second son.

The production team promises to reveal not only the couple's real separate lives but also their love story, from their first meeting to marriage. They aim to showcase the different realities faced by the 20-year married couple living apart, along with their honest struggles and heartfelt emotions.

Kim Jung-min and Rumiko, who married in 2006, have been living separately since 2023. Rumiko previously shared on a variety show that they started sleeping in separate rooms after the birth of their third child in 2013, spending more time apart than together.
