K-Pop Star Go Woo-rim Expresses Love for Wife Kim Yuna on 'Immortal Songs'

Go Woo-rim expressed his affection for his wife, Kim Yuna.

On the October 13th episode of KBS2TV's 'Immortal Songs', various artists including Hong Kyung-min, Cha Ji-yeon & Kim Da-hyun, Yuk Joong-wan Band, Forestella, W24, and STAYC performed in a special episode dedicated to Lee Young-ae.

During the show, MC Lee Chan-won asked Go Woo-rim, "Kim Yuna unintentionally became a 'military wife', but it seems like you'll enjoy your newlywed life once you're discharged." Go Woo-rim responded, "We had two years of newlywed life before I enlisted, so technically, it's our third year of marriage. It still feels like we're newlyweds, and it keeps getting better, making me happier these days." His response drew admiration from the audience.

When asked if Kim Yuna watches the program, Go Woo-rim shared, "She never misses an episode, especially when Forestella performs. She encouraged me to be confident and relaxed, reminding me to perform as I always do, even though it's been a while since my last appearance." Go Woo-rim and Kim Yuna, who is five years his senior, married in 2022 after three years of dating.

Actress Lee Young-ae also shone with her candid remarks. Reflecting on her career choices, she explained why she chose the role in 'Dae Jang Geum' after receiving numerous offers following the film 'One Fine Spring Day'. "Looking back, it felt like destiny. 'Jang Geum' is a character with only a few lines in the Annals of the Joseon Dynasty, but I was thrilled to introduce a real historical figure from 500 years ago to the world," she recalled.

Lee Young-ae expressed her pride in the global interest in Korean culture, saying, "It was rewarding to see people worldwide take an interest in Korean culture. Some even mentioned that it helped them in their businesses abroad, so I think it might have contributed to the economy." When asked when she realized her beauty, she humorously shared, "Around six years old, foreigners would call me over on the street. I'm not sure if it was because I was pretty." She also mentioned, "I modeled for a study guide in third grade because a parent worked at the company. I'm not sure if it was because I was pretty."

When asked about her favorite idol groups, Lee Young-ae surprised many by naming "BOYNEXTDOOR and Tomorrow X Together" as her favorites. She also shared her efforts to be approachable, saying, "I try to pay more for meals to make other parents comfortable and approach them casually. However, my daughter sometimes critiques my casual style, so I occasionally stop by the salon before going out."
