Korean actress Choi Jung-yoon, 49, has revealed her second marriage with a husband five years her junior, marking a new chapter in her life.

On the 12th, Choi shared a video titled "I Thought a Lot About Whether to Tell You (Choi Jung-yoon's Remarriage Story)" on her YouTube channel 'Choi Jung-yoon's Double Life.'

In the video, Choi expressed deep trust and affection for her younger husband, describing him as "a truly wonderful and kind person."

She further explained, "He was a younger friend I knew. We played golf together a few times, talked about various things, and I offered to help promote his business. His company was in Jecheon, and since my daughter lived there, I planned to visit. I booked a pension to spend time with my daughter, and he offered to help with the luggage."

Choi was particularly surprised by what her daughter said upon meeting her husband for the first time. "My daughter showed off all her talents in front of him and then suddenly called him 'Dad.' It was my third meeting with him, but her first. It felt like fate," she confessed.

Choi added, "No matter how much I love someone, if my child doesn't like them, remarriage would be difficult. But it seems like destiny."

She also shared her remarriage wedding photos. "My husband and I didn't want a wedding ceremony, but my daughter insisted. I didn't want to, so she gave up, but she kept asking for at least a photo shoot," Choi explained.

Choi reflected, "It's my second time taking wedding photos at 49, and people say I look much prettier than the first time. My daughter is so happy, and that alone satisfies me. Whenever we go out, she holds her dad's hand first, not mine. Watching them from behind makes me so happy," she shared about her joyful life after remarriage.

Choi also expressed her desire to shed the 'single mom' label, saying, "I didn't hide it intentionally, but lately, I've only been getting offers for variety shows, not dramas. After the single mom label, I've been approached for solo programs, programs with my child, and single mom shows," explaining why she decided to announce her remarriage.

Choi Jung-yoon was previously married to the eldest son of the vice chairman of E-Land Group in 2011 but announced her divorce in 2022. Having raised her daughter alone, she now embarks on a vibrant new chapter with her remarriage.
