Young-sik admitted, “There were times when we grew distant and then close again, and there were precarious moments.” The repeated hesitation to go public naturally extended the timeline.

The long-distance nature of their relationship, with Young-sik in Gwangju and Hyun-sook in Incheon, also played a role. The physical distance, along with the realities of their individual lives and children, made maintaining the relationship challenging.

The reason for keeping their relationship private was clear. Young-sik stated, “If it was just for the show, we would have announced it quickly to create buzz. But we were serious and had to consider the children and many other factors,” emphasizing that the well-being of their children was more important than media attention.

He added, “That's why we met quietly.” The couple prioritized the potential impact on their children over public disclosure. Hyun-sook also noted, “We needed time to be sure of each other.”
