Hyun-sook also revealed that she was the one who proposed a serious relationship to Young-sik after the show, expressing her fears about the possibility of a breakup affecting their children.

Over the past seven months, the couple has not only built deep trust but also solidified their commitment through periods of separation and reconciliation.
