Kang Soo-ji Expresses Discontent Over Kim Gook-jin's Anniversary Gift on 'Joseon's Lovebirds'

Kang Soo-ji expressed her dissatisfaction with Kim Gook-jin's anniversary gift on the TV Chosun show 'Joseon's Lovebirds'.

On the episode aired on the 20th, singer Insooni and her husband celebrated a special wedding anniversary.

Insooni's husband revealed, "It's our anniversary, but there's something strange. Men usually give small gifts to women, but women don't. I haven't received a gift in 32 years of marriage."

Watching this on VCR, Kim Gook-jin agreed, saying, "Isn't it really strange? Why should only men give gifts on anniversaries?" Kang Soo-ji responded, "Isn't that how it is in our country?" surprising the cast.

Kang Soo-ji revealed, "My husband has only given me a gift once." When asked what the gift was, she hesitated but eventually disclosed, "He gave me gold," causing laughter on set.

Regarding the gold gift, Choi Sung-kook speculated, "Didn't he win it as a prize at a golf tournament?" Kang Soo-ji boasted, "I didn't ask for gold. He bought a necklace so big I can't even wear it," prompting laughter.

Kim Gook-jin stated, "Women don't usually give gifts. I find that strange," and insisted that the one-sided gift-giving "becomes normal as it continues," drawing attention.

Meanwhile, upon hearing her husband's disappointment, Insooni immediately prepared an anniversary event. Claiming she hadn't been in the kitchen since becoming a singer, she prepared a heartfelt meal of naengi doenjang soup and LA galbi. When asked if she made the meat marinade herself, Insooni joked, "There are many good sauces available."

Additionally, she gifted her husband with an 'eyebrow tattoo' procedure, acknowledging his 32-year habit of drawing his eyebrows. Insooni shared, "He wanted it in the past, but I advised against it because the technology wasn't advanced, resulting in caterpillar-like eyebrows."

Her husband, surprised by the sudden eyebrow tattoo, commented, "When I joined 'Joseon's Lovebirds', I was told the theme was 'mother and daughter' love, but my role keeps increasing, which is surprising." He humorously added, "Is there a fee for my appearance? Please include my wife's promise to share it in the subtitles," eliciting laughter.
