North Korean actress Kim Ah Ra has revealed how marrying a South Korean man completely changed her life for the better. In a video uploaded to the YouTube channel Kim Seo Ah TV on October 27, titled “A North Korean beauty actress says her life changed after marrying a Korean man!”, she openly shared her thoughts on marriage, motherhood and the change in her mindset.
Kim Ah Ra spoke about his health for the first time, admitting: “My stamina is really bad, so I shouldn’t be losing weight, but I keep losing it. I weigh 42kg right now.” Hearing this, Kim Seo Ah expressed surprise, saying that he was “almost like the weight of an idol.” Kim Ah Ra revealed that she gained around 14kg during pregnancy but lost 9kg after giving birth.
She described motherhood as a life-changing experience, stating: “There’s a huge difference between having a child and not having one. I feel like my life is divided into a past life and a present life. That’s how much everything has changed. I need to rebuild my strength now.”
Reflecting on her marriage, Kim Ah Ra shared heartfelt gratitude and joy. “I feel like I’ve received an extra blessing. I really met the right person. Even right before the wedding, I thought, ‘I really met the perfect partner,’ and after living together I’m even happier. There’s no one like him.”
She confessed that she once struggled with trust issues around men. “Before marriage, I didn’t trust men. I thought all men would cheat. You know the saying: ‘No matter how beautiful your wife is, the excitement only lasts three months.’ I believed that all men were equal, but that belief was shattered after I met my husband.
Now focused on raising her son, Kim Ah Ra admitted that she has stepped away from acting for the time being. “In the past, I wanted to work hard as an actress, but now I’m not active. If I act, I would be away for days on set, day and night. What about my son? That’s why I’m not acting right now,” he explained.
Kim Ah Ra’s story reflects not only her journey as a defector-turned-actress, but also as a woman who overcame mistrust, found love, and embraced a new chapter built on happiness and family.
