On January 6, YouTube channel “Zzanbro Shin Dong-yup” released a video featuring Gong Hyo-jin and Lee Min-ho.
The two actors appeared to be promoting their weekend drama “When the Stars Gossip,” which reportedly took a year to film due to difficulties in depicting zero gravity. Lee Min-ho remarked “Going to space was on my bucket list and I also visited SpaceX headquarters. But after filming this drama, that desire completely disappeared. Zero gravity is really tough”, eliciting laughter.
When the topic of marriage came up, Gong Hyo-jin admitted, “Before the drama appeared, I was preparing for my wedding, which made things even more worrying.” In October 2022, Gong Hyo-jin married Kevin Oh, a singer 10 years her junior, gaining significant attention.
Shin Dong-yup mentioned “Speaking of marriage, I happened to see Kevin Oh“, prompting Lee Min-ho to jokingly apologize, saying: “I’ll go to the bathroom while you talk about (Gong Hyo-jin’s) husband..” While she was away, Gong Hyo-jin shared stories about her husband, who is currently serving in the military.
Gong Hyo-jin confessed: “Being a gomshin (a woman waiting for her man in the army) makes our honeymoon phase even more intense. I cry every time we part.” Shin Dong-yup consoled her: “Consider this difficult time as the most special moment of your life and accept it as a gift.“When asked if she would visit her husband, she replied:”I went to see it. For outings, only family members can pick him up, so I go myself.“
When Lee Min-ho returned, he jokingly asked, “Have you finished talking about your husband yet?” Gong Hyo-jin teased him, “You have no idea how often Min-ho said he was “jealous” after I got married.”
Gong Hyo-jin was also asked about his proposal. He said: “We went to walk the dog near the Bukhan River, ate burgers outside and were just walking by the river. Kevin said he wanted to try out his camera, so I figured he would take some photos. Then suddenly, he proposed.”
However, he admitted, “At first there was no background music or anything. He simply said, “Will you marry me?” I told him to do it again and declared it cancelled. At first I was disappointed, but when we got home he had everything ready.“
He continued: “At home there was pollen everywhere and he had written ten postcards full of stories. As I read them on the way up, I started to cry. The messages had a clear beginning, middle and end. He had drawn pictures and included our photos. When I opened the door, he was holding a ring.” Gong Hyo-jin mused “Starting with disappointment was the key. A proposal should start with disappointment. I wondered why people cry during proposals, but I cried so much“, attracting attention.
