On the July 26 broadcast of the SBS variety show "My Little Old Boy", Kim Jong-min met with Nam Chang-hee and Han Sang-jin.
During the broadcast, Kim Jong-min met up with Han Sang-jin and Nam Chang-hee, who are known as two of the biggest devoted husbands in the entertainment industry.
Han Sang-jin drew attention by revealing that he has been living in Busan for six years for the sake of his wife, who is currently the head coach of a professional basketball team with ties to Busan, and that he commutes to Seoul whenever he has work.
As a doting husband, he sparked surprise by saying, "My wife is only home for 60 days out of the 365 days a year. If we lived in Seoul, I wouldn't even get to see her for those 60 days."
Meanwhile, Nam Chang-hee prepared ingredients to cook for his older friends, sharing, "Since my wife leaves for work in the morning, I prepare a meal while she gets ready," adding that he would make the French toast he used to make for her, giving it a brunch-style touch.
While Nam Chang-hee was cooking, Kim Jong-min and Han Sang-jin talked about married life. Kim Jong-min, who is in his first year of marriage and says it is the happiest time, mentioned that he and his wife do not fight.
In response, Han Sang-jin recalled, "I fought with my wife starting from our honeymoon and almost got a divorce," explaining a past situation where he threw the book he was reading onto the floor out of a moment of petty anger, which prompted his wife to pack her bags and try to leave immediately.
He continued, "She said she didn't know I was that kind of person and tried to leave. Then she asked if I hadn't even cursed. When I thought about it, I guess I momentarily said something like 'what the heck.' So while I was panicking, my wife told me to end things quickly before we registered our marriage," looking back at that time when they were truly pushed to the brink of divorce.
Han Sang-jin added, "I immediately got down on my knees and wrote a letter of pledge. Because of that, we don't have a single photo of the two of us together throughout the entire honeymoon," revealing how he completely changed afterward and became a devoted husband.
To Nam Chang-hee, who mentioned that he sometimes suddenly has dreams of his wife disappearing, Han Sang-jin made everyone laugh by saying, "That's because you're worried your wife might run away. Like the fairy and the woodcutter, you'll probably feel anxious until you have three kids."
Once Nam Chang-hee's signature French toast was ready, Han Sang-jin and Kim Jong-min brought up Nam Chang-hee's wife, who was once famous as the "Han River IU".
Nam Chang-hee explained, "When we first met, I didn't know anything like that. A friend said they knew someone who shared good hobbies with me and thought it would be nice for us to meet," talking about how he first got to know his wife through a friend.
He added, "I developed a crush and asked an acquaintance for a natural setting to meet, and that's how we met for the first time. At the time, my wife was an aspiring actress, so we naturally exchanged contact information as senior and junior colleagues. From there, we slowly got to know each other."
Nam Chang-hee continued, "But then my friend ended up blurting out to her that I had romantic feelings for her. My wife, who had no idea I felt that way, cut off contact after that day. Then much later, she reached out to me first through social media."
He shared their love story, which led to marriage after four years of dating, by saying, "Shori asked me to promote Mighty Mouse's new track since it was released, so I posted it, and she saw it and reached out. I had posted a story promoting a song titled 'Will Love Come?', and she messaged me saying, 'Is love coming?' So I immediately told her let's meet, and said I would go right in front of her house the very next day. We started dating from that exact day, and it led to marriage."
Nam Chang-hee drew attention by revealing that their love bore fruit thanks to Shori, and that he still expresses his gratitude to him to this day.
