Actress Kang Ye-won has entered the matchmaking process.
On the broadcast of tvN STORY's 'Can We Love Now?' on the 3rd, Kang Ye-won was depicted deciding to get married and participating in matchmaking.
On that day, Kang Ye-won said she had spent her time engaging in hobbies without any activities. Kang Ye-won noted, "I was very much a workaholic and prioritized work, so I didn’t know rest." She also discussed her reason for choosing to take a break, saying, "I cried a lot while reading the comments."
Kang Ye-won captured attention by saying, "I just thought I should quit everything and go to the countryside, which made me feel at ease." On that day, Kang Ye-won remarked, "I wondered if this was my fate. Not being able to marry might also be fate," but she ultimately shared the reason that led her to decide to get married. Kang Ye-won said, "When I received the casting call and was contemplating, my father’s face popped into my mind."
Kang Ye-won shed tears while revealing that she decided to appear due to her elderly parents. She stated, "Isn’t there a saying that I should get married? I really believed people shouldn’t marry because of age and my parents. But we never know when mom and dad will leave us. I want to give them hope as soon as possible. If I don't make an effort, nothing will happen."
Kang Ye-won said, "I thought it would be very dangerous if time passed like this. At that time, I received a call from 'Can We Love Now?' and thought, is this an opportunity? I felt that if I didn’t go here, my life wouldn’t change, so I made up my mind and came out."
Kang Ye-won expressed, "It’s not an easy decision, but I hope it becomes an opportunity to meet a truly good person. I genuinely want to receive love and also give love. I hope a person who matches well with me will come forward."
Meanwhile, on that day, Kang Ye-won met with 6 years younger radiation therapist Kim Sang-hun as her matchmaking partner. The two spent time getting to know each other while discussing various topics.
Kang Ye-won said, "I was very worried when the hospital went on strike. I pondered what would happen if my parents needed treatment but were not accepted at the hospital." Kim Sang-hun empathized with Kang Ye-won’s feelings, saying, "It’s really unfortunate that patients have to suffer the consequences of this situation."
