Actor Jung Kyung-ho's interview, in which he expressed ongoing affection for fellow actor Choi Soo-young, who he has been publicly dating for 12 years, is receiving renewed attention.
Recently, Jung Kyung-ho, in an interview with a media outlet, when asked, 'What can be said as another pillar of life besides acting?', replied, 'It's a very obvious answer, but for me, the center of my life besides acting is Choi Soo-young.'
He also revealed, 'I sometimes think that I act because of her,' adding, 'One reason is that I want to look good to her and let her know that I am a good person and a good actor.'
'Moreover, what makes me happiest outside of acting is Choi Soo-young’s happiness because we have been together for a long time and see each other most often,' he said, adding, 'Thanks to her patience, we could meet for so long. I make mistakes often. I don't do that anymore, but I used to drink a lot and get drunk,' he joked.
Furthermore, regarding the importance of a life partner that one has been with for a long time, Jung Kyung-ho conveyed that 'since we have been dreaming of being good actors for a long time, this might be even more so.'
Meanwhile, the couple of Jung Kyung-ho and Soo-young acknowledged their romantic relationship after paparazzi photos of them dating were released in January 2014, and they have been nurturing their love for 12 years.
In particular, the two have garnered significant attention as they are often spotted dating. They support each other's work activities with coffee trucks, and their joint travel to Australia has also caught public interest.
