Actress Oh Na-ra conveyed her deep affection for Kim Do-hoon, with whom she has been in a long-term relationship for 25 years.
On the 30th, a video titled "A drinking talk with brothers and sisters that guarantees 100% laughter with just words" was uploaded to Kim Kang-woo's YouTube channel.
In this video, Seo Hyun-cheol and Oh Na-ra appeared as guests to share conversations together. During this, Oh said, looking at the two married individuals, "Everyone has a family, so they have children and a wife, and I envy that," and Kim Kang-woo mentioned Kim Do-hoon, saying, "But you have a brother too, don't you?"
Seo Hyun-cheol commented, "Your boyfriend must feel sad," and Oh reflected, "People ask, 'How can you stay together for so long without breaking up?' But there's a reason for that. I mentioned being in Japan earlier. At that time, things were very difficult due to the IMF crisis, and I had no choice but to go to Japan."
She recalled, "We had a time in Japan where we were apart. There was no assurance of when we could meet. So every day my prayer was, 'Please let me be with my brother.' It was about three years, and there's some story behind it. I went to Japan, but due to incomplete documents, I had to come back. The theater was supposed to help me with the paperwork, but there was an anti-Korea person within the theater. That person deliberately did not send the paperwork. However, at that time, my brother had already gone to Japan with me. He went, and I couldn't get back in for a year. He didn't know when I would return, so he spent nine months homeless."
Hearing this, Kim Kang-woo exclaimed, "This is amazing!" and Oh revealed, "We truly lived in dire conditions on both sides, constantly praying for us to be together. There were such times. So, I couldn’t stand it anymore and borrowed money to buy a plane ticket to go back to Japan. When I arrived at the airport, my brother came to pick me up but didn’t recognize me. I thought to myself, 'Is that person a beggar?' I didn’t recognize him. When I got there, I found out that the documentation had been deliberately omitted, and once I returned to the theater, we became comfortable with each other again."
Kim Kang-woo expressed surprise, saying, "You're an incredible man," and Oh added, "There are stories like that, which makes us bonded. It's deep." Kim Kang-woo then wondered, "If I were a man and your older brother, could I do that? I couldn't." He also expressed admiration, reflecting on Oh's comment that she was in her 30s at that time, saying, "When you are in your early 20s, you can act out of passionate impulse, but doing that for love when you are far beyond 30 makes no sense."
Oh stated, "We truly had nothing together," reflecting on the difficult circumstances, while Seo Hyun-cheol empathized, saying, "Being in harder times can make the bond even stronger."
Meanwhile, Oh Na-ra and Kim Do-hoon have been dating since they met through the musical 'The Last Empress' in 2000.
