Actor So Ji-sub captured fans' hearts once again by flaunting his unwavering 'loving husband' persona even in his 5th year of marriage. In his work, he portrays a cold and charismatic prosecutor, while in reality, he presents a charming 'gap difference' as a husband who is 1000% affectionate towards his wife.
Recently, in a promotional video for the Netflix series 'The Square,' So Ji-sub was asked about his married life, to which he replied with a bright smile, "Marriage satisfaction? It's 1000%. I recommend it. Being together is much better than being alone." Although it was a short comment, it was a moment that felt genuinely heartfelt.
In fact, So Ji-sub has always shown a serious and sincere attitude from dating his current wife, Jo Eun-jung, to their marriage. In May 2019, he acknowledged his public relationship for the first time after 24 years in the entertainment industry, causing a fresh stir, and his partner was Jo Eun-jung, who is 17 years younger and a former broadcaster. The two first connected through an interview on SBS 'Late Night Entertainment' in 2018 and later met again at a gathering of acquaintances, developing into a romantic relationship.
At the time of the love announcement, So Ji-sub directly conveyed through his agency's social media, "I have found someone precious. She is a great source of strength for me," showcasing his affection for his partner. Then, in April 2020, they quietly registered their marriage without a separate wedding, becoming a legal couple.
In an interview shortly after their marriage, he said, "I am happy after getting married. My wife is doing well, and I am not burdened by the questions," responding coolly and plainly. He notably shared, "Getting married actually brings a sense of stability, and my insomnia has disappeared. I feel psychologically matured too." He even added, "I absolutely recommend marriage," showcasing a different 'husband' image from his usual chic persona.
Five years later, his feelings remain the same. So Ji-sub has shown an even more solid love. In this 'The Square' interview, he expressed his affection for his wife once again with the phrase '1000% marriage satisfaction.' He smiled as he said, "Being together is better than being alone."
In his works, So Ji-sub plays a cold principled prosecutor, while in reality, he is a warm-hearted husband, and he has received the evaluation of being one of the few stars who can be described as 'perfect not only in acting skills but also in character.' Internet users have expressed their reactions, saying, "I didn't know So Ji-sub was such a loving husband," "It's nice to see him thinking about his wife," "A model husband... sincerity is felt in every word he says," and "A good example of a quietly living couple," adding warmth to the conversation.
Meanwhile, So Ji-sub is making a full-fledged return to acting after about two years through the Netflix series 'The Square,' showcasing his cold charisma in the role of the meticulous prosecutor 'Kim Hyun-min.'
