On 'Radio Star,' singer Ko Woo-rim revealed his love story as the 5-year younger husband of 'Figure Queen' Kim Yuna.
On the 18th, the MBC entertainment program 'Radio Star' featured guests including Kim Tae-kyun, Cheon Rok-dam (Lee Jung), Lee Dae-hyung, and Forestella's Ko Woo-rim.
Ko Woo-rim said, "After discussing it with Jina, she said she never imagined she would marry someone younger. Since there's a five-year age difference with my wife, I was worried I might not come across as serious. I tried to speak well, and in the meantime, I thought the most appealing aspect might have been my mature-sounding voice."
He revealed, "I was 24 years old when I confessed. I was a very young guy, and I hadn't even gone to the military yet, so it was a bit early to bring up marriage in front of others. I had feelings for marriage before dating, but when I mentioned wanting to meet with marriage in mind, I honestly expressed my worries that my confession wouldn't be taken seriously. However, she said, 'We're going to be together for life, so I'll wait while you go to the military for a year and a half.' Thankfully, she brought up the military topic first."
Ko Woo-rim continued, "Since she is younger, I was concerned that calling her by her name would sound too much like I was talking to a younger sibling. I call her 'self' or 'my dear.' I used to call her 'self,' but after we got married, I switched to 'my dear.' I used to call her 'noona' before we met, but once we started dating, I can't call her 'noona.' If I do, she feels bad."
He went on, "I proposed in a private space because I knew she would feel burdened, so I proposed in the car. However, by the time we were getting married, a lot of time had passed. It felt like too much time had gone by since the proposal, so I proposed again. My wife was at a gathering where they share like, a women's club, and I surprised her with a proposal there."
