Kim Ji-seok ♥ Lee Joo-myung, love confirmed at lightning speed → talk of marriage?… Father "I was introduced to my girlfriend directly."

It has been revealed that following their public relationship, actor Kim Ji-seok and Lee Joo-myung have actually discussed marriage, indicating that their relationship has entered a more serious phase.

Recently, in a preview video of MBN's 'Sokpul Show Dongchimi', Kim Ji-seok's father opened up about his feelings regarding his son's dating and marriage. He noted, "I understood when my second son did not marry until he was 35. However, now that he is nearing 40, I find myself worrying about grandchildren," confessing that he has felt regret for his son delaying marriage.

In particular, his father said, "I told him to bring his girlfriend home if he had one. I promised to coach him," revealing for the first time that Kim Ji-seok actually brought his girlfriend home to introduce her.

His girlfriend is none other than 12 years younger actress Lee Joo-myung. Kim Ji-seok was born in 1981, while Lee Joo-myung was born in 1993; the two overcame their age difference and became closer through their shared profession of acting, officially confirming their public relationship last December. On the day the dating rumors arose, they quickly acknowledged it by saying, "That’s right," becoming an official couple, and they have continued to enjoy dates, maintaining a warm atmosphere.

Kim Ji-seok's father stated about the meeting at that time, "It was a strange and reassuring experience. I wanted to treat her well." He continued, "When we took a personality test on the day we met, I felt a generational gap due to the 12-year difference," but added, "As she is just starting her career as an actress, I was careful not to block her future over my son's prospects." This family reaction serves as evidence that their relationship is serious enough to consider marriage.

Both the agencies also requested warm sentiments, stating during their public relationship, "The two are continuing a good relationship," and Kim Ji-seok and Lee Joo-myung have since established themselves as a representative official couple in the entertainment industry, continually supporting each other’s acting activities.

Meanwhile, Kim Ji-seok's father shared on the show regarding his son's marriage, "Anyone who is loved is fine," revealing a story of being surprised by a past question, "Can I bring a Black man?" He also disclosed that Kim Ji-seok felt great stress about the talk of marriage. However, he noted that after meeting Lee Joo-myung, his son's attitude has changed, stating, "Now I feel at ease," showing that they are indeed maintaining a sincere relationship.

After confirming their love at lightning speed and Kim Ji-seok personally introducing his girlfriend to his parents, discussions of marriage are flowing naturally, and expectations are growing that the day they ring the wedding bells in "swift order" is not far off.
