Broadcaster Yoon Jung-soo shared a love story amid his marriage announcement.
Yoon Jung-soo revealed his feelings about the upcoming wedding during the broadcast of KBS Cool FM’s "Yoon Jung-soo and Nam Chang-hee's Mister Radio" on the 8th.
According to a report by a media outlet that day, Yoon Jung-soo is in a relationship with a girlfriend who is 12 years younger than him, with plans to marry. His fiancée is a beautiful Pilates instructor born in 1984, and they have known each other as acquaintances for 6 to 7 years, developing into a couple since earlier this year.
Yoon Jung-soo said, "Many of you may have seen the articles, but I have a person I am meeting based on the families’ conditions regarding marriage. It has not been long since I made this decision. I have met the elders and just received permission from the person who will become my bride and shares the same thoughts as I do. So, if you all bless us, I would like to get married if conditions allow this year. It has to be possible for it to happen this year. I sincerely ask the listeners to help us."
Regarding a listener's message that said, 'the Cheongdam-dong ladies' man has succeeded,' Nam Chang-hee corrected him, saying, "It's not Cheongdam-dong. It's Naebang-dong." Yoon Jung-soo remarked, "Love started near Naebang-dong. My partner lives in Gyeonggi Province. There were some eyewitness reports on the bulletin board. I filtered through those. It’s not an announcement of marriage, but I am thinking about marriage, and as long as there are no issues, I think we might get married. Since I am in my 50s, I am grateful to my girlfriend who has given her permission, and the elders also expressed a wish for us to hurry. If we do hurry, I think we might do it by winter. The venue needs to be available, and it can't be too expensive. I will adjust accordingly to make it happen."
In particular, Yoon Jung-soo noted, "We have known each other for 7 to 8 years. We started by asking about each other's well-being and then arranged a meal together. Of course, I had feelings for her. However, that day she wore black clothing, and she looked very pretty. Since then, as we continued to set up dates, we developed into a romantic relationship. The menu at that time was Korean beef, and it was a barbecue restaurant with rooms."
He added, "While telling her that my economic sense was not good, I appreciated how she looked at me. It was uncomfortable, and I had many thoughts. My girlfriend's gesture of saving a thousand won made me wonder, 'Is this how we should live?' and that thought led me to decide to marry her."
Yoon Jung-soo said, "It was oddly touching to receive a congratulatory call from Kim Sook. I thought it might be a call to invite me to participate in 'Same Bed, Different Dreams' since she is involved in it, but it was the first call from a celebrity, so I'm grateful."
Meanwhile, Yoon Jung-soo debuted as a comedian with SBS in 1992. He received much love for appearing in shows like "Great Challenge," "Saturday Night," "Risky Challenge," and "Exclamation Point" and is currently hosting KBS Cool FM's "Yoon Jung-soo and Nam Chang-hee's Mister Radio."
