Actress Ko So Young revealed that after 16 years of marriage, she has come to see her husband Jang Dong Gun's unwavering consideration and kindness in a new light. Reflecting on the efforts of her partner that she had overlooked due to the familiarity of their long-standing marriage, she expressed her sincere gratitude.
On the 7th, through a video titled 'You're Losing Out If You Don't Know! Ko So Young's Must-Buy Recommended Items When Visiting Japan' released on her YouTube channel, Ko mentioned the meticulous care shown by Jang during their travels and daily life.
During the video, Ko shared an anecdote about checking the weather while preparing for a trip, saying, "Thinking about it now, I think I was in the wrong." She reflected on her habit, stating, "Even though it's something I could find out immediately by searching, I always ask my husband, 'Honey, how is the weather?'"
She continued candidly, "There are times when the clothes don't match the weather wherever we go, and I think I used to get angry for no reason. It was something I could have just looked up myself."
However, Ko shared that even when she repeatedly asks for help, Jang responds consistently. She said, "Even so, if I ask again, he searches and finds out for me just the same. Even if I ask what the restaurants are like or where is good, he always looks it up and lets me know."
In particular, Ko stated that she discovered new aspects of her husband while rewatching her recently released Hawaii travel vlog. She remarked, "Watching the vlog, I felt it anew. My husband is truly sweet."
She added, "Perhaps because we have lived that way our whole lives, I thought it was only natural," expressing that she realized the consideration she had naturally accepted throughout her long marriage was actually a special expression of love.
Actors Ko So Young and Jang Dong Gun married in 2010 and have established themselves as a representative star couple in the entertainment industry. Since their marriage, the two have maintained a stable relationship centered on family and daily life, drawing significant public interest.
Ko's confession draws attention to the value of an ordinary yet lasting relationship that exists behind the glamorous image of a star couple. The process of rediscovering a partner's consideration in a long-term relationship shows that the essence of a marriage lies in small, repeated acts of interest and respect every day, rather than in grand events.
