Baek Ji Young: My husband Jung Seokwon's looks can be frustrating

Singer Baek Ji Young revealed the realistic details of her married life with her husband, actor Jung Seokwon, who is nine years younger, sharing her honest thoughts on marital arguments and reconciliation. While acknowledging her husband's handsome appearance, she brought laughter to the audience by stating, "It's not like my anger disappears just because he's handsome," adding that "sometimes it actually makes me even more frustrated."

On the 15th, Baek Ji Young and Jung Seokwon shared dating and marriage concerns sent in by viewers during a YouTube live broadcast. When asked how they resolve marital conflicts, the two answered candidly based on their own experiences.

When a question regarding marital fights arose, Baek Ji Young replied without hesitation, "We do fight."

Jung Seokwon also responded, "We talk," explaining that they tend to resolve conflicts through conversation.

Baek Ji Young said, "We fight, talk about what made us feel bad, and have a conversation. And we don't have much to fight about."

When Jung Seokwon remarked, "It's because we've already fought so much," Baek Ji Young agreed. However, when Jung Seokwon immediately asked back, "When did we fight?", Baek Ji Young retorted, "We fought just a little while ago."

As Jung Seokwon belatedly recalled the memory and conceded, "Ah, right. You're right," the realistic couple's dialogue drew laughter.

The two revealed that through their long marriage, they have naturally come to know what the other person dislikes.

Baek Ji Young said, "Now we know what the other person dislikes. I know what he dislikes, and he knows what I dislike."

Jung Seokwon also reflected that marital fights were not necessarily a negative thing. He explained that through the process of experiencing and resolving conflicts, their understanding of each other deepened, saying, "That's how we truly got to know each other through fighting. We became stronger."

The conversation also turned to the husband's appearance.

When a viewer asked, "Does your anger melt away when you look at your husband's face?", Baek Ji Young admitted, "That's right. He is handsome," acknowledging Jung Seokwon's looks.

However, his handsome appearance did not serve as a kind of 'pardon' during their arguments. Baek Ji Young caused laughter by saying, "It's not like I don't get angry just because he's handsome," adding, "To be honest, there are cases where it actually makes me more frustrated."

The two agreed that unconditionally avoiding conflict is not the way to preserve a relationship.

Baek Ji Young emphasized the need for the "skill of fighting well and reconciling well," stating, "Avoiding fights just because you're afraid of breaking up isn't the only way." She continued, "We should move toward fighting in order to like each other more."

She then playfully suggested to Jung Seokwon, "Want to fight once?", to which Jung Seokwon replied, "We have no reason to fight right now," showing the natural chemistry of a long-married couple.

Baek Ji Young and Jung Seokwon married in 2013 and have one daughter. Through this broadcast, the couple resonated with viewers by sharing a realistic view of marriage, seeing marital conflict not as an end point, but as a process of understanding one another.
