Oksang Dalbit's Kim Yoon-ju: "Kwon Jeong yeol gifts me sunflowers every year"

Kim Yoon-ju of the duo Oksang Dalbit shared glimpses of her daily life with her husband, 10cm's Kwon Jeong yeol, revealing a marital relationship built on deep trust and respect even in their 12th year of marriage. Kwon's consistent habit of gifting handwritten letters and sunflowers every wedding anniversary serves as a reminder that steady consideration, rather than flashy events, is the strength that sustains a relationship.

On the 18th, a video titled "Oksang Dalbit Unnies' Realistic Advice ft. Mini Concert" was released on the YouTube channel 'Yoonjure'.

During the broadcast, model and entertainer Jang Yoon-ju and Kim Yoon-ju had a candid conversation about marriage, marital relationships, and life values.

Jang mentioned, "I am in my 11th year of marriage and my daughter is ten years old," before cautiously asking, "Kim Yoon-ju is in her 12th year of marriage but has no children. Do you still love each other?"

To this, Kim nodded without hesitation, expressing her unchanging affection for her husband, Kwon.

She stated, "My husband is truly a person without flaws. I only see his good points," adding, "There is so much to learn from him."

She continued, "His attitude toward people is great, and he takes very good care of those around him. I truly respect how he shows consideration naturally without making a big deal out of it."

Kwon's consistent expressions of love were also highlighted.

Kim said, "Every wedding anniversary, he always gifts me a handwritten letter along with sunflowers. He prepares the sunflowers from dawn and goes shopping for them."

The small sincerity and handwritten letters repeated on special days symbolically demonstrate the unchanging affection of the couple throughout their long marriage.

She also shared honest thoughts regarding their views on finances.

"My husband hardly spends money on himself. He tends not to be interested in himself," Kim said. "Since I know very well how hard my husband works to earn that money, I cannot spend it easily."

She added, "Just him saying he will buy me something makes me so grateful," conveying her thought that heart and consideration for one another are more important than material value.

The two have been frequently mentioned as a representative "lovebird couple" in the entertainment industry since they married in 2014.

Even now, in their 12th year of marriage, as they continue their musical activities, their way of respecting each other's creative work and maintaining independent lives while sustaining their relationship through small daily considerations is gaining empathy from many.

This interview also drew attention for naturally discussing the family form of a "childless couple."

In recent sociology, there is an expanding view that understands families based on trust, care, and mutual respect among members rather than defining them by the presence or absence of children. As various family forms become commonplace, the perception that the lifestyle a couple chooses should be respected as a choice based on individual values and life planning is also spreading.

In psychology, repeated daily expressions of affection, gratitude, and mutual respect are cited as key elements for maintaining long-term marital relationships rather than grand events. Kwon's habit of preparing handwritten letters and sunflowers every wedding anniversary can be interpreted as a representative example of this way of maintaining a relationship.

American psychologist John Gottman explained that the longer a couple has been married, the more they consistently practice small interests and minor kindnesses rather than special moments. The image of Kwon shared by Kim also shows that consistent consideration and sincere love, rather than flashy events, are the forces that sustain a relationship.

Kim and Kwon have not lost their respect and trust for each other throughout their 12 years of marriage. A single handwritten letter and a sunflower given every year serve as a symbol proving their unchanging love and leave a lingering warmth for many as the most tender language for sustaining a long-term relationship.
