Actress Choi Jung-won shares details of her 25-year conflict-free marriage

During the upcoming broadcast of 'Perfect Life' on the 11th, actress Choi Jung-won will reveal how she has maintained a 25-year marriage without ever raising her voice in an argument. The former child actress, who debuted in the 1982 MBC drama 'Tiger Teacher', also shared how she expresses daily affection through kisses.

Actress Choi Jung-won is set to reveal a daily life that rivals that of newlyweds, even after 25 years of marriage. Interest is mounting in her unique marital life as she confesses that she not only shares daily kisses with her husband but has also never once raised her voice in an argument during their 25 years together.

On the TV CHOSUN program 'Perfect Life', which airs at 8:00 PM on the 11th, Choi Jung-won's affectionate daily life with her husband and the unique circumstances of her debut as an actress will be revealed. During the broadcast, Choi is expected to surprise the cast by naturally expressing affection during an ordinary day with her husband.

After finishing a breakfast prepared by her husband, Choi expressed her gratitude by kissing him on the cheek. Following her warm greeting, "Thank you so much today," the kiss triggered unexpected reactions in the studio. Choi, appearing nonchalant, questioned the intense reactions of the cast, asking, "Did I do something wrong?"

For Choi Jung-won, expressing affection is not a special event but a part of daily life. She revealed that her husband always says "Good night" and kisses her on the forehead or cheek before they go to sleep. As her display of natural affection—which can easily fade as a marriage grows longer—was revealed, comedian Lee Seong-mi reacted with mock distress, saying, "It feels as stifling as indigestion," drawing laughter.

Even more surprising was the couple's method of resolving conflict. Choi confessed that she has never once had a heated argument with her husband in her 25 years of marriage. "I believe my husband is much wiser than I am. So, I end up agreeing that he is right, and there is no reason to fight," she said, showing deep trust in him. She explained that respecting and accepting her partner's judgment, even in situations where conflict could arise, is the secret to maintaining their long-term relationship.

Upon hearing this, actor Shin Seung-hwan marveled, saying, "They are an ideal couple that could come out of a book." The sight of Choi Jung-won and her husband maintaining affection and trust despite their long marriage left a special impression on the cast. From daily kisses to a conflict-free relationship, Choi's marriage is expected to show another side of a long-term couple.

The broadcast will also reveal behind-the-scenes details of her 45-year career as an actress. Her debut as an actor did not stem from grand dreams or plans. Rather, she took an audition out of curiosity, thinking that if she visited a broadcasting station, she might be able to meet the people she saw on TV, and unexpectedly passed, beginning her path as a child actress.

Choi Jung-won debuted through the 1982 MBC drama 'Tiger Teacher'. Although she later failed the MBC open recruitment exam, she continued her professional acting career after passing the 14th KBS open recruitment talent exam. Her contemporaries at the time included Lee Byung-hun, Son Hyun-joo, and Kim Jung-nan. Hearing this, Shin Seung-hwan could not hide his surprise, calling them "truly a golden class."
