Han Go-eun treats husband's diamond gift as "just a stone you can't even eat"

As actor Han Go-eun's husband Shin Yeong-su prepared a gift for their 11th wedding anniversary, he revealed humorous past gift anecdotes. He shared that when he once gifted diamonds, he received a reaction asking, "Why buy stones that you can't even eat," and a luxury earring he carefully selected ended up in the possession of his niece. While struggling to match his wife's tastes, Shin Yeong-su eventually prepared a special gold ring.

In a YouTube video released by Han Go-eun on the 8th, titled "Husband prepares a 7-don gold ring secretly behind Han Go-eun, who said she dislikes diamonds... (Operation Proposal)," Shin Yeong-su worked secretly with the production team to prepare a surprise gift for Han Go-eun on their 11th wedding anniversary. The identity of the gift was a ring made of gold, which is slightly different from typical jewelry.

There was a reason why Shin Yeong-su chose a gold ring. He confessed his past experience of gifting diamonds, saying, "When I bought diamonds, she would say, 'Why buy stones that you can't even eat.'" Contrary to the expectation that anyone would welcome expensive gems, Han Go-eun showed a reaction that prioritized practicality. This was a part that could have been quite embarrassing for a husband preparing a gift.

Since diamonds did not work, Shin Yeong-su chose earrings as his next gift. This time, he carefully selected an item his wife might like, but the result went in another direction. Shin Yeong-su said, "So I bought earrings next. But then, niece Alisha ended up wearing them." The earrings prepared for his wife became a daily accessory for his niece.

An even more surprising fact was the brand of the earrings. Shin Yeong-su drew attention by revealing that the product was an earring from the famous luxury brand T. Even though he gifted expensive luxury jewelry, he failed to capture Han Go-eun's heart. Following the diamonds, receiving unexpected reactions to the luxury earrings as well made figuring out his wife's taste a daunting task for Shin Yeong-su.

Han Go-eun's taste, having majored in fashion and worked as a model and actress, was unexpectedly clear. She preferred the value of gold itself rather than flashy jewelry. Shin Yeong-su revealed that he even considered gifting a gold bar, but felt it would seem too blunt to hand it over as is. Ultimately, he searched even overseas websites to find a place that manufactures gold in the shape of jewelry and specially ordered the creation of the ring.

The amount of gold used in the ring production reached as much as 7 don. Although diamonds and luxury earrings were not the correct answers Han Go-eun wanted, this time he decided to make the gold itself into a special shape to reflect his wife's taste. It added meaning in that it was a gift presented after contemplating what the recipient likes, rather than emphasizing price or brand.

Shin Yeong-su's appearance, worrying about what gift would make his wife happy even in their 11th year of marriage, brought laughter. While the diamonds were treated as stones and the luxury earrings went to the niece, those trials and errors eventually led to the 7-don gold ring. While showing the fact that an expensive gift does not necessarily please the recipient, attention is being drawn to what kind of reaction the husband's sincerity—searching even overseas websites to find out his wife's taste—will elicit.
