Actor Kim Kang-woo and soccer player Ki Sung-yueng appeared together on the tvN variety show ″You Quiz on the Block″ and shared various stories related to family and marriage. On the show, Kim Kang-woo revealed that appearing alongside Ki Sung-yueng was an unexpected combination, and Ki Sung-yueng also mentioned that he laughed a lot with his wife. The two explained that they usually call each other by nicknames such as ″Player Ki,″ ″Mr. Ki,″ and ″Hyungnim″ (older brother), and despite an 11-year age difference, they get along naturally. Ki Sung-yueng added that he was not awkward living with older brothers and calls his sister-in-law Han Hye-jin ″noona″ (older sister). Kim Kang-woo said he was surprised when he first heard about Han Hye-jin and Ki Sung-yueng’s marriage and that he was worried for various reasons, including the age difference. He honestly confessed that he was initially opposed to the marriage. In response, Ki Sung-yueng recalled meeting Han Hye-jin’s family for the first time when the whole family was gathered, and there were many concerns about the couple being eight years apart and the relationship between an athlete and an entertainer. To ease the family’s worries, Ki Sung-yueng firmly told his mother-in-law, ″I will take responsibility for your daughter.″ He explained that he was 25 years old at the time and got married after dating for six months. Kim Kang-woo married Han Hye-jin’s older sister Han Moo-young in 2010 and has two sons, while Ki Sung-yueng married Han Hye-jin in 2013 and has a daughter. Kim Kang-woo has been making kimchi with his in-laws for 22 years and shared an anecdote about having to hold a signing event with Han Hye-jin and Ki Sung-yueng after a family dinner. On that day’s broadcast, Kim Kang-woo donated his quiz prize of 1 million won to the Korea Childhood Leukemia Foundation and left a video letter expressing gratitude and commitment to his wife. Meanwhile, Kim Kang-woo is preparing to return as Kim Chun-chu in KBS 2TV’s new historical drama ″Munmu″ and also shared his aspirations for his YouTube channel.
