Shim Hyun-seop, who married at 54, confesses about newlywed life: "My wife manages money strictly... the house is also under her name."

Shim Hyun-seop revealed various episodes of his newlywed life with his wife Jung Young-rim, who is 11 years younger. On MBN’s ″Sokpuri Show Dongchimi,″ he talked about the difficulties he faced after marrying late and his wife’s thorough asset management. On the show, Shim Hyun-seop expressed the hardships of newlywed life, saying, ″If I were born again, I would marry in my mid-40s. I have no energy.″ He also shared an experience of fainting after overexerting himself while trying to conceive naturally, separate from in vitro fertilization. He said, ″There was a time I tried eight times from afternoon to evening. It was from 2 p.m. to 1 a.m., and I only opened my eyes at 2 p.m. the next day.″ The hospital director in charge was surprised and said, ″We told you to do it twice a day for three days around ovulation, not eight times at once.″ Shim Hyun-seop also spoke about his wife’s housekeeping skills and asset management. He said, ″On the first night 1 year and 3 months ago, I was so tired that I passed out, and when I opened my eyes, it was 11 o’clock. My wife was counting money with her eyes red.″ He added, ″When I woke up at 9 a.m., she was already at the bank. Even though we are a married couple, since we are strangers at first, you can’t fully trust each other, but women are amazing.″ He also said, ″My mother-in-law told her to only receive living expenses since she has been in the entertainment industry for over 30 years, but my wife doesn’t listen.″ He revealed, ″The house is also in my wife’s name. We did that right after getting married. I have a residence but no ownership.″ He added, ″I think I have an obsession with money since I was young, so it might be my fate. A passing monk once said, ’It’s overflowing in a good way.’ Since there is an 11-year age difference, I think I have a sense of responsibility.″ Shim Hyun-seop met Jung Young-rim on TV Chosun’s ″Joseon’s Lover,″ dated for a year, and got married last April at the age of 54. Meanwhile, MBN’s ″Sokpuri Show Dongchimi″ airs every Saturday night at 11 p.m.
