Actor Kim Dong-wook shared his recent updates after starting a family.
On the 25th, a video titled "Chae Jung-an and Kim Dong-wook [Jjanhan-hyeong EP.146] Preview of Dong-yeop-shin's 60th Birthday Party" was uploaded to the YouTube channel 'Jjanhan-hyeong Shin Dong-yeop'.
Kim Dong-wook revealed that he met his wife Stella Kim's parents just seven months after they began dating. He said, "We were in a long-distance relationship for four months. My wife was in New Jersey, and I was in Korea. We dated for only three months when she came on vacation, and we immediately met the parents and set a date."
Kim Dong-wook added, "We got married at Myeong-dong Cathedral, and it was meaningful since we share the same religion, and both my father-in-law and mother-in-law were also married at Myeong-dong Cathedral." He expressed surprise that his first date with his wife was also at Myeong-dong Cathedral.
Kim Dong-wook, who became a father in February, said about his changed demeanor, "I definitely smile more. Seeing the baby and constantly smiling and speaking softly makes me smile a lot."
Regarding his personal space, he said, "I sometimes take 'bathroom vacations' (화장실 바캉스). When things get tough, I often say, 'I'll just go to the bathroom for a bit.' I sit in the bathroom, check my phone, and watch some YouTube videos," which resonated with everyone.
Meanwhile, Kim Dong-wook married Stella Kim, who is seven years younger, in December 2023. Stella Kim is a Korean-American who was reportedly a trainee at SM Entertainment and part of Girls' Generation's debut lineup.
