Actor Ahn Jae-wook revealed his love story with his wife, musical actress Choi Hyun-ju.
On the 15th, actor Ahn Jae-wook appeared as a guest on tvN Story's variety program 'What to do with leftovers'.
That day, Lee Young-ja said, "I felt so good watching a show after having a child," adding, "I was afraid that such a life might come to Jae-wook," and "I worried whether there would be a life for Ahn Jae-wook as a father and husband."
Ahn Jae-wook underwent emergency surgery in 2013 due to a subdural hemorrhage. He recalled, "I couldn't recognize the symptoms. I found out after collapsing. My blood vessel burst." He added, "They said my neck snapped and I went limp. They said I sweated profusely and my whole body turned pale."
He continued, "I received emergency treatment and was told to go to a large hospital. At first, I didn't want to talk about it. I was unmarried then, so I asked my manager to pretend to be my father, but the manager said, 'If something unexpected happens, how would you face your mother and father?' That's why I ended up talking about it."
He stated, "Several years have passed since then. I met my wife, got married, and had a child. It feels like I was given a life with someone else to meet. I am extremely fortunate." He then added, "In the U.S., they save your life first and then bill you. But the units are too different. At that time, the cost was $500,000. That's 500 million won. It wasn't a joke; I almost collapsed again. After over two years of negotiations, we reached a settlement of around 100 million won."
