Singer Byun Jin-seop shared his love story with his wife.

In an episode of MBN entertainment program 'Kim Ju-ha's Day & Night' aired on the 4th, Byun Jin-seop and Hwang Young-jo appeared as guests.

That day, Byun Jin-seop recalled their first meeting: "If it weren't for Mr. Hwang Young-jo, I wouldn't have met my wife. At that time, I had a friend who was an actor. Since media wasn't as developed back then, we watched everything on tapes. People collected uncensored versions. So I met him to borrow one, but he said our schedules overlapped and we'd have to cancel. The overlapping friend was a synchronized swimmer living in the athlete village, so he could only meet on weekends. I was curious. When I asked if she was pretty, he replied, 'She's my baby.'"

At this, Kim Ju-ha joked that they were born in the same zodiac year, drawing laughter from everyone.

Byun Jin-seop continued: "I suggested we watch it together, and my friend considered me but said it was fine. I invited acquaintances, including Mr. Hwang Young-jo. Since Hwang also saw my wife for the first time and they were both athletes, they exchanged contact information. Back then, it was via pagers. After my wife gave him her pager number and we parted ways, about two days later, as I was passing Olympic Boulevard, my manager suddenly said, 'Remember that synchronized swimmer you met the other day named Joo-young? His pager number just came to mind.'" This surprised everyone.

He added, "At first, I contacted him just for fun, but it turned out to be true. He was happy, so we decided to have a meal together, and that's how our friendship continues to this day."

However, Hwang Young-jo offered a different recollection: "I had no ulterior motives. I wanted to create an opportunity for my older brother to meet her. How could he remember such details? I just passed the information along." This left Byun Jin-seop momentarily flustered.

Byun Jin-seop responded, "My memory has always been correct," and added, "Regardless, Mr. Hwang played a major role in my meeting with my wife," expressing his gratitude.
