• Netflix film 'Husbands' interview with Kim Ji-seok

Actor Kim Ji-seok expressed his affection for Lee Ju-myung.

On the 23rd, Kim Ji-seok held an interview for the Netflix film 'Husbands' (directed by Park Kyu-tae) at a café in Samcheong-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul, sharing various stories.

'Husbands' is a comedy-action film depicting an unpredictable rescue mission in which a former husband and current husband unexpectedly join forces to save the wife kidnapped by a criminal organization. Kim Ji-seok plays Do-jun, the leader of a new drug organization called 'Black Suga' in the film, acting as a villain while collaborating with the husbands.

Kim Ji-seok acknowledged his romantic relationship with actress Lee Ju-myung in August 2024. The two are a 'same-zodiac couple' and at the time announced, "The two are continuing a good relationship. Please watch over them with warm eyes."

During the interview that day, Kim Ji-seok also revealed his affection for his partner Lee Ju-myung. Playing the 'wife fool' who listens well to his wife Hye-ran (played by Lee Da-hee) in the film, Kim said, "That's actually true. In the past, when dating, I would insist on my own position and try to make others understand and explain myself. But as I've gotten older, I seem to try to adapt to the other person and find happiness and joy in that. The way Ma Do-jun and Hye-ran love each other in the film feels a bit closer to me now."

Regarding his public relationship with Lee Ju-myung, Kim stated, "I'm quick to speak up when asked about our relationship. I even asked for edits on variety shows, but they still aired. I'm always cautious. I think there are pros and cons to public dating. When working, I feel a bit more cautious than before as my main job, and I worry that it might cause harm to each other."

Kim added, "But personally, as a man and a woman, I feel a bit more at ease. It's mentally more comfortable when going out to eat or walking around. However, since articles have been published and it's been discussed on variety shows, many people still don't know (about our relationship). That's actually fortunate. I hope those who don't know continue not to know. Sometimes I worry and get concerned about being labeled by someone else's descriptor, whether it's for them or for me. I hope we are evaluated and remembered only as actors and shine as such."
