Actor Jang Dong-gun has sparked discussion by publicly expressing his regret toward his wife, Ko So-young.
On the 18th, a video titled "Jang Dong-gun ♥ Ko So-young: The First Couple Talk Show in Broadcasting History" was uploaded to Ko So-young's YouTube channel. It features the sincere and heartfelt moments of Ko So-young and Jang Dong-gun, who held their first couple talk show after 16 years of marriage.
In the video, when asked, "How do you want to grow old with (Ko So-young)?", Jang Dong-gun replied, "I definitely have a vision. When I travel abroad, I often see photos of elderly couples in their 70s or 80s sitting on benches together, enjoying each other's company like friends. I want us to be able to share that kind of joy even as we age."
In contrast, Ko So-young said, "Sometimes I think about this. If we've been raising our children together all these years, after they become independent, I also want to live freely on my own. I find it more fun when I travel with my female friends. Jang Dong-gun does the same." Her words brought laughter from the audience.
Shortly after, Ko So-young added, "Separate yet together — that's what I want. We should acknowledge each other and maintain a balance while living our lives."
When asked about what they are most grateful for in each other, Ko So-young shared, "It's not because of any particular reason, but he has always been my support. Whenever something happens or I feel down, even without me saying anything, he is always by my side as my ally. He feels like a comforting fence around me. I am always grateful for that. Thank you." She expressed her deep affection.
Notably, Jang Dong-gun confessed, "In the early days of our marriage, I was somewhat arrogant. I thought I knew and could do much more than anyone else. But as life went on, I realized that wasn't true. Now, there are many moments that make me feel dizzy." His words drew the attention of netizens.
He continued, "If it weren't for my wife (Ko) So-young, I wonder if I could have built my life as I have today. There's a dizzying thought in that. She is so wise in many ways, and when I see her watching me, I can't help but think, 'How frustrating must she have felt?' That makes me feel sorry."
In response, Ko So-young said about Jang Dong-gun, "He's more of a mood-driven person than I thought. I thought I was the one who was like that. No, he tends to be easily influenced by those around him because he likes people so much. But I think we can balance each other out by keeping our centers steady."
Meanwhile, Jang Dong-gun faced controversy over his private life in 2020 when some of his past private text messages with fellow actor Ju Jin-mo were leaked.
