Actress Kim Ga-yeon revealed her love story with her husband, Lim Yo-hwan, who is eight years younger than her, from their first meeting to marriage.
On the 20th, YouTube channel 'Mipjian-eun Gwajang Unni' released a video titled "Strongest Young Face at 55, Kim Ga-yeon! First Reveal of How She Captured 8-Year-Younger Lim Yo-hwan (Assets Worth 60 Billion Won)."
That day, Kim Ga-yeon explained how she first met Lim Yo-hwan. She said she was invited to a friendly StarCraft match featuring both celebrities and professional gamers, and that she met Lim Yo-hwan for the first time at a post-match gathering.
The two continued their relationship and developed into a romantic couple by the end of 2008. Before holding their wedding ceremony, Kim Ga-yeon also candidly shared why they registered their marriage first.
Kim Ga-yeon stated, "Since I am eight years older than him, I started wanting to have children," and explained, "In vitro fertilization can only be done by married couples, so we registered our marriage first."
Lim Yo-hwan also revealed the reason he decided to marry Kim Ga-yeon. He said, "After dating and living together, I realized she was someone who filled my shortcomings."
He added, "I didn't have a mother figure, but after experiencing it, I found it comforting," conveying that he came to rely on Kim Ga-yeon for the parts of himself that were lacking.
The topic of Lim Yo-hwan's prize money after transitioning from professional gamer to poker player also emerged. When Lee Ji-hye mentioned the scale of poker tournament prizes, Kim Ga-yeon said, "It can reach 20 billion won."
In response, Lim Yo-hwan noted, "Of course, when receiving large prizes, that is possible," but explained, "Entry fees vary widely. Just because you win a prize doesn't mean it's all pure profit."
Kim Ga-yeon stated that she does not get heavily involved in her husband's prize money. She said, "I have never seen my husband's prize money. All I have is the trophy," and revealed that the prize money continues to be used as a 'bankroll' for participating in poker tournaments and other activities.
Lim Yo-hwan also added, "The prizes I've won haven't been that large," and noted, "If I win a truly huge amount, my wife will find out even if she doesn't want to."
