Italian broadcaster Christina spoke about her experience living with her in-laws in Korea.
Appearing on the YouTube program "New Woman" released on the 22nd, Christina said, "My husband coaxed me to live with his mother when we got married. I thought of it as a new experience and started out that way."
Christina added, "Thanks to my mother-in-law, I was able to practice Korean and adapt well to Korean society. However, during the early days of our marriage, there were difficulties in those warm, loving moments."
Christina also shared an anecdote about cultural differences she experienced in Korea. She said, "Since we are both women and live together, I once entered the kitchen wearing only my underwear after showering. My mother-in-law was surprised. So I told her, 'Mother, you should also walk around without clothes.'"
The two continue to maintain a unique mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship by appearing on TV together and participating in volunteer activities and events as an Italian daughter-in-law and Korean mother-in-law.
When asked about how she gets along with her mother-in-law, Christina said, "Every time I go to Italy, I buy her a luxury handbag. If I don't visit Italy for a while, she asks first, 'Aren't you going to Italy?' This brought laughter."
Christina's husband, opera singer Kim Hyun-joon, who appeared alongside her on "New Woman," said, "Both my mother and wife have strong personalities. I try not to interfere too much between them," sharing his own way of maintaining family harmony.
Their love story was also revealed. They first met when Kim Hyun-joon was studying in Italy as a student of an Italian language teacher, which eventually led to their marriage. They also shared the process of falling in love in Italy and getting married in Korea. Kim Hyun-joon said, "Even if I could go back to my study abroad days, I think I would still date Christina."
Meanwhile, Christina and Kim Hyun-joon got married in 2007 and have been living together in Korea for the past 20 years.
