[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Park Hee-eun] Miss Korea alumna Kang Joo-eun and actor Choi Min-soo confessed their feelings for each other.

On the 15th, the TV Chosun program 'My Way' featured the Kang Joo-eun?Choi Min-soo couple, who have been married since 1994 and have two sons.

During the broadcast, Kang Joo-eun recalled the time when her husband Choi Min-soo lived in seclusion. She said, "At that time, I decided not to nag at all. I was so worried about him that I kept my feelings bottled up inside," adding, "I think I needed time to stand on my own without my husband and time to understand him."

Choi Min-soo expressed his apologies to Kang Joo-eun. He explained, "From the time we got married, I actively encouraged my wife's social activities. However, she devoted herself entirely to childbirth and childcare for 10 years," and said, "I think that was a great sacrifice and courage."

He continued, "I feel sorry as if it were my fault in some ways," and said, "Actually, my wife has more acting talent than I do. I think it would be great if she engaged in broadcasting activities."

In response, Kang Joo-eun expressed her gratitude toward Choi Min-soo. She said, "I went on a housekeeping strike for two years. I didn’t prepare meals on time and went out. My husband rather said, 'Joo-eun, do whatever you want. I’ll take care of the rest. I’ll wait for you.' That continued for 10 years. I was very thankful."
