[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Min Jun-young] Actress Kim Soo-mi gave marriage advice to Kim Jong-kook.


On the 7th, SBS entertainment program 'My Ugly Duckling' aired an episode where Kim Soo-mi appeared and visited Kim Jong-kook's house.


While having a conversation on the theme of happiness, Kim Soo-mi asked Kim Jong-kook, "Jong-kook, you haven't gotten married yet, so you don't know other kinds of happiness, do you?"


To this, Kim Jong-kook replied, "I'm so happy right now that I'm going crazy."


Then Kim Soo-mi said, "Since you're so happy now, don't get married. If you get married and become unhappy, won't this happiness be broken?"


She added, "Don't listen to people who have divorced. They try to rationalize their divorce when they talk," and continued, "They seem like they have no problems, but they divorced because of themselves. They say these things because they still have affection; if they didn't, they wouldn't say anything."


She also said, "If you've been married for nearly 50 years, there's nothing to say," and added, "If we talk, I get angry within five minutes. So I don't talk to my husband. My husband isn't a bad person, he just doesn't match with me."


However, she said, "The real reason to get married is that after you turn seventy, someone will get sick. Aging is really serious," and added, "If you live alone, there will be many cases of lonely death," and "It's good to have someone who takes care of you when you sit at the table. My son also got married at forty-five and has children."



Then Kim Jong-kook said, "I've thought about whether I should get married too. But I don't think it's right to force marriage by matching conditions," and said, "You have to meet someone you really like, don't you?"
