[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Park Hee-eun] Paeng Hyun-sook revealed her thoughts on life and marriage.

On the 19th, JTBC's 'Banggu-seok 1-yeol' aired, featuring two films depicting the realities of marriage: 'Marriage Story' and '45 Years'.

On this episode, comedian couple Choi Yang-rak and Paeng Hyun-sook appeared as guests. 'Marriage Story' tells the story of Nicole, who gives up her dreams while supporting Charlie, who succeeds as a director.

Paeng Hyun-sook empathized with the film's content and explained how her life has changed compared to the early days of her marriage. She recalled, "When Choi Yang-rak was at his peak after getting married, winning many awards, I couldn't do anything. I was truly just supporting him. I ironed everything from his socks to his underwear and dressed him."

She continued, "Choi Yang-rak likes drinking and enjoying life. I worked like an ant. At some point, Choi Yang-rak fell behind, and I moved up. Now, when I go to sell Sundaeguk on home shopping, I am the main, and Choi Yang-rak follows as the assistant," she explained.

She added, "Life is a marathon. What matters is who runs until the end."

Also, on this day, Paeng Hyun-sook shared an episode about the couple overcoming divorce. When asked if she ever thought about divorce, she recalled, "This man lied to me and went to a karaoke room with the neighborhood ladies. At that time, I cried and said let's get a divorce."

When the cast asked, "Why did you go to the karaoke room?" Choi Yang-rak explained, "There were four men at that time. It was a gathering of friends. I went because a friend invited me."

Paeng Hyun-sook said, "At that time, he said, 'As a couple, we will go through all sorts of things, but let's never bring up the word 'divorce' until we die. I will do well.' That touched my heart."

She confessed, "Since then, I have never used the word divorce."
