[Asia Economy Online Issue Team] Broadcaster Kim Won-hee directly addressed the false marriage rumors claiming that she "does not have a husband."


On the 14th, Kim Won-hee uploaded a video titled "From My Neighborhood to My Husband, I Was Thoroughly Investigated Today" on her YouTube channel 'Kim Won-hee TV.'


In the video, Kim Won-hee explained, "Today, I came to spread the word about our nice neighborhood. Starting with a tour of our neighborhood, I was thoroughly investigated about the rumors surrounding my husband. Please watch to see how much will be revealed."


The video began with suspicions raised by Kim Won-hee's close friend Sung Dae-hyun. Sung appeared on a past variety show and said, "It seems like Kim Won-hee has a sham marriage. I've been meeting Kim Won-hee every week for over seven years. She got married around the same time as me, but I've never seen her husband. I would like to see him," leaving doubts.


As curiosity about her husband's identity grew, Kim Won-hee, who lives in a detached house neighborhood in Ilsan, appeared herself to introduce the neighborhood and clarify rumors related to her husband.

Kim Won-hee said, "I'm from Seoul, but my older sister got married and moved here. That's how I started living in Ilsan," adding, "My parents and siblings also live nearby. I got married and have lived in this neighborhood for 17 years. I do have a husband."


One of her acquaintances said, "My brother-in-law is my type. I was surprised as soon as I saw him because he fits my style. He is handsome," and added, "Kim Won-hee's husband even gives foot massages using oil," sharing an eyewitness account.


Kim Won-hee also conducted interviews with neighborhood residents to confirm her husband's existence. When she asked a resident, "There are rumors that I live alone without a husband because I don't reveal him. Please just tell me if he exists or not," the resident replied, "I see him often. From what I see, he seems very kind. I've never heard them fight even once."


In response, Kim Won-hee said, "So you do have a husband? It's confirmed that you have a husband, right?" and clarified the sham marriage rumors with subtitles stating, "Kim Won-hee has a husband; she just does not want to reveal him, but it is certain."



Meanwhile, Kim Won-hee married photographer Son Hyuk-chan, who is two years older than her, in 2005.
