[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Jeong-ho] Broadcaster Ji Seok-jin mentioned his wife, who married him at a young age.

On the afternoon of the 19th, SBS's 'My Ugly Duckling' aired scenes showing Kim Jong-kook, Yang Se-chan, Ji Seok-jin, Hwang Je-seong, and others visiting a restaurant run by Tony's mother and discussing marriage stories.

That day, Ji Seok-jin said, "Lately, I feel like I need to treat my wife better. When idols appear on 'Running Man,' I ask how old they are. Usually, they are 27 or 28 years old," adding, "From my perspective, they are very young and pretty, but my wife met me when she was 24 and married me at 26."

Previously, Ji Seok-jin fell in love at first sight with his wife, a former stylist introduced by Yoo Jae-suk, and they tied the knot after two years.

In response to Ji Seok-jin's words, Kim Jong-kook, who was beside him, said, "You have to treat her well," and joked, "Go get a life insurance policy today. Make your wife the beneficiary," which brought laughter to those around.

Additionally, when asked about the age difference with his wife, Ji Seok-jin said, "Eight years," and added, "I get scolded all the time, even though there is an eight-year age gap."

Meanwhile, Ji Seok-jin was born in 1966 and is 55 years old this year. He has a son.
