Former soccer player Kim Young-kwang revealed his daily life with his wife on a broadcast program. On the 22nd, the story of Kim Young-kwang and his wife Kim Eun-ji aired on SBS entertainment program "Same Bed, Different Dreams 2 - You Are My Destiny." Kim Eun-ji works as a dermatologist at a hospital located in Apgujeong-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul.
Kim Young-kwang expressed affection for his wife, saying, "She is intelligent and beautiful. She resembles Sandara Park and Ye-won." He recalled their first meeting, saying, "When I was with the Ulsan Hyundai team, I joined a meal with acquaintances. I saw her there and fell in love at first sight. I proposed within 24 hours." Kim Young-kwang added, "People might think it's strange. Even now, I wonder why I did that, but I just knew 'she's the one.'"
Regarding their marriage process, Kim Young-kwang said, "The next day, I invited her to the All-Star game. I beat all the seniors and won the popularity award. I received the award before the first half started, but my wife came after the first half ended. I couldn't even appeal to her." He emphasized that their connection was destined, saying, "My wife said she had to go to her grandmother's house for her grandmother's birthday, so I took her there, and that's how our relationship continued."
Kim Young-kwang's daily life was also revealed. He explained why his wife sleeps in the dressing room instead of the master bedroom when she is tired. "My wife sleeps while exhausted. To avoid waking her up, I go to the dressing room to sleep," he said. Seo Jang-hoon added, "It seems like the current situation requires taking good care of the wife." Kim Young-kwang said, "Our daughters are going through middle school rebellion and puberty. Since my wife plays the mother role the most, I take on the househusband role."
Kim Young-kwang also mentioned his spending habits. His wife complained, "When Kim Young-kwang buys something, if three are cheaper than one, he buys three, and if ten are cheaper, he buys ten." Kim Young-kwang said, "I have changed cars 31 times. When I earned well, I changed to the newest phone every time it came out." His wife sighed, "If you add up all the phone cases he bought, it would be more than enough to change phones."
Kim Young-kwang and Kim Eun-ji have been married for 16 years and have two daughters. They built trust through a long-distance relationship. Kim Young-kwang recalled, "Before the KTX existed, I drove 44,000 kilometers in a year." Actress Lim Soo-hyang, an acquaintance of Kim Eun-ji, said, "Kim Young-kwang hyungbu was anxious and went all the way to Seoul to see Eun-ji after the Ulsan game."
Kim Young-kwang was preparing a sleeping place in the dressing room of the house where he lives with his wife. On the broadcast that day, Kim Young-kwang explained his choice, saying, "The dressing room is very cozy." The MCs could not hide their surprise, asking, "You really sleep in the dressing room?" Kim Young-kwang added, "If my wife falls asleep tired, I go to the dressing room so I don't wake her."
Kim Young-kwang expressed a sense of responsibility to take good care of his wife even after retirement. He said, "The dressing room spot is as comfortable as a coffin. Maybe because I have only been retired for two years, I find enclosed spaces comfortable?" which brought laughter.
The broadcast focused on the daily life and love story of Kim Young-kwang and Kim Eun-ji couple and airs every Monday at 10:10 PM.
