Hyomin on why she married a husband 10 years older: 'I didn't want to give him to someone else'

T-ARA member Hyomin (37, real name Park Sun-young) revealed the reason she decided to marry her husband.

On the 15th, a video featuring Go So-young and Hyomin having a conversation was released on Go So-young's YouTube channel.

In the video, Hyomin shared how she first met her husband and the process leading up to their decision to marry.

Go So-young said, "Hyomin has always seemed like a baby to me, so I was surprised when she announced she was getting married," and asked about Hyomin's wedding.

Hyomin revealed that she first met her husband at an event celebrating a friend's birthday. Her husband arrived late for the appointment and happened to sit in the empty seat next to Hyomin.

Hyomin recalled, "He said, 'I'm sorry I'm late,' and his voice sounded nice. I couldn't see him clearly, but just a quick glance was enough (he seemed fine)," adding that they naturally started talking.

She then mentioned, "I thought he was five years older than me, but he turned out to be even older," before revealing, "He's 10 years older." Go So-young expressed surprise, saying, "You take such good care of yourself."

Her husband changed Hyomin's mind, as she had not previously considered marriage.

Hyomin reminisced, "The word 'marriage' never existed for me," and added, "After meeting my older brother (oppa), that kind of talk naturally started coming up." She continued, "Around six months into our relationship, I thought, 'Marriage might come up soon. What should I do?' Then I said, 'I'll do it because I don't want to be the one proposing,' and laughed."

Hyomin married a financial professional 10 years her senior last October. Her husband is reported to have graduated from Seoul National University's Industrial Engineering Department and currently serves as an Executive Vice President at the Korean office of a global private equity fund (PEF).
