Actor Choi Soo-jong revealed that he has never used informal speech with his wife Ha Hee-ra or called her by name casually in 33 years of marriage, leaving viewers astonished. Choi also confessed that he has never had a marital fight because he and his wife have no disagreements, showcasing his exceptional devotion as a loving husband.
In Episode 332 of KBS2's "The Problem Kids of the Rooftop Room," broadcast on the 3rd, Choi Soo-jong and Ha Hee-ra, a representative power couple in the entertainment industry known for their harmonious relationship, appeared as guests to discuss their married life.
When the two appeared, the MCs expressed their delight, saying, "You are the icons of a perfect couple" and "You are the representative couple from heaven."
In particular, Joo Woo-jae shared his excitement about meeting Choi Soo-jong in person.
Joo said, "I was surprised to actually meet him," adding, "As soon as he appeared earlier, Yang Se-chan and I said, 'Wow, it's Choi Soo-jong.' He has been a celebrity since we were children."
He then mentioned Choi's affectionate tone of voice, which has remained unchanged even after 33 years of marriage, saying, "He actually calls her 'Ms. Hee-ra.'"
In response, Kim Suk asked, "You still haven't switched to informal speech? When things get urgent, you can't help but say 'Hee-ra' in an informal way, right?" expressing curiosity.
Choi Soo-jong then revealed, "When it is truly urgent, I call her 'honey,'" adding, "I have never once called her by the name 'Hee-ra' informally," which left everyone amazed.
He further stated, "I have never fought out of anger," noting that they have had almost no marital fights.
Hearing this, Kim Jong-kook asked a realistic question: "As you live together, there can be disagreements. Don't moments come when tensions rise?"
Choi Soo-jong replied, "I don't think we have ever had any disagreements."
He explained, "Whenever something happens, I respect Ms. Hee-ra's opinion," revealing that he usually considers his wife's perspective first.
He added, "If it seems like Ms. Hee-ra is right, I leave everything to her," demonstrating his deep trust in Ha Hee-ra.
However, there were moments when the couple felt hurt.
Choi Soo-jong explained, "There can be issues that are not between us two but within the family," noting that they sometimes feel upset over problems external to their marriage.
He revealed, "I can tell when I see her disappointed look," stating that they recognize each other's emotions just by looking at each other's expressions.
He added, "At those times, we go to our respective rooms and keep a distance for a while," explaining that they take time apart before emotions escalate.
Choi Soo-jong introduced their unique way of resolving conflicts, saying, "We recover as if nothing ever happened."
Ha Hee-ra also agreed with her husband's words.
She revealed, "Then we stop talking to each other," explaining that they do not continue conversations while feeling hurt.
She added, "We spend time apart and think about things," explaining that they give each other time to reflect.
However, it was usually Ha Hee-ra who initiated the first step toward reconciliation.
Ha Hee-ra said, "Eventually, I start by saying things like 'What should we eat?' or 'Can you help me a little?'"
She added, "He has never once refused to help," sharing Choi Soo-jong's affectionate side of always responding to her requests.
Ha Hee-ra also added, "In the first place, it is not a serious matter. We have never had significantly different opinions."
Kim Suk, who was listening, laughed out loud while watching Hong Jin-kyung's reaction.
When Kim Suk said, "Jin-kyung already has her mouth open," Hong Jin-kyung responded, "That is impossible," expressing disbelief and turning the studio into a sea of laughter.
