In the video, Shindong and Kim Heechul shared that they used to fight a lot with fellow members. Kim Heechul said, "I'm really close with Leeteuk now, but back then, things were difficult between us for a long time. He's the type of person who keeps things inside, while I'm the type to say things right away."

He especially drew attention by saying, "If someone takes too long to reply to my message or something like that, I easily delete their contact." Hong Jinkyung laughed and said, "Then if you date someone and she plays hard to get, they'd be out immediately?" to which he replied, "I delete her number right away."

He continued, "When I was younger, if my girlfriend said, 'Oppa, let's break up,' then we broke up right away. But now, I just wish someone would like me. Please, someone like me," causing everyone to laugh.

Han Goeun's husband, unemployed for 7 years ... "It doesn't hurt my pride. My wife tells me to practice golf more"

On the afternoon of the 19th, a video titled 'Han Goeun and her husband's latest update: Grilling meat and drinking in their 50-pyeong Cheongdam-dong living room' was posted on the Youtube channel 'Goeun Unnie Han Goeun.'

Han Goeun wanted to have a quick drink with her husband after work, and her husband, who is four years younger, personally made tofu kimchi for his wife who worked hard all day. While preparing the dish in the kitchen, he showed off his skillful cooking, saying, "I make this so often that I can tell the right amount just by looking."

Previously, a famous face reader described Han Goeun and her husband's relationship as 'the Lady and the Servant,' a comment that could potentially hurt a husband's pride. Han Goeun and Shin Youngsoo got married in 2015. Her husband used to work as a home shopping MD, but later quit to take care of his ill father. Last year, he revealed that he has been unemployed for seven years.

Shin Youngsoo said, "The 'the Lady and the Servant' description is exactly right." When the production team asked, "Wouldn't that hurt your pride?", he replied, "Not at all. Not even a bit. Now it feels like this: I feel thrilled and happy when my wife leaves for work in her best possible condition. On filming days, I treat her like staff who makes sure an athlete is in peak condition on game day. When she comes home after work, we hang out like best friends. There's absolutely no issue with pride at all."

Han Goeun said, "I recently told him, 'I don't remember the last time I felt so loved, cared for, and cherished like this. I'm so thankful, honey~'" She added, "I'm truly grateful, it feels like there are two of me. When I'm working, I feel like I left everything else in the hands someone I can trust. It allows me to work more freely. I think people in this industry are the ones who envy me the most," adding that people often tell her that she married well.

Her husband shared, "I always feel sorry and grateful to my wife. Anyone can see that she's the one who treats me incredibly well. She worries whether if I have enough workout clothes or shoes. She even tells me I should practice golf more. What I want to give her in return is emotional stability. I want her to feel that life is fun and happy," expressing his sincerity.

COMMENTS:

-It's not easy to live like that without feeling inferior. She met the right person.

-He's not just unemployed. He's an unemployed guy with soooo much moneyㅋㅋㅋ

-Does the man always have to be the one earning money? They're a family. As long as their teamwork is good, that's enough. They look so good together, I'm really jealous. I think this is what real love is like.

-He's not unemployed. He's a homemaker.

-Do you have any idea how hard housework is? And yet you call him unemployed? The husband has a great mindset. I love how he uses the analogy of 'a staff member caring for an athlete.'

-He achieved financial freedom by marrying a rich wifeㅋㅋ What do you mean unemployed?

-I want to live like that too!!!

-Well... His family was originally rich anywayㅎㅎㅎ

-Isn't he a full-time homemaker instead of unemployed? The wife is good at earning money and the husband is good at housework, they should just do what they're each good at.

-I'm so jealous of how they respect and care for each otherㅠ

-Other men are probably the most envious of him.

-I'm so jealous of the fact that he has a wife who is so f*cking gorgeous and richㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-I also want to be unemployed with a husband who makes lots of money.

-If there's no problem with making a living, it doesn't matter if he's employed or not. It's really nice for her to have such a supportive and caring husband like that.

-Don't call him unemployed. At that level, he's basically a managerㅋㅋ
