Kim Nam Joo talked about Choi Ji Woo and weddings during an interview on April 3.

 

Kim Nam Joo revealed that she and Choi Ji Woo share a special bond. 13 years ago, when Kim Nam Joo wed Kim Seung Woo on May 25, 2005, Choi Ji Woo caught the bouquet at her wedding.

 

She was recently reminded of this after reading the reports on Choi Ji Woo’s wedding. Kim Nam Joo said, “After seeing the articles, I said, ‘Oh yeah. That happened,’ and remembered it. At the time, there was no one to accept it. Everyone was either already married or far from getting married. Out of those people, Choi Ji Woo seemed like the fastest one to get married, so she received it without any particular meaning. And she got married 13 years later.”

 

The news of Choi Ji Woo’s wedding took everyone by surprise when it was previously announced on March 29. After about a year of dating, she got married to a non-celebrity in his 30s with only their family members in attendance.

 

Choi Ji Woo was successfully able to keep her wedding a secret by not telling any of her celebrity acquaintances. Kim Nam Joo commented, “No one knew at all. Everyone around me was also surprised, but congratulated her.”

Leave my husband alone, pleads actress Choi 

 

By Dong Sun-hwa The Korea Times

 

f7f7f37674de4f2dac53e847b3414cd1.jpg

 

Veteran actress Choi Ji-woo, 43, has complained about the release of her husband's personal information. 

 

The Dispatch Tuesday reported that Choi's husband is the CEO of an online-to-offline mobile application company, nine years younger than Choi and the two were dating for three years. 

 

It also said Choi helped him with his new business in 2014 and changed his name in 2015. 

 

The report contradicted Choi's agency, YG Entertainment's explanation that they were dating for a year. 

 

YG said Choi was under duress and asked people and the media to refrain from making assumptions. 

 

The two had a private wedding in March and little was revealed then about the groom. 

 

Choi starred in the seminal K-drama "Winter Sonata" in 2003.

Yoo Yeon Seok And Son Ho Jun To Star In New Variety Show With Choi Ji Woo And Yang Se Jong As First Guests

Yoo Yeon Seok And Son Ho Jun To Star In New Variety Show With Choi Ji Woo And Yang Se Jong As First Guests

 

Yoo Yeon Seok and Son Ho Jun will be bringing warmth to viewers with their own variety show!

 

On December 3, it was announced that tvN will be airing a new reality show titled “Coffee Friends.” The show will follow Yoo Yeon Sok and Son Ho Jun as they run a cafe located in a tangerine farm on Jeju Island, and they will donate all of their profit to a charitable cause.

 

The show is inspired by the duo’s “Coffee Friends” project, where they gave cups of coffee to citizens in exchange for donations. The goal was to show people that it isn’t difficult to start donating to those in need. Now, they will be taking the concept to another level as they sell coffee and brunch at a cafe.

 

Anticipation is rising as it has been revealed that producing director (PD) Na Young Suk will be a creative director for the show. He has worked with the two actors on popular variety shows like “Youth Over Flowers” and “Three Meals a Day.” The show will be directed by PD Park Hee Yeon, who has co-directed many shows with PD Na Young Suk as well as programs like “Teacher Baek” and “Street Food Fighter.”

 

Just like how Yoo Yeon Seok and Son Ho Jun invited friends to help run their coffee truck for the “Coffee Friends” project, the show will also invite guests to work as part-time employees. The first guests on the show will be Choi Ji Woo and Yang Se Jong. Choi Ji Woo was invited by Son Ho Jun after getting to know each other on “Three Meals a Day,” and Yang Se Jong will be making his first-ever variety show appearance after being invited by Yoo Yeon Seok.

 

PD Park Hee Yeon said, “We have decided to launch this new variety show after being inspired by the donation project Yoo Yeon Seok and Son Ho Jun led this year. The various happenings that take place in the cafe will move viewers and also bring laughter to them.”

 

Yoo Yeon Seok and Son Ho Jun’s “Coffee Friends” is set to premiere on tvN in January 2019.

Choi Ji Woo was invited by Son Ho Jun as they had previously met through “Three Meals a Day,” while Yang Se Jong was invited by Yoo Yeon Seok as they had appeared on “Romantic Doctor Kim” together.
