A former athlete recently confessed that his love for mobile games nearly ended his marriage. He revealed his story during a pre-release episode of MBN's Dongchimi on December 4, leaving viewers curious about who it could be.

The star in question? None other than former soccer player Kim Young Kwang! Kim shared how his gaming habits spiraled out of control, leading to an intense confrontation with his wife.

"I don’t change cars or spend much money. I mostly take the kids to their academies and have a lot of free time. Reading makes me sleepy, so I started playing mobile games. It didn’t cost anything, and it was just to kill time," he explained.

However, what began as a harmless hobby soon became a problem. Kim admitted, "I kept playing more and more, and my wife started looking at me with disdain."

He added, "I promised to quit and deleted the game, but I secretly reinstalled it and continued playing. That’s when she made me write a pledge, saying, ‘If I play mobile games one more time, we will get divorced.’”

When asked if he played games during conversations or meals, Kim clarified, "If I did, I’d understand her anger. But I only played after doing all the dishes and when I was alone. Still, the divorce papers were a wake-up call. I stopped immediately. I can’t risk being cut off by my wife."

Kim’s candid story left fans shocked but entertained, reminding everyone that sometimes even harmless hobbies can lead to serious consequences.

Actor Song Kang Ho shocked fans by revealing the surprising reason he initially turned down the iconic role in Joint Security Area (JSA).

On February 4, the movie JSA was celebrated as a "Visionary" work at a special GV (Guest Visit) event for CJ ENM’s 30th anniversary at CGV Yongsan I'Park Mall in Seoul. The event was attended by director Park Chan-wook and stars like Song Kang Ho, Lee Byung Hun, Lee Young Ae, Kim Tae Woo, and Ko Kyung Beom, who shared stories from the making of the film.

Joint Security Area, a groundbreaking film by director Park Chan-wook, tells the story of North and South Korean soldiers caught in a tragic incident at the border, highlighting the human side of the divided nations. The film has been widely praised for changing the perception of inter-Korean relations and is seen as a key moment in Korean cinema.

During the event, Song Kang Ho admitted that he turned down the JSA script at first, saying, "The script was just too perfect. It was so well-written and tightly woven that I couldn’t believe it. I thought, ‘Is this really Korean cinema at this level?’ I felt it was too good, and I figured the movie wouldn’t live up to the script."

He also mentioned that at the time, Park Chan-wook’s previous films hadn’t done well, which made him even more doubtful. "But after meeting the director, I started to trust him," Song Kang Ho added.

Reflecting on the film 20 years later, Song Kang Ho joked, "I was flipping through channels and watched JSA again. I thought, ‘There was a time when I wasn’t envious of Lee Byung Hun,’ but he looked so handsome and cool back then." He continued, laughing, "One thing about Park Chan-wook's films is that they have a depth and elegance that you just can’t forget. It’s probably why his new movie is called I Can’t Help It."

Song Kang Ho also spoke fondly of reuniting with his JSA co-stars after 25 years. He shared, "We didn’t watch the film together, but we had a cozy two-hour dinner. After all this time, it felt nostalgic. It was heartwarming to sit together again and reminisce about the past. It really made me realize how meaningful these moments are."
