Gong Hyo Jin opened up about the unforgettable moment she got proposed to by her 10-year-younger husband, Kevin Oh, and it wasn’t exactly how she expected.
On January 6th, the Jjanhan Hyung Shin Dong Yup web show featured Gong Hyo Jin alongside Lee Min Ho as they promoted their new tvN drama When the Stars Gossip.
During the show, Gong Hyo Jin shared some personal details about her relationship with Kevin Oh, including the story of his proposal.
She began by recalling the moment Kevin Oh asked her to marry him. "He asked me to go for a walk with the dog, and we were by the Bukhan River," she explained.
"My husband had bought me a new moving camera and said he wanted to test it, so he filmed me. I didn’t think much of it, but suddenly, he asked, 'Will you marry me?' There was no ring, nothing! So, I told him to do it again later because I was disappointed."
But the story didn’t end there! Gong Hyo Jin revealed that later that day, Kevin Oh made things right with a more thoughtful and romantic gesture.
"When we got home, he proposed again," she said. "He had scattered flower petals all over the place and placed 10 story cards leading me up the stairs. As I read each card, I started crying. He’s really good at writing and attached our photos to each card, telling our story with a beginning, middle, and end."
The emotional moment didn’t stop there, though. "When I opened the door, he gave me a ring," Gong Hyo Jin added, explaining the reason for her earlier disappointment. "The key was the timing. He knew I would love it more if he first disappointed me, and I cried so much!"
Gong Hyo Jin married singer Kevin Oh in 2022, who is currently serving in the military and is set to be discharged this June.
Fans of the couple were moved by Gong Hyo Jin’s heartfelt proposal story, and many took her advice to heart—"Make sure to disappoint first when you propose!"
