Son Dambi opened up about her love story with her retired long track speed skater husband Lee Kyu-hyuk.
On the Sept. 16 episode of SBS’ variety show "Invitation from Bachelor Again", a “Queen of Queens” special welcomed guests Lee Ji-hye, Son Dambi and Kim Ddolddol.
On the show, Son looked back on their first meeting on SBS’ "Kiss & Cry," where the two connected and eventually began dating.
As she listed the reasons they clicked, cast member Lee Sang-min joked, “Let’s be honest ― it was his thighs,” drawing laughs.
Son recalled that during an especially busy period, they felt they had to prioritize their own lives and decided to part ways.
A decade later, she ran into Lee again at her birthday party. “I’d actually wanted to see him,” she said. “We moved the after-party to a barbecue spot he used to run, and suddenly he walked in. ‘Dambi, long time no see,’ he said and my heart started racing.”
“He was someone I’d loved so much, and of course I was curious. We talked until dawn. Even after 10 years, nothing felt awkward. That’s when I thought some people are just meant to find their way back. The spark was back ― and before I knew it, we were getting married,” she added, sharing a love story straight out of a movie.
