Nam Chang-hee Reveals Love Story With Wife, Expresses Gratitude to Mighty Mouse's Shoroon

Nam Chang-hee shared his love story with his wife.

On the July 26 broadcast of SBS's My Little Old Boy, Kim Jong-min met with Nam Chang-hee and Han Sang-jin.

On this day's broadcast, Kim Jong-min met with Han Sang-jin and Nam Chang-hee, who are known as two of the entertainment industry's most devoted husbands.

Han Sang-jin, who revealed that he has been living in Busan for six years for his wife—who is currently the head coach of a professional basketball team based in Busan—caught attention by sharing that he commutes to Seoul whenever he has work.

As a dedicated husband, he brought laughter and surprise by saying, "My wife is only home for 60 days out of 365. If we lived in Seoul, I wouldn't even get to see her for those 60 days."

Nam Chang-hee then prepared ingredients to cook for his older colleagues, saying, "Since my wife leaves for work in the morning, I prepare meals while she gets ready," adding that he would make a brunch-style French toast similar to the one he made for her.

While Nam Chang-hee was cooking, Kim Jong-min and Han Sang-jin talked about married life. Kim Jong-min, who is in his first year of marriage and says this is the happiest time, shared that he doesn't fight with his wife.

In response, Han Sang-jin recalled, "I fought with my wife right from our honeymoon and almost got divorced." He explained a past situation where a minor argument caused him to lose his temper and hurl the book he was reading onto the floor, prompting his wife to pack her bags and try to leave immediately.

He continued, "She said she didn't know I was that kind of person and tried to leave. She also asked if I hadn't cursed as well. When I thought about it, I guess I had momentarily said something like 'Damn it.' While I was panicking, my wife told me to call it off quickly before we registered our marriage," recalling the moment they were pushed to the brink of a real divorce.

Han Sang-jin then revealed how he completely changed into a devoted husband, sharing, "I dropped to my knees right away and wrote a pledge of commitment. That's why we don't have a single photo of the two of us together throughout our honeymoon."

Hearing Nam Chang-hee say that he sometimes has sudden dreams of his wife disappearing, Han Sang-jin joked, "That's because you're worried your wife might run away. Like the fairy and the woodcutter, you'll probably feel anxious until you have three kids," drawing laughter.

Once Nam Chang-hee's signature French toast was finished, Han Sang-jin and Kim Jong-min brought up Nam Chang-hee's wife, who was once famous as the "Han River IU."

Nam Chang-hee explained how he first met his wife through a friend, saying, "When we first met, I didn't know anything like that. A friend told me they knew someone who shared similar hobbies with me and that it would be good to meet her."

He added, "I developed a crush and asked an acquaintance to set up a natural meeting so we could meet for the first time. At the time, my wife was an aspiring actress, so we naturally exchanged contact information as senior and junior colleagues. From there, we got to know each other slowly."

Nam Chang-hee then said, "But then my friend ended up blurting out to my wife that I had romantic feelings for her. Since she had no idea I felt that way, she cut off contact after that day. Much later on, she reached out to me first via social media."

He shared the love story that led to their marriage after four years of dating: "Shori asked me to promote Mighty Mouse's new music release, so I posted it, and she saw it and reached out. I posted a story promoting a song called 'Will Love Come?', and she sent a message saying, 'Is love coming?'. So I immediately asked her to meet, saying I would go right in front of her house the very next day. From that day on, we started dating and it led to marriage."

Nam Chang-hee also drew attention by revealing that he still expresses his gratitude to Shori today, crediting him for helping his love come to fruition.
