Broadcaster Jeon Min-ki and Jeong Mi-nyeo revealed that they faced a divorce crisis shortly after their marriage.
On the 16th, in the SBS entertainment program 'Same Bed, Different Dreams 2 - You Are My Destiny', the couple, who are both in their 10th year of marriage, shared their real-life experiences.
The two were using separate rooms due to snoring and the need for personal time. Wife Jeong Mi-nyeo expressed her need for alone time by cooking ramen alone in the early morning and then doing the dishes, which woke her husband Jeon Min-ki, who reacted angrily.
Jeon Min-ki scolded, "When do you actually sleep?" to which Jeong Mi-nyeo replied, "I usually don't sleep at night." Eventually, Jeon Min-ki exploded, saying, "If that's the case, go live abroad. How can you live with your days and nights switched?" and asked, "Why don't you sleep at night?"
The couple's conflicts began during their dating period. Jeong Mi-nyeo confessed, "A week before the wedding, I felt I couldn't go through with it and said so. The more we dated, the more I thought it wasn't right." Jeon Min-ki recalled, "At that time, my father saw my wife and fell in love at first sight, suggesting we set a date for the meeting of the families."
Jeong Mi-nyeo said, "I doubted whether this person was right for me even until just before the wedding. So I made a bombshell statement that 'breaking up seems right,' but my in-laws came and persuaded me to 'just trust us.'" Jeon Min-ki admitted, "To be honest, both of us felt like our married life was close to hell."
Jeong Mi-nyeo mentioned that many things happened during their honeymoon, saying, "We slept in twin beds during the honeymoon. We didn't have any marital relations." Jeon Min-ki also acknowledged, "In fact, during the honeymoon, it was zero."
Recalling that time, Jeong Mi-nyeo said, "I felt miserable, sensing that my husband didn't see me as a woman. I felt like I was an unloved being," and she shed tears.
In response, Jeon Min-ki stated, "I think fighting is a form of love. It's not about tormenting each other but about adjusting to each other's differences," adding, "Honestly, I think both of us felt like our married life was close to hell. It was painful to be with someone who didn't seem to like me for 24 hours."
Jeong Mi-nyeo then said, "For 2 or 3 years, I felt hurt, angry, and sad, wondering if I was someone who couldn't be loved by anyone," and her eyes welled up with tears.
