Actor Ryu Jin gifted his wife an expensive foreign car.
On the 8th, a video titled "Ryu Jin Gave His Wife a Foreign Car After 20 Years" was posted on the YouTube channel 'The Most Wonderful Ryu Jin'.
In the video, Ryu Jin stated, "The car, which is like family, is sick and I am going to send it to the hospital. This car is from 2008. I bought it right after my eldest son was born."
His wife expressed that she had grown attached to the car, referring to it as 'another home' after using it for a long time. Ryu Jin mentioned, "Just changing the turbo will cost 5 million won. Today might be the last test drive," and added, "Even if it gets repaired, I am somewhat thinking that we should stop using it."
Ryu Jin confessed that he bought a new car, saying, "I think of that car as something I will use alone after it's repaired, and I need to order a car for the kids," and added, "It will be delivered today, but I don't know how my wife will react."
The car Ryu Jin chose is a Volvo V90, which costs 78 million won. Including additional costs, it amounts to 80 million won. Ryu Jin expressed, "The color is so pretty. I am satisfied seeing it in person," and confidently stated, "Even if the exterior is not to my wife's liking, I believe she will like the interior."
The next day, Ryu Jin showed the new car to his wife, but she seemed lukewarm. She said, "I've only driven high-roof cars since I was young," expressing disappointment over the low roof.
The couple, after performing a simple ritual for the new car, went for a drive to a café near the airport. When asked if she liked the car, his wife firmly replied, "Honestly, the exterior is not great. It's not my style," and added, "I need a long-distance journey with a story."
Ryu Jin married his wife, a flight attendant 7 years younger than him, in 2006, and they have two sons together. He has been sharing his daily life through YouTube, connecting with fans.
