Mar 16, 2025

Kang Joo-eun, the wife of actor Choi Min-soo and former Miss Korea, recalled the couple's first meeting.

On the 16th, a video titled '30 years of training a tiger vs. 30 years of abandonment (feat. Kang Joo-eun)' was uploaded on the YouTube channel 'Kon Dae-hee'.

On this day, Kang Joo-eun talked about various things from the process of being selected as Miss Korea in Canada to the story of being proposed by Choi Min-soo.

Kang Joo-eun, who grew up in Canada, briefly came to Korea for the Miss Korea finals and confessed that she was proposed three hours after meeting Choi Min-soo.

Kang Joo-eun greeted the staff after the Miss Korea competition and faced Choi Min-soo for the first time on the day. Kang Joo-eun "At that time, this man (Choi Min-soo) said, "Why is that person smiling while greeting so brightly when he wasn't even in the top 8?" It must have been interesting. Anyway, after that, I greeted and shook hands with Choi Min-soo and left. But my husband said, 'Who is it? He recalled that he thought he should meet again.

Afterwards, Kang Joo-eun headed to the broadcasting station for an MBC tour the day before she left for Canada, and reunited with Choi Min-soo, who was filming a drama at the time.

Kang Joo-eun "I didn't know who this person was. But since I said I'm a person who sings and acts, I wondered if I could get an autograph before I go to Canada. So the PD who went with me said 'Min-soo, can you give me a signature' and my husband told reporters 'I have to stop for a while because something important happened?' and asked me to drink coffee. So I went to MBC's underground cafe."

Then, while talking in broken Korean and broken English at the cafe, my husband said 'Let's get married' in three hours. In 3 hours..."But when I saw this man's eyes, I felt like I would live with this man's eyes for the rest of my life," he recalled.

Then, "What is this guy who proposes while talking about his life?" And I went out of the cafe. I came out of an MBC cafe and this person held my hand."

When Kim Dae-hee heard this, she was surprised, saying, `Did Choi Min-soo, the best actor of the time, watch everything inside the broadcasting station?'

Kang Joo-eun "My husband gave me five phone numbers and said 'Please call me '." But I didn't contact you. Then the next day, I went to Gimpo Airport, and this man came with a box. I packed a lot of pictures in the box. It contains pictures related to oneself, such as parents and dogs. I don't know much about myself, so I told him to watch it on a 17-hour flight."

Then there was a letter. 'Today is our birthday. The day we became one...' Since then, Choi Min-soo has come to Canada for four consecutive weekends. I took a 17-hour flight, ate lunch with my parents, and took a 17-hour flight back to Korea. Since I was filming the drama 'Mother's Sea', I came here after filming in Korea. At that time, my parents were happy talking to this man. I fell in love with it. That was an opportunity to have an engagement in Canada six months later and a wedding in Korea six months later."
