Singer Ryu Philip revealed why he decided to marry Mina, a less fortunate family member.

On the YouTube channel 'Philmi Couple' on the 11th, a video titled 'Why did everyone decide to marry singer Mina even though they were 17 years apart?' was posted.

During a live broadcast with Mina, Ryu Phillip read the comment "It's cool to see Philip respect his wife". Ryu Philip "I respect Mina just by looking at her appearance, but what you see is the tip of the iceberg. If you are beautiful inside, you can see your face."




Ryu Philip "Mina is really nice. I am living my life sacrificing and dedicating my life for me. There's no one like Mina"I talked a lot about my past while appearing on a lot of broadcast programs. We talked a lot about the family history of our troubled teens and disadvantaged past, but it turned out to be a blessing. After marrying Mina, I knew that it was a blessing to have a lot of waves and hardships and adversity in the past. I thought that he gave me hardships and adversity for a really long time to make people's eyes."

Ryu Phillip appeared on Channel A 'Oh Eun-young's Golden Counseling Center' in 2023 and confessed to his disadvantaged past. After his parents' divorce, Ryu said he lived in the United States where his father was. `I worked like crazy for four or five years at a large restaurant run by my father and didn't give me any pocket money"I was shocked when he revealed that he had been robbed of labor and ran away at night.

As for the reason why Ryu Philip decided to marry Mina, he decided to marry Mina after seeing her. At the time, people must have thought they were crazy because they were 17 years apart. But think carefully. The only thing Mina lacked was the age differenceIt's not that you don't like it because you're in a situation where you're wearing a hat, just looking at whether you're a good person to marry this person or not. 'Is this person really good or bad?' Is this the woman to marry?' Is this the woman to be married?' Is this the important thing. I felt that I shouldn't miss it. Age difference was not the point. 'I should get married' I thought..." he expressed his thoughts.




Liu Philip "Age difference is solved by working out hard and living diligently. If you manage it hard, you can overcome the years. Look at Mina. He stressed that he is 17 years older than me, but he is healthier than me.
