Popular Veteran Divorced Actor Kim Eui Sung Reveals He’s Been In A Relationship For 15 Years
Divorced actor Kim Eui Sung (60) revealed that he has been in a long-term relationship for 15 years.
In the most recent episode of My Little Old Boy (also called “My Ugly Duckling”), the daily life of “chameleon actor” Bae Yoo Ram—who can handle roles ranging from comedy to emotional performances—was revealed for the first time.
Bae Yoo Ram, known as a scene-stealing supporting actor who appeared in hit works such as Taxi Driver, Reply 1988, the films Exit and Midnight Runners, appeared on the show. He surprised the studio by revealing his 9-pyeong (about 30 m²) home, which was packed with miscellaneous items like shoes, clothes, and figures with barely any space to walk.
Bae Yoo Ram, who plans to move, finally began trying to throw away unnecessary belongings. Viewers are curious whether the “ultimate maximalist” will succeed in organizing his things.
Meanwhile, Bae Yoo Ram met his co-stars from Taxi Driver—Lee Je Hoon, Kim Eui Sung, Pyo Ye Jin, and Jang Hyuk Jin. The studio expressed excitement, noting that it was the first time all five had appeared together on a variety show.
Having worked together through three seasons of the drama, the “Taxi Driver” cast showed their close friendship while having honest conversations about dating and marriage.
During the broadcast, Kim Eui Sung revealed that he has been dating a girlfriend who is two years younger than him for 15 years. When asked about the secret to such a long relationship, he joked, “Maybe it’s just staying still as if you’re dead. You just have to endure somehow,” which made everyone laugh.
He then added his own philosophy about dating in middle age. “I strongly support meeting someone later in life,” he said, explaining that emotional exhaustion becomes less with age. “When you’re young, you fight like your life depends on it over trivial things. But as you get older, you realize those are all ‘items’ you’ve already fought about before.”
Actor Kim Eui Sung has been married and divorced twice before.
