Seo Jang-hoon Fumes at Husband's Suspicious Meeting Tactics with 20-Year Younger Wife on 'Ask Us Anything'

A couple with a 20-year age gap appeared on KBS Joy's 'Ask Us Anything' (Mullubosal), causing shockwaves. The husband recounted their first meeting, stating, "It was hard to get introductions, and relationships with peers ended for practical reasons. I saw a girl selling bungeoppang while walking, and I thought she was Korean due to the COVID-19 period."

When the husband said, "I spoke to her, but I didn't consider her age," Seo Jang-hoon expressed his anger, exclaiming, "You can't say you didn't know her age after calling her a young girl." The husband explained, "I was flustered because she was Vietnamese, but I was full of confidence then. People on the street would give me their numbers if I asked. I didn't think of contacting her."

He further elaborated, "I felt embarrassed to meet her formally. Her Korean might be poor. It felt awkward to talk in a coffee shop, so I asked her to come over to my place, and she did. My appearance must have given her confidence." The wife revealed that she was too pure at the time to suspect anything bad.

Two years later, they reconnected and began discussing marriage. The husband confessed, "She suddenly asked to borrow money. I thought she was facing financial hardship and lent her 400,000 won, but it turned out to be a test." His subsequent description of his wife's extreme frugality shocked the studio.
