Does true love exist? Hospital Playlist actor Jung Kyung Ho and his heartfelt appreciation of his idol-turned-actress girlfriend, Girls’ Generation‘s Sooyoung, prove so.
In a recent interview with a media outlet, the actor described his girlfriend of 12 years as “the center of [his] life.”
Q. Aside from acting, what would you say is another pillar of your life?
Jung Kyung Ho: It’s such an obvious answer, but for me, the center of my life outside of acting is Sooyoung.
He even noted that he continues to act because of and for Sooyoung.
To be honest, sometimes I wonder if I act because of her (laughs). I want to look good for her, to show her that I’m a good person and a good actor. The thing that makes me happiest outside of acting is also her happiness. We’ve been together for a long time and see each other the most. We’ve been able to be together for so long thanks to her patience. I always make mistakes. I don’t anymore, but I used to drink too much and get drunk (laughs).
— Jung Kyung Ho
When asked about the importance of a lifelong partner, he responded, “It’s important. And I think it’s even more meaningful because we’ve shared the same dream of being good actors from the very beginning.”
As expected, fans can’t get enough of this relationship.
- “Omggggg”
- “Holy moly-!”
- “I mean, Sooyoung must be such a good person for him to be this in love. I’m rooting for both of them”
- “Just incredible. I’m envious.”
- “This is true love, for sure. Goals.”
- “Wow, that is so sweet.”
- “Wow…”
- “He’s Yang Gwan Sik (from When Life Gives You Tangerines) IRL.”
