Wonyoung’s Marriage Goals
So basically, what turned the flow of the interview? Kang asked Wonyoung what her ultimate life goal was. She candidly replied, “To live really luxuriously with my husband.” Though Kang burst into laughter after hearing that but Wonyoung completed her answer and added that she would be a good wife.
“I think I’d be good at being a wise wife and good mother type. I like taking care of people… but honestly, I was half-joking. I need to be able to respect him in some way. If I can’t, then I don’t think I’d develop feelings,”
Going towards the next question, Kang asked her about the physical traits of her ideal man. To which she revealed her preference for a physically solid man.
“If someone has a strong physique, it shows they take care of themselves and have a routine to follow. Since I enjoy self-care, I like people who are the same.”
In the next scene, Kang praised Wonyoung for living diligently. She added that she tends to work hard when her name is on the line. She said, “I never once thought of myself as living diligently. Everyone just has different standards. When it comes to my work, even if it’s hard or I don’t want to do it, since my name is attached to it, I always thought, ‘I have to do it properly.’ It wasn’t about thinking I need to work hard.”
