Baseball's representative romantic Shin-Soo Choo's 'epic' birthday event prepared for his wife Hwan-Mi is making headlines. He showcased his romantic side by surprising his wife, who thought they were going out for pork belly, with a hotel surprise and a diamond worth tens of millions of won.
The video released on Hwan-Mi's YouTube channel on the 25th contained sweet behind-the-scenes stories from the birthday day. Hwan-Mi revealed, "As soon as my husband returned to Korea, he suggested going out for pork belly, and I was secretly disappointed." She even mentioned that when she jokingly expected a sparkling gift, Shin-Soo got serious and got angry, completely dashing her hopes. However, the car was headed not to a restaurant but to a hotel, where the plot twist began.
The gift revealed that day was a luxury diamond necklace and earring set that Shin-Soo personally brought from the United States. The items, which Hwan-Mi wore, are known to be from a high-end line, with the necklace priced at about 13 million won and the earrings at around 10 million won according to the official website, which caused astonishment.
What moved her more than the price of the gift was Shin-Soo's comment. He appeared holding a cake with the number '23' on it and made a romantic confession, saying, "It has been 23 years since we got married. You are 23 years old because the moment you married me, you were reborn."
Meanwhile, the couple, who married in 2004 and have two sons and one daughter, continue to show unwavering affection even after 23 years. Shin-Soo Choo, who recorded a cumulative salary of about 190 billion won during his Major League career, continues to express his abundant love for his wife after retirement, garnering envy from many.
