"After seeing my wealth, they said I got married..."
Former baseball player Yang Jun-hyuk recalled the misunderstandings surrounding his marriage to his 19-year-younger wife Park Hyun-sun and the opposition from his in-laws, ultimately tearing up. A heartbreaking story hidden behind the title of a 'businessman with an annual revenue of 3 billion won' was revealed.
In the KBS 2TV entertainment show 'Boss's Ears are Donkey Ears' aired on the 1st, Yang Jun-hyuk was depicted inviting his in-laws, who had worked hard to help his defense business, to his ocean-view home in Pohang. That day, Yang Jun-hyuk presented heartfelt dishes such as homemade braised yellowtail, yellowtail sashimi, and yellowtail katsu, expressing his gratitude to his father-in-law and mother-in-law.
During the cheerful meal, the behind-the-scenes story of Yang Jun-hyuk and Park Hyun-sun's marriage came up. Yang Jun-hyuk jokingly said, "I spent 10 years winning my wife's heart," but the atmosphere soon turned solemn. This was because memories of his wife Park Hyun-sun being deeply hurt by the rumor that 'she married after seeing Yang Jun-hyuk's wealth' resurfaced.
In response, Yang Jun-hyuk firmly dismissed the distorted views, saying, "My wife is the one who married me when I was at my lowest." He showed tears that seemed to mix feelings of regret and gratitude, making those around him feel sad.
Park Hyun-sun also mentioned the harsh gazes from those around them and the opposition from her parents due to the 19-year age difference. In particular, her mother revealed, "At that time, my husband was so worried that he cried every morning." Yang Jun-hyuk broke down in tears, overwhelmed by the painful memories of facing opposition in the past and the love from his in-laws, which brought tears to the viewers' eyes.
Meanwhile, Yang Jun-hyuk married Park Hyun-sun in 2021 and celebrated the joy of having a late-born daughter at the age of 55 last December. He is currently experiencing a second peak as a businessman, operating a large-scale fish farm with an annual revenue of 3 billion won.
Recently, Yang Jun-hyuk faced controversy over neglecting his wife by making unilateral business decisions without consulting her or making inconsiderate remarks towards his hardworking wife. It will be interesting to see what changes he will show in the future as he expresses his heartfelt gratitude towards his wife and in-laws in this broadcast.
