During a recent taping of My Ugly Duckling, he arrived at the airport with his wife \u2014 previously known only as a businesswoman 15 years his junior \u2014 drawing the studio&#8217;s full attention.<\/p>\n<p> The actor married in 2019 at the age of 58, a milestone that made him something of a symbol of hope for older, single men. When the couple appeared in the arrivals hall closely embraced like any newlyweds, fellow cast members Kim Seung\u2011soo and Im Won\u2011hee couldn&#8217;t hide their envy.<\/p>\n<p> On camera, Kim frequently showered his wife with praise and public displays of affection, revealing a doting side that charmed viewers. The pair maintained that newlywed intimacy during their car ride from the airport to their lodging, holding hands and sharing kisses, offering a textbook portrait of newlywed sweetness.<\/p>\n<p> Kim&#8217;s on\u2011air adoration included lines such as \\&#8221;There&#8217;s no one like my wife\\&#8221; and \\&#8221;How many times would I have had to save the country in a past life to live a life like mine?\\&#8221; \u2014 remarks that drew envious reactions from the show&#8217;s \\&#8221;Mother Avengers\\&#8221; panel.<\/p>\n<p> The episode also addresses why Kim kept his marriage hidden for more than seven years after the 2019 wedding. When Kim Seung\u2011soo asked, \\&#8221;Why did you marry like a thief in secret?\\&#8221; Kim opened up about personal circumstances that made secrecy necessary. Viewers can watch the full account of why the couple married privately and see the previously veiled details of their married life on the broadcast on the 22nd at 9 p.m.<\/p>\n<p> [Sports Today reporter Song Oh\u2011jeong <span><font color=\"blue\">ent@stoo.com<\/font><\/span>]<br \/> Bringing you the closest, most fun news \u00a9 Sports Today   <\/p>\n<div class=\"byeline\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- view_related --><!-- view_related\/\/ --><!-- two-line highlight below byline --><!-- byline lower highlight --><!-- next_article\/\/ --><\/p>\n<table width=\"100%\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"50%\"><\/td>\n<td align=\"right\"><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Actor Kim Byeong-se reveals his wife for the first time on &#8216;My Ugly Duckling,&#8217; sharing sweet moments and a hidden marriage story.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/contents-cdn.viewus.co.kr\/image\/2026\/03\/CP-2023-0081\/image-10528dc0-e57d-480c-82e5-a42426ba4c8e.jpeg","footnotes":""},"categories":[278102],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-251832","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-entertainment"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Why Did Kim Byeong-se Hide His Marriage?
