Korea’s Favorite K-Drama Father Has Already Picked His Future Daughter-In-Law
Actor Sung Dong Il, a household name in the Korean acting industry, made headlines for a past comment regarding his future daughter-in-law.
Back in 2015, the actor made an appearance on MBC‘s Section TV Entertainment News to interview with the broadcasting station. Sung Dong Il guested on the program along with Kim Yoo Jung—and it was his sudden confession about the actress that made headlines.
On their episode, the veteran actor talked about Kim Yoo Jung and how they met on the set of New Heart back in 2007. It was following their brief meeting through the K-Drama that Sung Dong Il decided for himself that she would become his future daughter-in-law.
Kim Yoo Jung’s eyes are very pretty. Even now, I have a greed for Kim Yoo Jung. I have been preparing my heart for her and my Joon (Sung Dong Il’s son) to end up together.

He then shared the message he told Kim Yoo Jung regarding Sung Joon, where he asked the actress to wait for his son to grow up.
I told Kim Yoo Jung that I would raise Sung Joon well and to wait for him. I told her that I can’t lose her to anyone else.
— Sung Dong Il
Kim Yoo Jung is currently 24-years-old while Sung Dong Il’s song is only 17-years-old, so there is a bit of an age gap between the two. And while this was all said as a lighthearted joke, we can totally see why the veteran actor would want the actress as his daughter-in-law!
