Actor Nam Goong Min recently opened up about his personal life during an appearance on a popular YouTube show, sharing a story he had never told before. The actor detailed how he and his wife, Jin Ah Reum, first crossed paths and the challenges he faced in winning her over.

How They Met

Nam Goong Min recounted how he met Jin Ah Reum in a rather unexpected way. He had planned to travel to China to shoot a movie, but due to the lead actress’s injury, the filming was delayed by two months. With some free time on his hands, he decided to work on a movie script he had written.

In his story, Nam Goong Min mentioned that he cast Jin Ah Reum for a minor role in the film, where she had no lines. He described her as “seeming like a model,” and they did not interact during the filming process. Afterward, he obtained her contact information through a friend and reached out to her. Jin Ah Reum was reportedly surprised by his call.

“I got her number from a friend. She was shocked when I called her.”

Repeated Rejections

Nam Goong Min shared that his initial attempts to pursue Jin Ah Reum were unsuccessful. He admitted to being honest and direct in his affections, which, according to him, was not always well-received. Jin Ah Reum rejected his advances several times.

“I have no skills when it comes to dating as I was often too honest. I do well when I’m silent but I have to express my feelings, but I’ve heard that when someone constantly tells you that they like you, you eventually lose feelings.”

He described a specific instance where, despite his persistence, Jin Ah Reum rejected him once again during a meeting before his trip to China. However, while he was at the immigration checkpoint for his flight, he received a lengthy text from her.

“She told me that she rejected me because I was rushing things and that she felt I was being too much.”

After his return to Korea, they reconnected and began dating. Nam Goong Min recounted a moment when he asked Jin Ah Reum to be his girlfriend while they were out for a drink. Although she was initially not pleased and suggested he should have asked earlier, their relationship eventually blossomed.
