Reporter Woobin Tenasia rewrites the entertainment industry record. We analyze the popular music and broadcasting industry issues and leave yesterday’s story as today’s record.


Men who date or marry a young woman with a large age gap have been called ‘thieves’. Rather than booing mixed with criticism, it is a meaningless metaphor for overcoming generational differences and having a heart.

The entertainment industry has been quiet regarding marriage news due to the corona crisis that has been going on for over two years. As the situation improved, the pink news came out. Along with this, the ‘Age of Thieves’ has come once more. Who is the couple whose front seat is a different age and the sound of ‘huh’ comes out naturally?

Bobby Kim revealed on SBS ‘My Little Old Boy’, which was broadcast on the 10th, that “I am 15 years older than my wife. I was born in 1987.” Bobby Kim wondered, “Why am I a thief?” After hearing the explanation, “In Korea, if there is a large age difference, you are called a thief, but it means ‘lucky'”, he said, “I am 10 years older than my father-in-law.”

Singer Mina and Philip Ryu are 17 years apart. Mina waited until the army of Philip Ryu, and when she finally got married, she became a representative (female) younger couple. Born in 1972, Mina is 51 years old and Philip Ryu is 34 years old. Actor So Yu-jin also got married over the 15-year age gap. So Yoo-jin’s parents also had a 30-year age gap, so they didn’t have any other thoughts regarding her older husband.

Singer Seo Tai-ji and actress Lee Eun-seong also overcame the 16-year age gap. In particular, Seo Taiji gave a big shock to her world when the news of her divorce from actress Lee Ji-ah came on. After her secret marriage and divorce were sorted out, her marriage to Eun-seong Lee was announced, which is considered one of the shocking news for her in the entertainment world.

Marriages in their 20s and 40s, marriages in their 30s and 50s. Or the 30’s and 40’s may seem fine on the outside, but looking at the numbers, it’s a surprising difference. The reason why there are so many couples with a large age gap in the entertainment industry is probably because celebrities get married late, but they are showing how well they live.

Although you can feel the age difference in appearance, there is no difference as much as the love-filled eyes and the happy couple. Thanks to this, the number of viewers who are curious regarding them has increased, and the enjoyment has also doubled as they have shown various aspects of them through various entertainment programs.
