Kim Eui-sung revealed that his girlfriend is two years younger and a non-celebrity. He surprised everyone by saying, "I met my girlfriend when I was the same age as Lee Je-hoon is now."

"Well... maybe the secret is 'just stay still and pretend you're dead'? You've just got to endure somehow."

Beneath his witty joke lay deep trust and affection for his long-time partner.
