Jung Kyung Ho replied, This may be a very familiar saying, but the center of my life outside of acting is Choi Sooyoung.
He continued: Actually, I think my acting is for her. Because I want to look beautiful in her eyes, want to let her know that I am a good person and a good actor.
Besides acting, what makes me happiest is Sooyoung's happiness. Because we have been dating for a long time and meet often.
Jung Kyung Ho praised his girlfriend for her good virtue, which helped the couple maintain their 13-year relationship: "Thanks to her patience, we were able to meet for such a long time. As for me, I am a person who always makes mistakes, for example, I used to drink too much and was often drunk, although now I am no longer like that.
When asked about the importance of having a long-time partner, he shared: "That is very important. I think it is even more meaningful because we always share the same dream of becoming great actors.
