Recently, actor So Ji Sub had an interview with Korean media after the movie "Agent Kim reactivated" ended.
This action-retaliation film started with a rating of 9.5%, then quickly surpassed the 20% mark after only 4 episodes, and ended with a rating of 23% - setting a record for the highest rating of a mini-series TV series broadcast in 2026 in Korea.
So Ji Sub said that the biggest motivation to help him overcome challenging projects is always family and close friends.
The people who give me strength are family, friends and a very small but extremely important group. In addition, I also relieve pressure by exercising. Every time I am tired, I often force myself to exercise to the point of not having time to think about anything else," the actor shared.
When asked about his wife Jo Eun Jung's reaction to the success of the movie, So Ji Sub revealed: "We watched the movie together. My mother as well as my wife not only watched the work, but first thought about the hardships I experienced during the filming process.
They said I worked very hard, praised the film as good, and every time they heard compliments from people around, they told me.
Besides, So Ji Sub also directly explained the reason why he always limits mentioning his wife in front of the media and the public.
The 48-year-old actor shared: "Perhaps this will be the first and also the last time I talk about this.
I hope my wife can live with her own name. If she constantly appears in public, people will forever call her'someone's wife'.
That makes me feel guilty. I just hope she lives with her own name, so I always try to limit mentioning her.
That is also the way the actor shows respect and love for his partner.
So Ji Sub's sharing also makes many people curious about Jo Eun Jung's current life.
Jo Eun Jung was born in 1994, 17 years younger than So Ji Sub. She was known as a game TV channel OGN announcer and eSports reporter before expanding her activities into the entertainment industry.
The two met after Jo Eun Jung interviewed So Ji Sub on the show "Night of real entertainment" in 2018, then the couple got married in April 2020.
Instead of holding a wedding ceremony, the two quietly registered their marriage and donated 50 million won to a non-governmental organization in South Korea to mark the important day.
Since then, Jo Eun Jung has hardly publicly appeared in front of the media, and there has been no information about her return to artistic activities or new plans.
After getting married, So Ji Sub was also commented to have become calmer and more relaxed than before.
In an interview to promote the movie "Confession" in 2022 - also the first time he answered the media after getting married - So Ji Sub once shared: "I am very happy. I didn't realize that before, but after getting married, I really feel life is more stable.
My insomnia disappeared, and my psychology also matured a lot. I really advise everyone to get married.
According to media, Jo Eun Jung and So Ji Sub are currently living in the luxury apartment complex Hannam The Hill in Yongsan District (Seoul, South Korea).
