It was in January 2019 when actress Ham So Won, 42, married Weibo celebrity and ex-idol trainee Jin Hua. He is 18 years her junior and the son of a leading farmer's boss, continuing to operate an online shopping mall.
The actress and her husband graced a reality show and talked about their love story. When Ham So Won started realizing she was so much older than he was, she decided to share the answer to Jin Hua's response.
"He was not calling me, so I just accepted it," she said.
At first, she felt she was just playing these games with the younger man. Upon speaking for a few weeks, nevertheless, she discovered that he was genuine and serious. This was when she resolved to confess the reality of the situation to him.
"I needed to tell him everything, especially my age," Ham So Won narrated.
He hadn't called her for two days after learning about her age, and So Won decided it was all over. She recounted, "I said, 'I am so sorry, but I am much older than you.'"
Then, he scolded her when he managed to reach out to her!
"Why are you living your life partying like that?" Ham So Won narrated Jin Hua's question to her back then. He added, "Come to your senses! Why are you still going to parties at your age? You 're not to be living like that at given your age. We must get married immediately and have children."
They got married after six months!
Jin Hua expressed his feelings about the two days he was out of contact.
"When I learned of the big age gap, I didn't even think that would be a problem. I had been thinking about how to tell my parents and our plans for the future in the two days I didn't actually call or reached out to her," he shared.
In December 2018, Ham So Won and Jin Hua welcomed their baby. Before giving birth, they disclosed the whole process on the reality TV seeing her in labor.
