In a heartwarming episode of TV CHOSUN's reality TV show 'Chosun's Real Romantic', Korean-Canadian actor and model Julien Kang opened up about his deep affection for his wife, fitness YouTuber JJ (real name Park Ji-eun).
The episode, which aired on June 24, marked Julien Kang and JJ's first appearance as a married couple on television.

Julien Kang, in sync with his wife's sentiments, reflected on their YouTube collaborations as a pivotal moment in their courtship.
"At my age, I knew exactly what qualities I wanted in a partner. JJ and I clicked so well that I thought we could spend the rest of our lives together. That's why I wanted to marry her quickly. When you're looking for a life partner, it's important that your energies match up. I prefer a tender-hearted woman who is a conservative type and kind of a homebody. To put it simply, a 'sexy nerd' is my type of woman. You know, someone who is intelligent, always stays at home, and is sexy."
