In episode 25 of MBN ‘Kim Joo-Ha’s Day and Night’, airing on the 16th, Pyeon will reveal the news of his fourth marriage, kept secret for 15 years, along with his love story with his wife. He explained why he chose to go public late, saying, “I didn’t disclose my fourth marriage because of how others might view it, but now I felt it would be okay to reveal it.” Interest is growing in what led Pyeonwho said, “Each time I broke up, I vowed, ‘I must never love again’”to decide on a fourth marriage.
He also says that he came to know his wife by chance, and after she had been living in Japan, they got back in touch when she returned to Korea after a long time, and that connection blossomed into love. Moreover, Pyeon draws attention by confessing that his wife, two years his junior, is in her first marriage, saying, “As it turned out, because of me she hadn’t married and had remained alone.” Curiosity is mounting about his married life with his current wife, whom Pyeon describes as “the person who suffered the most by my side, and the one I did the least for.”
Pyeon, who said, “The person who stayed by my side whenever things were tough is my current wife,” opens up about various businesses he tried during his hiatus from the stage. In particular, he shares how the barbecue restaurant he ran once prospered to the point that customers came in chartered tour buses, but he had no choice but to close when the mad cow disease crisis suddenly hit. Attention is on Pyeon’s unfortunate account that “the monthly payroll alone was 26 million won, so I couldn’t endure it.”
