Footballer Ki Seung Yeung becomes a leader

Football fans and mania...for those who lurrrve soccer and supported respective clubs, I am sure you have heard of some of the football players in Korea. Though they have became so famous in those years when Japan/Korea held the first World Cup event in Asia, their popularity have somehow dropped to the bottom after those glorious years. When they failed to sustain their glory in the recent few World Cup matches, the public has turned their back against them. 

If you do still remember players such as Ahn Jung Hwan, Park Ji Sung, Cha Du Ri...etc were  the best Korea football players in history. They scored in their homeground bringing South Korea in the quarter or semi finals in World Cup. In fact Park Ji Sung was named as the Captain of South Korea team for few years and he made a name in Manchester United football club. These great football players have retired over the past few years and some became investors or football coaches. 

One of the new football players that has the looks and talent is Ki Seung Yeung. And guess what? He is actress Han Hye Jin's husband in real life. Previously Ki plays for the Sunderland club and was on loan from 2012 to 2014. Currently Ki is a mid-fielder under the Swansea football Club and part of the Korea's national team. He was also named as the Footballer of the Year in KFA 2011-2012. In early 2000, Ki was send off to study in Brisbane, Australia and he started receiving offers from Korean club FC Seoul and also A-League club Brisbane Roar. He is fluent in English and decided to return to his home country. 


In Korean age, he is only 25 years old and he married Han Hye Jin who is actually 8 years older than him. Erm...who says a younger man can't marry an older woman? 

Not long after their marriage, Han followed Ki to live in Wales and she started getting offers for some drama roles which she couldn't say no to it.
Ki who knows the sacrifice she has to make because of him, encouraged her to take up the offers in Korea. It was rather stressful being a newly married couple but separated because of career.

Here they are still standing strong on their marriage despite the huge age gap and different career lives.
We wish them all the happiness and good luck in their careers.

Han Hye Jin's famous dramas were Ju-Mong, Be Strong Geum Soon and Thorn Birds
