The actor stated that he fell in love with his wife as soon as he laid eyes on her. According to the actor, they met while he was filming at the cafe she was managing.

Due to all of the love I received, I was able to film in many places, and one day there was an opportunity to film in Akihabara (Tokyo). I filmed at a cafe in a famous Wagyu house. While filming, I couldn’t focus, due to the manager of the place.

The actor then stated that after meeting his future wife, he started studying Japanese and eventually mustered up the courage to ask her to come with him to Korea.

It was my first time going to Japan alone. I mustered up the courage. Since then, I studied hard. Where to get off (subway exit) and where to get on (subway), I would just go [sic]. When I arrived, I saw her walking from over there, and I thought, wow, I have to marry this person.

I made up my mind at that point and asked her to come to Korea. To be honest, I had to wait for her answer. But my wife had a really good job, but she made up her mind and quit. She quit everything and came to Korea.

After the broadcast, Shim Hyung Tak’s wife quickly went viral. Although previously the couple went viral due to their age gap, this time the actor’s wife went viral because of her resemblance to BTS’s Jungkook.
