Comedian Kim Hyo-jin, who was greatly loved by the public in the 90s as ‘Pretty Little Girl’, has shared her recent status as the wife of a pastor.

A video interview with Kim Hyo-jin was released on the YouTube channel ‘The Mission’. Kim Hyo-jin, who is currently appearing in the play ‘I Love You Mom’, recently became a ‘pastor‘s wife’ after her husband was ordained as a pastor.

Regarding this, Kim Hyo-jin began by saying, “I knew that my husband’s dream as a child was to be a pastor. However, I decided to get married because my husband chose a different path as an adult. If my husband had told me he was going to be a pastor, I probably wouldn‘t have gotten married. This is because I know how important and difficult the path of a pastor and his spouse is.”She continued, “But after I had our first child, my husband’s work didn‘t go well and he became very lost. My husband was just like me when I was in a broadcasting slump. He was depressed and used alcohol to relieve his stress and anger. It was so hard. It was the biggest ordeal. I thought about divorce because I thought I couldn’t take this family to the end,” she said, recalling the difficult times.

Then one day, Kim Hyo-jin suddenly remembered her wedding vows. “I wrote them myself. I wrote, ‘I will love this person until the end, whether I respect him or not, even in those moments when it’s hard to love him.’ I prayed and thought, ‘I’ll give the person I hate one more piece of rice cake,’ and I showed my love more by cooking his favorite dishes and traveling with him. Then, my husband quit drinking, became more cheerful, and read the Bible more diligently than before,” she said, mentioning her husband’s changes.

She then recalled the situation at the time when her husband decided to become a pastor. “My husband suddenly said he had to become a pastor. ‘God, I asked you to restore my husband, I didn’t ask you to make him a pastor,’ I said on my own. But on the other hand, I thought, ‘It was meant to be,’ and I couldn‘t help but admit it. In the end, my husband was ordained and we are living very happily. I don’t think he will do general pastoral work in the future and he is preparing for what kind of ministry he will do.“

Meanwhile, Kim Hyo-jin said, “I don‘t know if I have the qualifications and capabilities to be a pastor’s wife,” and expressed her determination, saying, “I will wisely balance between being a pastor‘s wife and an entertainer and kill two birds with one stone.
