British broadcaster Eva Popiel shared her recent activities.

On the TV Chosun entertainment program ‘Gourmet Heo Young-man‘s Baekban Travels’ that aired on the 12th, Heo Young-man went on a food tour of Niigata, Japan with Eva Popiel. On this day, Eva Popiel revealed the behind-the-scenes story of how she came to marry a Korean husband.

Eva Popiel, who has been married for 15 years this year, has two sons who are three years old. When Heo Young-man asked, “Do you often cook for the kids at home?”, he replied, “My husband is good at cooking at home,” praising his caring husband who takes care of all the housework.

Eva Pobiel then asked, “If you were born again, would you marry me?”, to which she added, “I would never get married,” causing everyone to burst into laughter.

Heo Young-man then asked why she decided to get married in Korea. Eva Pobiel laughed and said, “I fell in love with my husband at first sight and it took me six months to persuade him.” “‘(You and I) suit each other well, I like you,’ but he said, ‘Can’t we just be sisters?’,“ she mentioned her husband who was not easygoing.

However, Eva Popiel did not give up and said, “No matter how I looked at him, I thought he would suit me well. I liked his sincerity. So I kept talking to him. I said let‘s date and decide if it didn’t work out then. I said how could I know without even trying,” she honestly said that she actively courted him.

When Heo Young-man asked, “Why did your husband eventually fall in love with you?”, Eva answered, “He said, “From the beginning, he thought (I was) okay, but I was too aggressive, so he scared me,“ making everyone laugh.

Meanwhile, Eva Popiel appeared on ‘Chit Chat with Beauties’ and became known to the public before going on to work in earnest in Korea. In 2010, she married Lee Kyung-gu, a sports instructor who is one year younger than her.
