Chapter 1: First TV Appearance
July 21, 2013
Dear Diary,
I know I am already a married woman, but it won't stop me from keeping a diary. Today was my first television appearance as the wife of Gu Jun Pyo. I am labelled as the luckiest woman on earth. A week after our wedding, we had a photoshoot for a magazine, that's the only magazine Jun Pyo had allowed, it's TODAY, the most popular magazine in Korea, it's a mixture of Politics, Showbiz, Lifestyle and Culture, basically an anything under the sun magazine. The whole magazine featured us. It earned a lot of recognition, it sold millions nationwide and worldwide, and that is the reason for this TV interview. A month after our very private wedding, a very intimate and solemn wedding, not to mention not too extravagant for a SHINHWA Heir.
It was my first time to be on a set of a TV show. I was already seated in a white couch, and Jun Pyo is beside me holding my hands. We are waiting for the show to start, and the host gave us a bow, and of course both of us returned the gesture. The set has very home-y feeling. We have a wide-screen background, a white leathered two-seater couch for the guest and a one seater of the same design for the host, Obviously.
"Are you okay?" Jun Pyo asked me. But before I was able to answer. The director interrupted us with a "3-2-1" and with that we're live. On cue...
"Good Morning to all the viewers, it's a very special episode today!" The very jolly host, Park Jee Min greeted with a very wide smile. She's a goddess. Her hair in a messy bun, matches her dress. She has a very piercing cat eyes,. She's a beauty, that's all I can say. My heart is jumping and I can feel my pulse on my throat. I am very nervous, and my husband has been looking at me from time to time, squeezing my hands. Jun Pyo is a very prominent man, he's already used to the public's eyes, he knows how to sit with elegance, and he can keep his poker face without appearing very scary. I am very lucky to have this gorgeous man.
"We have here today, Korea's Royal Couple of the Business Empire!" Suddenly the cameras are focused on us, I just bowed and showed my awkward smile.
The host enumerated some of the basic facts about us, our backgrounds. "Everyone is very curious about your secret wedding. You guys took us by surprise when someone posted some of your wedding pictures, and we heard that both of you wanted to keep it from the public," said Park Jee Min. It was not a question but her pause only meant that we have to elaborate more about it.
"We never really keep it as a secret, we just want to have an intimate celebration. It is not actually a secret wedding it's more of a private wedding." Jun Pyo explained and the host just nodded in agreement. Then I saw her look at me as if asking me to add so.
"We really planned it to be simple and solemn, and like he said, we want it to be intimate. And as you can see, I am still not used to having this kind of attention." I managed to end it with a smile. "Oh I see. Everyone's really crazy about you guys, ever since, there are always photos of you in the net wherever you go, and whatever you do." I can't disagree, the attention is overwhelming but I don't really put it in my head. "So how's the marriage life so far?" I heard Jun Pyo chuckled and I turned to look at him. He's smiled and snickered, and he's blushing on national tv. We unconsciously looked at each other we just laughed.
"I don't really know how to describe it but, so far we're still in the adjustment period. But it was really great. She's the first and the last person I see everyday, it's just really magical." I heard an "aww'" from the host. I could not help but smile. Jun Pyo has changed he just knows to answer these kinds of question. he just knows how to make me smile in his most wicked ways.
So you see the interview went great. We had laughs and I survived my first tv guesting, this may be the last. But of course having Jun Pyo as your husband, this will never end. After the interview he and I went out for lunch. He cancelled all his meetings for this day. After the lunch, we strolled in a park. It was a very nice day. Walking hand in hand, talking about the random things. We stopped in a swing, we sat their. Observing every single things nature has to offer while we're on a swing.
"Yah. Geum Jandi, do you know why swings are very significant?" Asked Jun Pyo while he turned to look at me, and of course he has a very wide smile.
"Of course, we had our first kiss in a swing." I said as I looked at him. He reached for my nose to pinch it and then we both smiled. "It was followed by lots and lots of kisses." I heard him say. " I am just glad I can kiss you any time now. " he added. As if on cue he stood up and offered me his hand to help me stand up. Face to face, he managed to kiss me followed by a hug. "It's been a month, but I still have a wedding and honeymoon hangover." Hearing him say that I punched him lightly and the guy just laughed at me. Mocking me for being still uncomfortable.
"Yaaah!C'mon, let's go home now." I walked first, and to be honest, I still cannot believe I am actually heading home, in our home. The Hangover of the newly weds.
