Jung Kyung-ho, who rose to international fame with Hospital Playlist’s Kim Jun-wan, shared his thoughts on marriage with long-time partner Sooyoung of Girls’ Generation, aka SNSD.

The couple began dating in 2013 and went public in 2014. With a decade almost closing in, interviewers asked the actor about his plans for marriage.

The 39-year-old actor calmly replied that although they have never had a serious discussion about it, they will take the next step when the time is right. As per translation via Soompi:

“I think we should get married when the time comes. But we’ve still never had a concrete conversation about it. If the right time comes.”

“The only person that I talk to”: Jung Kyung-ho opens up about SNSD Sooyoung's importance in his life

Jung Kyung-ho is a household name in South Korea, and so is his very public relationship with idol-actor Sooyoung. The couple has hardly been seen together outside, making fans yearn for their photos. While Sooyoung is currently filming Fanletter, Please, her beau is busy promoting his upcoming movie, Men of Plastic.

In a press interview for the same, Jung Kyung-ho was asked about his nearly decade-old relationship with Sooyoung. He said they are in a comfortable position that is enough not to pay much heed to others. Moreover, the actor also talked about the importance of the Girls Generation member in his life:

“Now, we don’t pay much attention to the eyes of others. A lot of time has passed [since we started dating], and we’ve made lots of memories and shared lots of conversations during the past 10 years. So she’s the person I talk to the most, because there are things that I can only talk about with her. It’s to the extent where I find myself thinking she might actually be the only person that I talk to."

The Men of Plastic actor even mentioned how the duo constantly support each other. Besides, being from the same industry helps them understand each other even more and gives them opportunities to cheer for each other:

"We’re always warmly cheering each other on. [Sooyoung] came to the VIP premiere yesterday to watch my film. She said she enjoyed it. Since she and I are in the same line of work, we’re respectful of one another when we talk about acting."
