Actor Choi Soo-jong said on tvN's "You Quiz on the Block," broadcast on October 14, that the four miscarriages his wife Ha Hee-ra suffered made their marriage even more tender.

What did Choi Soo-jong say about the miscarriages?

Choi said that without Ha's four miscarriages, he might have simply been an ordinary family man, one who works outside and comes home to his wife and children. Instead, he said the experience taught him that children are precious beings who come into the world as individual persons. That realization, he said, is why he now makes a greater effort to be kind to Ha and to support her.

What did Ha Hee-ra reveal earlier?

In a previous broadcast, Ha said she had three miscarriages before her first child and one before her second, four in total. She said that after six years of marriage she became pregnant, and that at one point she considered quitting acting because she feared she might never have children.

How does Choi raise their children?

Choi has said he treats his children as independent individuals and uses honorific language with them to help them develop good speech habits.

What about the rumors?

On the same show, Ha said she was surprised by rumors claiming Choi drinks, hits her, and then makes up for it with a special event. She said that since their newlywed days, people have read their behavior in different ways. She and Choi decided to follow their own truth rather than outside opinions, a choice she says they have kept for 33 years. She added that they told their children that whatever they hear, the parents they see are the truth, because the children might also hear such stories.

For international fans

Choi and Ha married in 1993 and are seven years apart in age. They have one son and one daughter. The original report appeared in Sports Seoul, written by reporter Kim Mi-young.
