"A charm like subtle Pyongyang Naengmyeon" — Kim Kang-woo's YouTube philosophy

Having recently solidified his status as a YouTuber by reaching 1 million subscribers, Kim Kang-woo offered a unique metaphor for the nature of his content. He compared the understated, non-provocative quality of his videos to Pyongyang Naengmyeon (Pyongyang-style cold buckwheat noodles). Just as some find Pyongyang Naengmyeon to be subtle or "bland" while many others wait in long lines to enjoy it, he noted that his content seems to be loved by those seeking that same subtle flavor. "I want to be like that Pyongyang Naengmyeon," he said, emphasizing the clean and simple charm of his content.

Kim Kang-woo is known to enjoy cooking for his wife. In the video, he expressed his interest in cooking by mentioning dishes like tteokbokki made with cheese and cabbage. While confessing that he isn't the type to pull grand romantic gestures due to his somewhat patriarchal tendencies, he shared that he is learning how to support his wife through small daily actions, such as helping with recycling. This approach has even earned him the playful nickname "the enemy of men" for its positive influence on other men around him.

As the only person in his 30s in the family, Ki Sung-yueng plays the role of the youngest brother, receiving various requests from his sisters-in-law. In particular, he recently revealed the special reason behind his long hair. Ki confessed that he started growing it out because his wife prefers long hair and encouraged him to do so. He added that although there were times he wanted to cut it, his wife's persistent encouragement kept him going.

Ki shared that when his wife saw him with long hair, she jokingly remarked, "With your hair like that, it feels like I'm living with a different person." He decided to become that "new person" to please her, emphasizing that listening to his wife is more important than anything else. "The only thing I can do is listen to her," he said, showing how he accommodates his wife's assertive personality.

Despite being a veteran player on the soccer field, Ki Sung-yueng plays the role of the beloved youngest member at home, often receiving various playful requests from his sisters-in-law. Recently, he drew laughter when he mentioned that his sisters-in-law jokingly told him, "When we go before you, you'll have to put us in a nursing home." Even though he holds a senior position within his team as a professional athlete, Ki continues to maintain his role as the lighthearted youngest member within his family.
