The daily lives of Chae Rina and Park Yong-geun, revealed through TV CHOSUN's 'Lovers of Joseon', drew attention due to their unique family structure and hierarchy. Chae Rina's home is a three-story building where she lives with her parents and her husband; the couple occupies the second floor while residing with her parents.

"I am at the top of the food chain" Chae Rina leads the household order

Decision-making power in the household is concentrated in Chae Rina. The structure is such that she personally decides everything from the home interior to the lighting, frames, and clocks. Chae Rina described herself as being at the "top of the food chain" in the house, explaining that her husband, Park Yong-geun, is positioned below her. Park Yong-geun showed his total compliance with her decisions, noting, "It is most comfortable to just do as I am told."

Chae Rina said, "I make all the decisions, and (my husband) asks for my permission for every little thing," adding that her husband follows her will without complaint. Regarding the household hierarchy, Park Yong-geun mentioned, "I am last," showing a submissive attitude toward Chae Rina's strong charisma. Chae Rina suggested that her husband's compliant attitude is a factor in maintaining peace in the home, noting that while he occasionally rebels, he ultimately leaves things to her.

From fan to lover, the first meeting with the "scary senior" Chae Rina

The connection between the two dates back to the time when Chae Rina was at the peak of her career as a singer. Park Yong-geun revealed that he first encountered Chae Rina during his military service. At that time, Chae Rina exuded unrivaled charisma in an oversized leather jacket, and Park Yong-geun recalled that he was "scared" when he first saw her. This was because Chae Rina's intense style and shaved head left an impression of her as a "tough unnie" on him.

Park Yong-geun explained that he did not feel romantic attraction from the beginning, but that feelings developed naturally as they spent time together as an older sister and younger brother. According to the couple, their relationship transitioned naturally into a romantic one through the process of spending time together, rather than through any specific occasion or impactful event.
