Tiger JK talks about his marriage on ‘Sketchbook’

Tiger JK caused the ‘Sketchbook‘ audience to roar in laughter after making an unexpected confession about his marriage.

Hip hop artist Tiger JK and singer Brian Joo guest-featured on the February 24th episode of KBS‘ ‘Yoo Hee Yeol’s Sketchbook‘ and discussed dating and marriage.

Brian began by saying, “After being deeply hurt by a former girlfriend, I wondered what it would be like to live alone, and spent the last five years alone. This is comfortable for me.”

MC Yoo Heel Yeol then remarked, “You keep at that, and later you’ll start talking to your plants,” causing the audience to begin laughing. Tiger JK went a step further and added, “I have conversations with the wall. Make sure you date a lot, and marry late.”

When Brian asked Tiger JK about the upsides to marriage, Tiger responded, “Your thoughts begin to change, and you begin to broaden your perspective. You also begin to think a lot more.”

“Once you have a kid, that’s the end. It’s really hard. I love my wife and my child, but it’s really hard,” he continued.

When Brian began having negative thoughts about marriage, Tiger JK attempted to change Brian’s mind.

“No, but when you come home after a long day to your wife that’s snoring away…“, he said without finishing his sentence. His attempt to change Brian’s mind was highly unsuccessful, causing the audience to continue roaring in laughter.

Tiger JK admits living with Yoon Mirae before marriage

Tiger JK and Yoon Mirae recently shared their love story.

At a recent KBS 2TV ‘Win Win‘ recording, Tiger JK admitted that he and Yoon Mirae lived in the same house before getting married.

“There were times where I made $130 after working a single day, but spent most of it on cab fare trying to get to Mirae’s house. I didn’t know how to get to her house in Uijeongbu, so I got lost trying to find it in the cab. The cab fare that would normally be less than twenty dollars would end up being over $80,” Tiger JK said.

“But I would get all the way to Uijeongbu and I would only be able to call her from a pay phone,” he continued. “Her mother was so strict that it was hard for her to come out at night to see me. I even tired to sneak into her house through the doggy door but it was too small,” he revealed as the set exploded into laughter.

“When I was going through difficult times, he was there by my side and helped me a lot. My mom who had saw that took a liking to him. She knew that he was having a hard time living alone, so she permitted him to come live with us and the three of us lived together,” Yoon Mirae added.

Tiger JK and Yoon Mirae’s full love story was revealed on the January 3rd episode of ‘Win Win’.
