The story of how 'nation's MC' Yoo Jae Suk met his wife, Na Kyung Eun, was recently revealed, garnering much interest from the public.
During a recent broadcast of MBN 'Ah Gung-Ee,' producer Lee Ki Jin said, "Yoo Jae Suk always had an interest in Na Kyung Eun. But before Yoo Jae Suk got married, he had said that ideally he would like to date another announcer. Because he said this, no one really had any idea."
The producer continued, "Then at a 'Infinity Challenge' dinner, Na Kyung Eun approached Yoo Jae Suk first and told him that she was a fan. Yoo Jae Suk was surprised, but the staff members around them got the hint and started rooting them on."

Announcer Yoon Young Mi then added, "Yoo Jae Suk liked the fact that Na Kyung Eun was nice, innocent, and smart. Realizing he didn't want to lose the chance with her, he asked her out to dinner. Eventually they became a couple in August of 2006."
She continued, "Actually, that was the story that everyone else knows and probably wants to hear. From what I've heard, It was Na Kyung Eun who was the one that asked for Yoo Jae Suk's number. Yoo Jae Suk is very passive. Amongst the announcers, it was rumored that Na Kyung Eun liked him more than he liked her."
Currently, Yoo Jae Suk and Na Kyung Eun have been happily married since 2008 and have since given birth to a beautiful, healthy son who is now 5 years old.
