He said, "My girlfriend appeared in a movie that I directed.  It was a role that stands out, so we auditioned about five models.  All of the staff told me [the role should go] to this other person, but in my eyes, [Jin Ah Reum] was suitable.  I chose because I was the director."  The MCs responded with, "It was an audition for a girlfriend in the end!" to which he was taken aback and laughed.  Pret-ty much, Nam Goong Min...

He continued, "This is my first time in a public relationship.  The reporter must have called my girlfriend and talked to her stubbornly like s/he was my friend.  My girlfriend said, 'How did you know [about our relationship]?' and it was immediately published.  My girlfriend was so taken aback.  I decided to cheer her up well and reveal [the relationship].  I feel very comfortable now."
