Park Ji-sung and Kim Min-ji Celebrate a Sweet Milestone After 11 Years of Marriage
On May 13, Kim Min-ji took to her personal channel to share a rare glimpse into their private life with the caption, “After 11 years, he finally succeeded in getting me to work out. Respect to the man of perseverance.”
The post included a selfie of the couple inside an elevator, both dressed in matching grey athletic outfits. Standing close together and flashing warm smiles, the couple radiated affection and closeness, drawing praise from fans for their unwavering bond over the past decade.
Known for his healthy lifestyle, Park Ji-sung has reportedly encouraged his wife to join him in exercising regularly. Kim Min-ji’s post suggests he’s finally won her over—a small but sweet victory in their marriage journey.
A Storied Career and Love Life
Kim Min-ji began her broadcasting career in 2010 as a sports announcer for KBS N and later joined SBS as part of its 17th open recruitment. She became a familiar face on shows such as “Live Today”, “Football Magazine Goal!” and “Capture the Moment How is that Possible”.
In 2014, she left SBS and married football legend Park Ji-sung. The couple has two children: daughter Yeon-woo, born in November 2015, and son Seon-woo, born in February 2018. They currently reside in London, UK.
Park Ji-sung, a central figure in South Korea’s historic 2002 World Cup semifinal run and the first Korean to play in the English Premier League, officially retired from football on May 14, 2014. At a press conference held at the Park Ji-sung Football Center in Suwon, he said, “My knee condition won’t allow me to continue another season. Though my journey as a footballer ends, I’ll now think about how to return the love I’ve received.”
This latest moment shared by the couple reminds fans not only of Park’s achievements on the field but of the deep and steady love that continues to define his life off the pitch.
