Singer Ailee recently shared a heartfelt and humorous story about her marriage to reality show star Choi Si Hun on the variety program Same Bed, Different Dreams 2. The couple tied the knot earlier this year, and during the show, Ailee revealed that her decision to marry him was solidified by what she calls the “cockroach incident.”
Ailee explained that although her husband is extremely afraid of bugs to the point of tears, she is also easily frightened. One day, when a cockroach suddenly appeared in their home, neither of them wanted to deal with it. She recalled that they kept asking each other to catch it, both clearly terrified.
In the end, despite being visibly scared and even crying, Choi Si Hun gathered the courage to catch the cockroach himself. Ailee said that witnessing him overcome his fear for her deeply moved her. In that moment, she realized that he was someone who would face difficult or frightening situations for her sake, no matter how hard they might be. That realization convinced her he was the right person to marry.
The couple’s story, from the tearful cockroach encounter to supporting each other through malicious online comments, brought laughter and warmth to viewers, highlighting the sincerity and strength of their relationship.
