The actor further confessed that the SNSD singer's presence in his life is the driving force behind his acting career. He shared that he aims to make her proud and present his best self to her.
He added that Choi Soo-young's happiness is his top priority and her patience has contributed to the success of their relationship. He even playfully remarked that he is a bit of a troublemaker who drinks too much. He stated, as reported by the same publication:
"Aside from acting, what makes me the happiest is Choi Soo-young's happiness. Because we've known each other for a long time and I see her the most. We were able to date for a long time thanks to her patience. I always make mistakes. I don't do that anymore, but I drink a lot and get drunk." (Translated by Google)
Jung Kyung-ho expressed his feelings by stating how important it is to have a life partner with whom one has spent a long time. This becomes even more significant when both share similar goals of becoming successful actors.
For those unversed, the couple announced their relationship publicly in January 2014. Despite maintaining a low-key relationship, Jung Kyung-ho and Choi Soo-young attended a Bruno Mars Concert in July 2023. More recently, they were spotted enjoying a vacation in Australia.
