On yesterday’s airing of the variety show, “Golden Fishery”, Kwon Sang Woo explained the catalyst to his marriage.
“Getting Son Tae Young pregnant before marriage was my intention, she was kept in the dark all along. I’m the ‘mastermind’. There were rumours claiming that I was forced to marry her because she was pregnant. This is definitely not the truth. In fact, it was my wish to marry her that I intentionally made her pregnant.”
What? Huh? Come again? What ever happened to getting down on one knee and proposing? Since when is impregnating a woman the way you go about making sure she stays with you for the rest of your life? I sincerely hope that he was joking, but even if he was joking, it’s not remotely funny. In fact, it’s extremely disturbing. Kwon Sang Woo was never high in my book but he has certainly plummeted to the bottom of my “Respectable Actors” list. In fact, he’s on another one now, it’s my “Freaking Nutjobs” list. Kwon also talked about how sad he was that people were criticizing his marriage. Well, I didn’t care that you were married but now I’m a bit put off by the act that you intended to impregnate her so that you could then marry her. Not only is it nuts, it makes absolutely no sense.

Wow…some people are desperate. I kind of feel bad for the wife now…she’s bound to be upset now that she knows that.
ewww he is weird
That is very disturbing. I’ve never been a fan of him, especially not after hearing about his lack of devotion (not sure that’s the word I want to use) to an acting role. Like, wasn’t he in contention for this role in movie? But, the character is supposed to suffer from a debilitating disease and that meant that KSW had to lose his muscles or whatever? And he refused and dropped out? Pfft. He’s hardly an actor devoted to his craft.
Out of curiosity, who else is on your list?
That is not funny and borderline creepy, impregnanting someone so they can marry you? Eww… he didn’t have to be that desperate. There’s plenty of women who would die to be in his bed. Not sure if there’ll be that many now since this interview though o_O
UMM.. Kwon Sang Woo? Have you forgotten who you are? Have you forgotten who she is? You’re an A-list actor and she uses guys as a ladder to fame, of course she would’ve married you. With that said, since both parties were willing I think this is a *smidge* romantic.
whoever translated that makes kwon look really bad but when he explained it in the show, u could tell there was a lot of love.
haha, Steph, Which list?
I think his response is just to take the load off Son Tae Young because of the backlash that might occur if they only got married bc of the baby, because that means they had premarital sex and that’s still kinda a no-no in Korea. (And you KNOW the girl is gonna get the brunt of the criticism.)
BUT of course, being the idiot he is, Kwon Sang Woo just made himself sound like a HUGE creepster.
hahahah whatever ksw.
this is a lame attempt to rescue his wife from all the backlash but its doing the opposite… its making him look like a big idiot
That sounds like abuse
So friggin’ disgusting
Your “freaking nutjob” list! :D
byul1232, even if he said it with a lot of love, that was still a very messed up thing to do. It was a selfish act and yeah it takes 2 to tango, but she probably didn’t want to get pregnant at the time. Pregnancy is not a joke, a woman needs to be prepared for it emotionally, mentally and what he did was definitely wrong no matter how you look at it. If it was an accident, that’s understandable but for him to do it on purpose?
so he trapped her
that all i got from that statement
nutjob indeed
Oh yeah he definitely said that to get the heat off of Son Tae Young. Netizens are absurd but of all the things to say in defense of your marriage? I really don’t think anyone is livid about the premarital sex, Jang Hyuk had a wedding after a baby and no one batted an eyelash (maybe because his wife wasn’t in the limelight).
and my freaking nutjobs list:
Kwon Sang Woo
Kim Hee Chul
Kim Jong Il
Glitter Balls Seungri
Andre Kim
In that order
dude, your nutjob list is hilarious. Haha.
Woman! Take Heechul off!!! Hahahahaahha. LOLOLOLOL.
At least give Heechul a “loveable nutjob” title. LOL
I can move him under kim jong il but that’s the best I can do!
What’d he do then… drug her to impregnate her?!
God, even though he said it to protect his wifey, it just makes him look like a total creeper. “I gave her an answer she couldn’t refuse…” ugh. I am creeped out. Thanks, KSW! You’ve officially given me the creeps.
oh wow. he used to look so bomb but now he looks all old :(
I don’t think anyone is livid about premarital sex, but they do still find it taboo. There is a reason why everyone freaked the hell out after that one scene in Coffee Prince showing ‘the morning after.’
And your Jang Hyuk example IS a good example to prove that too — because they don’t know who the wife was, they can’t really attack her for it, and seriously, nobody cares if guys do this crap. Once it’s the girl that’s known, she’s dead.
Premarital sex is a red herring. It’s an excuse to be mad when the only thing people are really pissed about is that Kwon Sang Woo is married. Jealousy is ugly
omg that’s what he meant? KSW=psycho!
BUT, as you guys said, this is korea – so he’s saying extreme things to counter the “STY=undeserving $!*t” abuse.
2 wrongs don’t make a right…but oh well.
WHY can’t he just say:
“We both wanted our own baby very much”, & move on?
now some crazy boy’s gonna think true love is knocking a girl up without her knowledge:P
I agree with daysgoby. He did this to protect his wive. And KSW is a funny guy, like in dry funny.
And his wive will be making her comeback later this year isn’t she? so there’s a carrier to secure. It’s so here in Asia compare to people in the western. woman will called slut when they do this but when it comes to man they just called it natural. Another BS that I want to destroy.
what a loser! just go away KSW, just go…a..w..a..y
And people say romance is dead…
oh well, if he really did it to protect his wife, maybe because he thinks that he has enough star power to last through it whereas his wife doesn’t have enough and would crumble before she made her comeback. so either way, disturbing but kwon sang woo is kinda known to do things on the spur, no? (announcing the marriage suddenly, suddenly dropping a movie that went to kim myung min (good choice btw!)…)
he should’ve just kept his mouth shut. >.< he sounds idiotic.
I don’t thin he’s telling the truth here. He more than likely said it so people with stop screwing with Son Tae Young. I mean, it makes sense. After all the netizens are effing nuts, so they’ll probably think this way is more romantic. >>
So if he is lying to protect his wife, I honestly commend him.
If he is telling the truth…well then, he’s a sick f**k.
Whoo~ I made some grammar mistakes above. Eh, I just woke up so w/e.
*think and *will.
wow.
i have a new view of him,
but congrats cause hes a daddy now :D
best wishes.
crazy…argh seeing him in “Stairway in Heaven”~ soooo different!
Yeah if he was trying to protect her…he just definitely came off as a crazy. And if he was trying to be funny…he still came off as a crazy.
Saying he ‘intentionally got her pregnant’ is one thing, but keeping her in the dark about it? Uhm, how exactly did he manage that? I mean, really think about it. Did he replace her birth control pills with placebos? Poke holes in the condoms? Sex her while she’s sleeping…XD
Aha even though common sense tells me that no, he probably didn’t do any of these and the baby was an oopsie and he’s trying to make light of it…that statement will nevertheless be seen as action-packed full of crazy.
hes trying to protect her.
but what hes saying is weird!
I think he didn’t mean it to be interpreted that way..Maybe he just wanted to stress how much he loves his wife..I’m not his fan but I think he was just misinterpreted, or he just didn’t said it in the “more acceptable” way but for what its worth, I think what he was trying to impart is that he wasn’t forced to marry her, that it was him who really wanted the marriage from the start..perhaps there are still alot of people questioning his sudden marriage..dunno.
omg i watched this episode too and the way he said that was beyond creepy…maybe the words came out wrong, and if it did, he should think twice before talking (considering he’s known for saying things without thinking). the strange part is, he didn’t say this once. he repeated it several times throughout the show! that screams CRAZY! according to my book.
He might wanna protect Son Taeyoung’s name or whatever, but it just comes across like he’s a creepy asshole, lol..
i certainly don’t understand what’s happening to this man..seriously, everything about their relationship is a lie. Kwon Sang Woo, the hearthrob could fall for any, decent, single, successful woman…but why HER?? Now, he’s justifying what he’s done to save his face, his pride and his career. You can’t fool everyone here..he’s a gonner..too bad..what a waste of talent…
WTF? Ok dude, i do not like you one bit.
wow. he ruined everything he ever had with those words.
just to save STY’s face.
what a shame.
[...] Kwon Sang Woo [...]
All I can say is … I hate his HAIR!!!
Whatever his meaning is, his words come across as disappointing, especially since the characters he portrays in his dramas are so idealistic with love.
He should choose his words more carefully, or just say NO COMMENT, THAT IT’S OUR PRIVATE LIFE.
That said, it’s unfair to subject them to too much scrutiny. Let us appreciate the job they do as actors and actresses, and give them space in their private life.
What you did is wrong in the eyes of God and Man but KSW, you are still one of my best actors.
