Kim Nam Joo was born on May 10, 1971 in Seoul, South Korea. Possessing a luxurious and seductive appearance, many people mistakenly believe that Kim Nam Joo is a "golden spoon" beauty, who grew up in wealth.

In fact, she did have a time of living in luxury, but her father soon made a loss, causing the family to face many difficulties, Kim Nam Joo even had to live with relatives. There was a time when her family was so poor that there was no money to buy rice and had to live on social assistance.

Discovering that her father used to play a supporting role in a number of dramas, Kim Nam Joo nurtured a passion for art but did not dare to do it because she had to work hard to make a living. As soon as she graduated from high school, she went to work as an office worker in the ward committee but soon quit because she realized she was not suitable for this job.

Still keeping her passion for art, she decided to enroll in a cram school to prepare for the entrance exam at the dance department of Suwon Girls' School. In the second year of university, she boldly registered for the Miss Gyeonggi contest and excellently won the first place. This is the turning point that made the poor girl take her first steps into the entertainment industry.

Loved to act, but because she was known through a beauty contest, in the early years of her career, Kim Nam Joo was mainly invited to be a model on fashion catwalks. It was not until 1994 that she had the courage to participate in the SBS talent search contest and excellently took fourth place, officially becoming an actress.

With a new role, Kim Nam Joo also began to perfect her beauty with the impact of cutlery. She is willing to admit that she is more beautiful than because of her aesthetics, and because of this, she is known as one of the icons of the Korean entertainment industry. With perfect beauty and impressive acting, Kim Nam Joo continuously starred and achieved success in series such as Model, Boss, Wedding Dress, My Wife Is No.

The popularity brought Kim Nam Joo countless advertising contracts with expensive salaries. During 10 consecutive years since becoming famous, Kim Nam Joo has always had the leading advertising revenue in showbiz. She became the queen of advertising to help products "sold out" in a very short time.

The fate of the "Queen of advertising" with the man has passed once

In 2005, after 2 years of dating, Kim Nam Joo suddenly announced her marriage to actor Kim Seung Woo to the surprise of many people. The source is because the two love each other very secretly. Before the announcement of the marriage, Kim Seung Woo and Kim Nam Joo's dating was very secret.

Not only that, before joining the same house, Kim Seung Woo and Kim Nam Joo had never had a joint project. However, fate and love are inherently strange things.

Kim Nam Joo and Kim Seung Woo met through a mutual friend, Yoo Ho Jung. It was Yoo Ho Jung who "matched" her best friend for the friend she had the opportunity to work with in the movie - Kim Seung Woo after seeing that both friends had too many similarities.

Of course, at the beginning, Yoo Ho Jung never thought that the final ending would be the wedding because Kim Nam Joo was a reserved person and afraid to love. During the first gatherings, Kim Seung Woo was especially attracted to Kim Nam Joo.

And Kim Nam Joo was also quickly attracted by Kim Seung Woo's calm, experienced and extremely responsible. Two lonely hearts have come together like that.

The marriage story of Kim Nam Joo and Kim Seung Woo initially received mixed reactions from the public. Many people think that Kim Seung Woo is not worthy of Kim Nam Joo because he has experienced a marriage with actress Lee Mi Yeon. It is known that Kim Seung Woo and Lee Mi Yeon divorced in 2000 because they could not find a common voice.

Many fans of Kim Nam Joo are concerned that this scenario will be repeated for their idol.

However, overcoming everyone's doubts, Kim Nam Joo and Kim Seung Woo still decided to stick their lives together in a wedding with the presence of a large number of friends and many blessings. That day, the wedding of Kim Nam Joo and Kim Seung Woo became the hottest entertainment event in Korean showbiz at that time when it gathered a series of guests full of A-list stars. The most popular among them was Jang Dong Won. , Bae Jong Joon, Park Shin Yang, Choi Ji Woo, Shin Ae Ra...

17 years of husband and wife, devote all their love to cherish the marriage

Nearly a year after marriage, Kim Nam Joo gave birth to her first daughter, Kim Seung Woo. On Pann and Daum, many rumors confirmed that Nam Joo had a child with another man, and Kim Seung Woo was the replacement. Later, Kim Seung Woo once confided: "I was very sad when my biological daughter was rumored to be not my child. Did a broken man not deserve happiness?".

And Kim Nam Joo responded to the public, "No matter what challenges we face, the love between me and Seung Woo is still strong."

After this, the couple continued to welcome the appearance of their second child. Their marriage is considered a happy symbol of Korean showbiz, admired by many people.

Becoming a wife and then a mother, Kim Nam Joo is forced to choose between being a family woman or a working woman. And in the end, Kim Nam Joo's love for family is greater than all. She turned down movie scripts and advertising contracts to spend time taking care of her children and nurturing her family. It was not until later when the two were older that Kim Nam Joo gradually returned to advertising contracts or brand representation.

For his part, Kim Seung Woo always feels grateful because Kim Nam Joo and two little angels have shown him what family is. An incomplete marriage with Lee Mi Yeon made Kim Seung Woo doubtful about marriage and love. Perhaps because of that, Kim Seung Woo appreciates what he owns even more.

Like many couples, Kim Nam Joo and Kim Seung Woo have had many "cash bowls and chopsticks" occasions. Kim Nam Joo once shared, she and her husband are both strong personalities, everyone has their own ego. Even Kim Nam Joo herself has never admitted to being wrong in arguments. There are many times, they are so angry with each other that they think they can divorce tomorrow.

However, fortunately they did not let go of each other's hands even when the conflict reached the extreme. When they are in conflict, they sit back and look at the difficult days that have passed, look back at the love memories that both have and then appreciate each other more.

Kim Nam Joo and Kim Seung Woo once admitted that they have been husband and wife for 17 years, but they are still learning how to be a good wife and husband, learning how to build a perfect marriage. Even, they learn to accept the opponent even the ugliest things. They realize that in a marriage, both must learn to apologize and be tolerant.

Perhaps that's why, during those 17 years, Kim Nam Joo and Kim Seung Woo never forgot to do romantic things for each other. To this day, they still keep the habit of sending letters to each other if they have to go away somewhere.

In the show Mr. House Husband of KBS, Seung Woo also shared the secret to keeping the "fire" of marriage, which is to not hide anything from each other, talk every day and frankly point out the unsatisfactory points about the other person to correct.

Kim Nam Joo and Kim Seung Woo themselves once admitted that for celebrity couples, signing the divorce papers is much easier than overcoming difficulties together to be together for the rest of their lives. .
