Korean celebs 'blessed with successful wives' — who's No. 1?

The Korea Times reported on an episode of KBS 2TV's entertainment show "Problem Child in House," where comedian Kim Sook jokingly named four Korean celebrities as husbands blessed with successful wives. The list included Dr. Hong Hye-gul, film director Jang Hang-jun, singer Lee Sang-soon, and former KBS announcer-turned-TV personality Do Kyung-wan.

Kim Sook highlighted Hong Hye-gul's status as one of the four "kings of husbands blessed with wifely luck," alongside Jang Hang-jun, Lee Sang-soon, and Do Kyung-wan.
