Tiger JK, “The First Time I Met My Wife Yoonmirae Gave Me Goosebumps”

On January 3rd, Tiger JK appeared in the recent broadcasting of KBS 2TV ‘Win Win’ and stated, “A friend made me listen to a song by Yoonmirae. At first I was shocked. She was so good that listening to her made me want to quit hip-hop.” 

He continued, “I forgot about it and lived my own life for a while until I met my father coincidently at a convenience store. Here he saw and approached someone who he thought I might be interested in.” 

“My father praised to me about this girl, who coincidently turns out to be Yoonmirae. I forgot about her again, but after a long time I met her once again at a [recording] studio. This incidence gave me goosebumps”, Tiger JK revealed. 

Later in the show, Tiger JK’s father and Korean pop columnist Suh Byung Hoo made a surprise appearance and explained the situation in detail. 

Suh revealed, “When I saw Yoonmirae at the convenience store, I told her: I know someone who can be seen as hip-hop’s Che Guevara, someone who is on a mission to create and spread Korean hip-hop. That someone is my son, Tiger JK.” 

Show MC Tak Jaehoon asked, “So you were considering her as your future daughter-in-law at the time?” and Suh replied, “Yes, that is true. I was so happy when the two began dating.”

Tiger JK proposed to Yoon Mirae with a yellow rubber band

Yoon Mirae recently talked about her unique engagement and wedding to her husband, Tiger JK. 

The singer guest-starred on the January 3rd episode of KBS 2TV’s ‘Win Win‘ and revealed, “We had a quiet wedding at a Buddhist temple with our families.” 

She had told Tiger JK that she did not need a flashy engagement ring. Thinking back, he remarked, ”A lot of people told me she was lying, but I think she was serious.” 

The couple did not wear a traditional wedding dress or a formal tuxedo, and instead of wedding rings, they used yellow rubber bands. 

“When I proposed, I told her I would replace her rubber band later on,” Tiger JK explained. 

“I was so touched that I cried. He felt so bad and he promised to replace the rubber band with a diamond ring, but I didn’t need anything like that. We bought a fake ring for the wedding,” Yoon Mirae remarked. 

When the MCs told Tiger JK to keep his promise and buy his wife a diamond ring, Yoon Mirae added, “He doesn’t need to keep his promise. I asked him to buy me a house instead,” which caused everyone to explode in laughter.

Recently during a filming of KBS 'Win Win', Tiger JK and Tasha made their appearances as the first guests of the year. On this day, the couple received all the attention of the studio by revealing their sweet memories of dating and marriage. 

On this day Tiger JK stated "One day I earned $150 from performing somewhere then used $100 on taxi to meet Tasha", surprising the studio. Tiger JK continued "To get to where she lived I was asking around in the taxi for few hours. So I used $100 on the taxi when it should have only cost $20" and "When I got to her house all I did was call on the public phone and then come home. Tasha's mother was very strict so it was hard to meet at night time. I even tried to get in her house through the dog door but the door was so small that I failed", making the audience burst into laughter. 

Tasha continued, "Oppa helped me a lot whenever I was going through a tough time. Seeing that side of him, my mom grew to love him even more than I. And when she found out that he was living in a difficult situation, she allowed him to live with us", revealing how the two started living together even before marriage.
