Kim Dae-ho Opens Up About Marriage and Family Changes: From “Marriage Funeral” to Simple Grave Visits!

Entertainer Kim Dae-ho candidly spoke about his changing family atmosphere and his thoughts on marriage. Kim Dae-ho’s family, which previously gained attention for their image as a “large ancestral rite family,” has now changed significantly.

Appearing on the Malza Show on the 11th, Kim Dae-ho spoke openly about everything from his ideal type and views on marriage to the changes in his family dynamics.

Regarding his ideal type, Kim Dae-ho stated, “I think of a girlfriend as a ‘number 0’ friend,” adding, “I like someone who is like a friend, where we both have firm hobbies and lives of our own, yet can rely on each other as the closest people.” He also sparked laughter by honestly admitting, “Visually, I like a glamorous style.”

A female announcer junior, who is currently active abroad, appeared in the audience. MC Malza, noting that “some people like partners they can’t see often,” seated the two next to each other. Amid reactions that they “look good together,” the junior showed an active interest by sending a finger heart. When their 12-year age difference was revealed, Kim Dae-ho made the crowd erupt in laughter, joking, “Ah… I think it’s just right.”

What caught the most attention was the change in his family atmosphere. He calmly shared, “These days, my parents nag me, asking when I’ll meet a good partner and get married,” but added, “Actually, the nagging only lasts for a moment. Eventually, there comes a time when you can’t hear it even if you want to. I believe it’s ultimately for my own good.”

Then, Malza attempted a surprise phone call with Kim Dae-ho’s mother. When asked, “You want your son to get married, right?” his mother answered without hesitation, “He must,” which brought laughter to the set. Kim Dae-ho also mentioned the large-scale ancestral rite culture he previously revealed on ‘I Live Alone,’ which had led some viewers to react by calling it a “marriage funeral.”

Regarding this, Kim Dae-ho explained, “In the past, we prepared large ancestral tables on special days, but now the formalities have mostly disappeared. Now, it feels more like just a day for the family to gather.” He laughed, saying things changed after “getting burned,” and added that they have now “agreed on just visiting ancestral graves.”
