A lighthearted tale about a domestic spat between Epik High’s Tablo and actress Kang Hye-jung surfaced on a recent broadcast, drawing laughs. The couple—long celebrated for their romantic image—caught viewers off guard with this unexpectedly blunt moment.
On a recent variety show, Kang candidly recounted a rare argument with her husband, Tablo. When host Kim Jae-joong asked, "Don't couples argue at least once?" she replied, "I’ve never gone through life without arguing. We have argued, but it’s very rare."
When Kim quipped, "Do you hit Tablo? Is he used to being hit?" Kang responded with a laugh, "I don't hit him — but I did throw something once," before dropping a bombshell: "It wasn't light."
She revealed she’d thrown an espresso machine. "I threw it in anger, and Tablo ran straight to a friend's house, saying, 'She's going to kill me,'" she reenacted. The heavy appliance—and the force behind it—clearly rattled him.
Kang then joked, "I almost made him a widower," prompting uproarious laughter in the studio. Cast members were stunned — it was a far cry from her usual calm, elegant persona.
Tablo and Kang married in 2009 and have a daughter, Haru. The pair often share romantic moments on social media and are regarded as one of Korea's most beloved celebrity couples. This anecdote, however, offered a refreshingly grounded glimpse into their married life, making them feel even more relatable.
