Jackie Chan confesses of Korean love

JackiechanDuring a press conference at Seoul’s COEX on Thursday, Hong Kong action star Jackie Chan confessed that he had a Korean girlfriend for eight long years.

Asked by a reporter why he seems to have a particular fondness for the Land of the Morning Calm, Chan said that he has good feelings toward the country because he spent time here during the toughest and poorest period of his life. He said his girlfriend of eight years was a Korean, and they used to come back to Korea every year to spend the New Year… just the two of ‘em.

He added that his pleasant memories of Korea, which back then had a night-time curfew, would be with him forever. He also said his girlfriend from that time was now married and living well.

Oh, he also had some very nice things to say about actress/model Kim Hee-seon — who looks cute but possesses arguably the most annoying voice on the planet — and actor Choe Min-su, both of whom star in Chan’s upcoming film, The Myth.
