Son Tae-young shared her apprehension about electric vehicles, stating she lacks the technical expertise to handle them if they break down.

She further elaborated on his tendency to make such decisions unilaterally, noting that while he claims each new car is for her, he ultimately chooses vehicles he wants to drive. "He always says he changed it for Son Tae-young, but in the end, it's the car he wants to drive," she remarked, jokingly adding that he might start changing the house next.

Kwon Sang-woo insisted he had informed his wife before the purchase, but Son Tae-young maintained that it wasn't a proper consultation. The conversation then shifted to a past incident where Kwon Sang-woo was late returning home after the birth of their second child. Son Tae-young recalled feeling anxious when he didn't return by midnight, despite promising to be home earlier. She emphasized that a simple text message would have sufficed. Kwon Sang-woo, however, interpreted her complaint as dissatisfaction with him attending a company dinner rather than a concern about his whereabouts.
