South Korean singer Soyul has voiced her exasperation with her husband, Moon Hee-joon, citing his incessant nagging as a source of conflict in their marriage. Appearing on the SBS reality show 'Same Bed, Different Dreams 2', Soyul likened Moon's behavior to that of a strict teacher or a corporate CEO, making her feel like she was still in training.

Soyul, who married the former H.O.T. member Moon Hee-joon in 2017, highlighted the significant 13-year age difference between them. She expressed that his constant admonishments and directives left her feeling infantilized, questioning if she was still an idol trainee rather than a married adult.

Their appearance on the show aimed to offer viewers a glimpse into their married life, but it has instead revealed underlying tensions related to their differing communication styles and perceived power dynamics within the relationship.
