The popular singer and actress Son Dam Bi recently expressed her feelings about her relationship with her in-laws in an honest and calm way, in contrast with what is typically expected in such situations after marrying into another family. During her recent guest appearance on a YouTube show, she addressed any conflicts with her extended families.
Son was featured in a video on Jang Sung Kyu's YouTube channel together with actress Jung Mi Nyeo, and the mention of spousal relationship interaction was brought up by Kim Ki Hyuk when he asked the guests about any occurrences that create conflict in relations with in-laws.

In response to the question, Son Dam Bi first made clear that conflict has not been an issue in her marriage. She said, "Neither my husband nor I have that." She then elaborated on the nature of her relationship with her parents-in-law, explaining, "My parents-in-law aren't interested in me."
She went on to clarify the background behind that dynamic, noting, "That's because both of them were athletes. My father-in-law was a speed skating athlete, and my mother-in-law was a figure skating athlete." Son's explanation suggested that her in-laws' personalities and life experiences may contribute to a more independent and hands-off family relationship.
Her remarks were met with a positive reaction from fellow guest Jung Mi Nyeo. Responding to Son's description of her family situation, Jung commented, "That's great," openly expressing envy over the absence of pressure or conflict.
AllKpop reported that Son's comments stood out for their honesty and simplicity, as discussions about in-law relationships in South Korea are often framed around expectations of frequent contact or emotional closeness. Instead, Son portrayed a relationship defined by mutual independence and respect rather than obligation.
The appearance also drew attention on Korean portal sites, where Naver users highlighted Son Dam Bi's relaxed attitude toward family boundaries after marriage. Some viewers interpreted her comments as a refreshing reminder that harmonious relationships can take many forms and do not always require constant interaction.
Son Dam Bi, who married former speed skater Lee Kyu Hyuk, has occasionally shared glimpses of her personal life since her marriage but has largely maintained privacy around family matters. Her recent comments offered a rare insight, resonating with audiences who appreciated her straightforward approach.
