Fans may dream of marrying a k-drama star, but there's one challenge that an actor's spouse must face that most spouses never need to think about. The actor's mate must occasionally watch their husband or wife engaging in some steamy skinship with another attractive star.

On a recent broadcast of "Lee So Ra's Music Plaza," singer Baek Ji Young was asked if she got jealous watching her husband Jung Suk Won in skinship scenes.

She said it did not happen right away.

"At first I didn't think anything of it," she said. "But then all of a sudden when Jung Suk Won was acting, his touch seemed so tender. That's when I got jealous."

The other woman in that scene was singer-turned-actress Uee and the drama was "Ojakgyo Brothers."

"It was just a scene where he placed his hand on her shoulder, but his touch looked so tender," she said. But she promised not to hold a grudge and be nice to Uee the next time she saw her.

If two k-drama actors marry, it's likely that they will watch each other's dramas and that may include some romantic scenes. Ji Sung said he was okay watching Lee Bo Young's kiss scenes during the filming of "I Hear Your Voice." He even said he got excited by the drama's love story and wanted her character to kiss Lee Jong Suk's character.

"Since we're both actors we understand," he said.

But his "Secrets" co-star Hwang Jung Eum was not so lucky. Her boyfriend singer Kim Yong Joon got upset when he saw her kiss Ji Sung onscreen. He was mad at her for not warning him and made her promise to tell him when one of her kiss scenes came up.

At a press conference for the time traveling fusion saeguk "Faith: The Great Doctor," actress Kim Hee Sun said her husband Park Joo Young was jealous of her co-star Lee Min Ho.

"At first when my husband found out that Lee Min Ho was cast in the drama, he was very jealous," she said. "Lee Min Ho is younger than my husband and very good looking, so I think he was jealous."

But he must have come to terms with the fact that he was married to an actress and skinship was just part of the job

"I think my husband gave up," she said. "Now he is a fan of Lee Min Ho and the cast of the drama."
