On October 15, 2025, a surprising video dropped on YouTube, sending ripples of laughter and disbelief through fans of former baseball star Choo Shin-soo and his wife, Ha Won-mi. The video, titled 'Choo Shin-soo's last with the guys,' was uploaded by Ha Won-mi to her official channel, and it showcased a side of the couple that few had ever seen before. What began as a seemingly ordinary day quickly turned into a spectacle of shock, humor, and a little bit of marital mischief—leaving viewers glued to their screens and social media abuzz.
The premise was simple, but the execution was anything but ordinary. Ha Won-mi, known for her candid and playful online presence, decided to orchestrate what she called a 'dramatic change.' According to Insight, she set out to surprise her husband with a bold new look, aiming to see how he would react to her transformation. "I wanted to try a dramatic change and go on a date like that," she explained in the video, brimming with excitement and a touch of mischief. She didn’t hold back on the details, either: "I'm going to wear fishnet stockings, get piercings, even pierce my nose and lips, and get tattoos. Where else is there a YouTuber in her 40s like me?" she boasted, her confidence shining through.
The video production team, perhaps sensing the potential for chaos, offered a tongue-in-cheek warning before the video began. They advised Choo Shin-soo, "If you are feeling emotionally vulnerable, we strongly recommend you do not watch this video." That little disclaimer only added fuel to the anticipation, setting the stage for what was to come.
As the day unfolded, Ha Won-mi meticulously prepared her new look. She donned a bleached wig, an off-shoulder outfit, fishnet stockings, fake piercings, and temporary tattoos. The transformation was so complete that when Choo Shin-soo arrived at their agreed-upon meeting spot, he didn’t even recognize his wife at first. It was only after a moment of confusion that realization dawned—and with it, a cascade of reactions that had both the couple and viewers in stitches.
Choo Shin-soo’s response was immediate and unfiltered. According to Star News, he recoiled in shock, exclaiming over the phone, "Hey, are you crazy? Fishnet stockings?" He was so taken aback that he kept his distance, opting for a phone call rather than a face-to-face conversation. His bewilderment was palpable as he continued, "What are you doing? Get a grip. I don’t think this is it. You look like someone who ran away from home." His reaction, a mix of concern and incredulity, only intensified the comedic undertone of the entire setup.
The encounter didn’t end there. As Ha Won-mi approached, Choo Shin-soo’s discomfort grew. He asked, "Did you really walk all the way here like that? Are you out of your mind?" His words, though sharp, drew laughter from those watching. The couple negotiated a truce: they would start their date only if Ha Won-mi agreed to remove the fishnet stockings. Yet, even after this concession, Choo Shin-soo was left rattled by the sight of her fake piercings and tattoos, prompting another round of disbelief.
Ha Won-mi, never one to shy away from a playful challenge, pressed her husband further. "Don’t you love me like this?" she asked, feigning disappointment. Choo Shin-soo’s reply was blunt but laced with affection: "It’s just a joke, so I’ll accept it. But if this were real, of course I wouldn’t like it." The exchange highlighted the couple’s dynamic—playful, honest, and rooted in a deep familiarity that only years together can bring.
As the laughter subsided, Ha Won-mi couldn’t help but ask, "Aren’t the piercings pretty?" To which Choo Shin-soo, still half in disbelief, responded, "Mother, please come to your senses." The moment, captured in the video and later reported by Insight and Star News, quickly became a talking point among fans and followers, who praised the couple’s humor and transparency.
But beneath the surface of pranks and playful banter, there was a glimpse into the emotional landscape of the couple’s relationship. Ha Won-mi revealed that Choo Shin-soo appeared tired during the shoot, but he still managed to smile and engage with sincerity. She noted that he was emotionally affected by the experience, showing a side of himself that was both vulnerable and genuine. "He looked tired but still smiled, and he was sincere and emotional during the filming," she shared, offering fans a rare look at the man behind the public persona.
The video also featured scenes of Choo Shin-soo relaxing with friends, playing poker, and chatting—a reminder that, despite the whirlwind of public attention, the couple leads a life filled with ordinary moments and simple joys. The juxtaposition of lighthearted mischief and authentic emotion resonated with viewers, many of whom saw reflections of their own relationships in the couple’s playful exchanges.
Choo Shin-soo and Ha Won-mi’s story is one that has unfolded in the public eye for years. Married in 2004, they are parents to two sons and a daughter, and their partnership has weathered the ups and downs of a life lived in the spotlight. The latest YouTube episode, while lighthearted on the surface, offered a window into the enduring bond that holds them together—one built on trust, humor, and a willingness to embrace the unexpected.
As social media buzzed with reactions and memes, it was clear that the video had struck a chord. Fans praised Ha Won-mi’s boldness and Choo Shin-soo’s candid, if occasionally flustered, responses. The episode became a testament to the power of laughter and the importance of not taking oneself too seriously, even when the world is watching.
In the end, what could have been a simple prank became a celebration of individuality, love, and the unpredictable moments that make life—and marriage—so endlessly entertaining. For Choo Shin-soo and Ha Won-mi, this playful episode was just another chapter in a story that continues to captivate and amuse, reminding us all that sometimes, the best way to weather life’s surprises is with a sense of humor and an open heart.
