Understand our opinions? Well my opinion is that it is ridiculous, and so incredibly annoying, that you keep referring to the man as "Park Min-Young's ex boyfriend" - as if he were some sort of possession of hers. This, especially when we all know that it was possibly the other way around. She was his possession. Why else in the world a pretty, incredibly hot actress like her, would want to hook up with an older, not too physically-appealing dude if not for the money? Just call the man by his name already, and enough with all the fanfare, will ya?
