“Kim Seung-gyu should pay 10 times as much in taxes” ... Kim Jin-kyung, the “top-model wife” who captivated Japan, appears at the stadium, sending Japanese netizens into a frenzy

[Financial News] “What on earth did he do in a past life to deserve such good fortune? Kim Seung-gyu should pay 10 times as much in taxes right away.”
Soccer fans at home and abroad have been expressing playful envy of South Korean national team goalkeeper Kim Seung-gyu (FC Tokyo). When his wife, top model and broadcaster Kim Jin-kyung, appeared on the pitch, all eyes in Japan turned to her striking beauty.
Japanese soccer publication Soccer Digest reported on the 13th that “Kim Jin-kyung, wife of FC Tokyo’s South Korean national team goalkeeper Kim Seung-gyu, has drawn an enormous response after sharing family photos taken at the stadium,” and gave prominent coverage to her every move.
Here’s what happened. Kim Seung-gyu made his 200th J.League appearance—a major milestone—when he played against Gamba Osaka in Round 7 on September 12. A special ceremony to mark the achievement was held on the pitch before kickoff on the 10th, ahead of the home game against Urawa Reds in Round 9.
But the day’s real “star” was someone else: Kim Seung-gyu’s wife, who walked onto the pitch with a child in her arms to celebrate her husband’s record. Her appearance, showcasing the striking proportions of a top model and dazzling beauty, sent the stadium atmosphere soaring.


On the 12th, Kim Jin-kyung shared a picture-perfect family photo on social media, taken with her husband and child on the pitch. “It was one of the things I wanted to do after getting married,” she said, adding, “I never thought I’d get to see my husband walk into the stadium with a child in his arms so soon,” and shared how deeply moved she was.
She went on to say, “I was so happy that we could celebrate Dad’s 200th J.League appearance together. I think the family photo of the three of us taken at the stadium will remain a cherished memory for a long time,” expressing her deep affection for her husband.
The post quickly became a huge sensation in Japan, too. Japanese fans couldn’t contain their admiration, commenting, “A wife so beautiful she leaves you speechless,” “A perfect family of three who should pay 10 times as much in taxes,” “He has it all—a wife whose beauty rivals that of an actress and an adorable baby,” and “I can only envy Kim Seung-gyu.”
Kim Seung-gyu has been a rock guarding FC Tokyo’s goal on the pitch, and off it, he has the support of a devoted wife and a beautiful family. This charming family has even turned the envious gaze of fans in South Korea and Japan into praise, drawing a wave of interest.
