Former AOA member Chanmi, now promoting as Im Do Hwa, has given fans a refreshingly honest look at her married life, revealing that she and her actor husband share a home and a bed but live more like roommates than newlyweds.

The candid moment came in a video uploaded on October 23 to the YouTube channel of fellow former idol Cao Lu, where the two friends chatted openly about dating, marriage and the realities of life after the wedding.
During the conversation, Cao Lu invited Chanmi to visit Beijing and offered to pick her up, prompting Chanmi to ask whether she would still be welcome if she brought her husband along. The exchange quickly turned playful, with Cao Lu joking that she had thick skin, before the talk moved to a more personal question about married life.
Chanmi Opens Up About Married Life With Her Husband
Asked whether she still sleeps in the same bed as her husband, Chanmi confirmed that they do, but explained that their nights together are quiet and practical rather than romantic. In her words, the couple simply sleeps side by side, without much physical affection, a description that immediately caught fans off guard.
Chanmi went on to compare marriage with dating, suggesting that the butterflies of the early days naturally settle down once a couple is married. She advised her friend to enjoy the romantic stage while dating, because married life, in her experience, feels very different once the two of you share a home, a routine and a daily life.
Cao Lu admitted she had been curious about how marriages change over time, noting that some of her married friends now sleep in separate rooms after a few years, sometimes because of snoring. Chanmi laughed off that worry, pointing out a very practical reason why separate rooms are not an option for her household.
Why Separate Rooms Are Not an Option for Chanmi
Chanmi explained that her home simply is not big enough for the couple to sleep apart, even if they wanted to. With no spare room to retreat to, sharing a bedroom is a necessity as much as a choice, and she delivered the detail with the same easy humour that has made her a fan favourite since her AOA days.
The clip is the latest in a run of personal updates from Chanmi, who married her actor husband after a relationship that began with an awkward first meeting and grew into a romance fans have followed closely. Her willingness to talk about the unglamorous side of marriage, from shared beds to small homes, has struck a chord with viewers who say it feels far more relatable than the picture-perfect newlywed image often shown online.
For fans, the takeaway was not drama but honesty. Chanmi and her husband are still very much together, still sharing a home and a bed, just living the quieter, more ordinary version of married life that rarely makes headlines. And if her joking advice to Cao Lu is anything to go by, she would not trade the dating butterflies for anything, but she is clearly comfortable with where married life has taken her.
