How supportive is Raffy Tima to wife Mariz Umali? He once went with her to see Ji Chang Wook in Korea


From a scale of 1 to Raffy Tima, how supportive is your husband?

In an episode of "Tunay na Buhay," GMA News journalist Mariz Umali recalled an unforgettable trip to South Korea where she saw Ji Chang Wook and Lee Min Ho in the flesh.

As a proud K-Drama lover, Mariz was among many fans who waited to greet Ji Chang Wook when he finished his mandatory military service in April 2019.

She got to see the handsome "Healer" star in his uniform, and even got a cute video of him waving to his Filipino fans.

If that wasn't kilig enough, this was also the time when "The King: Eternal Monarch" star Lee Min Ho came out of the military, as well.

"The time we came to see Ji Chang Wook was also the time Lee Min Ho was coming out, so we hit two birds with one stone. We really got to see and meet them face to face," Mariz recalled.

The trip was super memorable for Mariz — not just because she met two of the world's most handsome "oppas" — but because her husband and fellow-reporter Raffy Tima was there to support her.

"I was the official photographer and videographer," Raffy said matter-of-factly.

Mariz added, "Yes, imagine: We (fans) were all girls, and he was the only man there."

The couple was also asked which country they would really like to visit when the pandemic is over, and Mariz didn't even need to say a word.

"Malamang, Korea!" Raffy answered.

Mariz Umali and Raffy Tima tied the knot in December 2012.

The two have known each other for 20 years, first as friends until their fellow GMA News Reporter and "Tunay na Buhay" host Pia Arcangel played cupid and brought them together. —Margaret Claire Layug/JCB, GMA News
