The President recollected in an interview with a media that it was the First Lady who asked for his hand in marriage. “One day, I was with my friends when she suddenly came up to me and asked, ‘Jae-in, will you marry me or not?’ I was thrown back and answered yes in reflex,” Moon had said. The ‘cute’ anecdote was widely spread online amongst his supporters.
