Japanese top model Shiho Yano discussed her international marriage to martial artist Choo Sung-hoon and the reasons behind her mother’s decision not to oppose their relationship during an appearance on KBS 2TV’s variety program “New Release Convenience Store,” sportschosun.com reported.
Maternal Approval Rooted in Personal Experience
Shiho Yano sat down with her mother on the February 2 broadcast to discuss family history and her marriage. When asked why she did not object to her daughter marrying internationally, Shiho Yano’s mother stated that it was because Shiho loved the person.

According to sportschosun.com, the mother decided to offer her blessing instead of resistance so that her daughter would own the outcome.
