You probably know this very attractive couple as one of the many embodiments of #RelationshipGoals at Crystal. With their perfect smiles, beautiful babies, and inspiring faith, you could say they have it all.

We wanted to know what goes on behind the scenes outside of church, and were super blessed in the exchange. Get to know Monica and Kiyoung  — two devoted parents who share a big 'ole heart for food, wanderlust, and doing great things for Christ.


Daniel: How would you describe yourselves in three words?

Monica: Can we describe each other?

Crystal: Yeah, that’s fine. We can start with you (Kiyoung), What three words describe Monica?

[Long pause]

M: You’d think after ten years it comes faster. [laughs] We’re both like ‘hmm’ [laughs]

I think I got his. I’ll give him more time. So, I think for Kiyoung, he’s very dedicated to whatever it is. Whether it’s faith, as a friend, serving church. And then, I would say ... he’s very sincere. And I don’t think people know this, but he’s very funny.

D: Funny in what way?

M: Just as a jokester. Sarcastic, witty comments. It just comes out in conversation and when he feels comfortable with people. We have a lot of funny inside jokes.

Kiyoung: (Back to the original question) I would say, she’s very ambitious. And she is uh, what’s the word … [long pause]

[both laugh]

Organized. What’s another word for organized?

M: A planner.

K: Yeah, a planner.

D: Do you manage everything?

M: A little bit. You kinda have to. Kids’ schedules. Family stuff. Someone’s gotta play that role. It’s in my DNA. Type A personality.
