Entrepreneur and fitness content creator JJ has offered comfort to her husband, model and broadcaster Julien Kang, after he lost his wedding ring.

JJ posted a photo of the couple standing side by side on her Instagram account Thursday, writing that "my husband caused a big accident."

"My husband lost his wedding ring — while working out," she wrote. "We're both really upset, but I think posting it here is the only way I can accept it and let it go."

She added that while some might suggest simply getting a new, nicer ring, the memory of the two of them exchanging rings for the first time — full of excitement and happiness — still lingers and makes it hard to move on. "I know an object is just an object and what matters is us," she wrote, "but even today I find myself flipping over the sofa on the off chance it turns up."

JJ said Julien has been visibly devastated. "He's been moping around for months, so of course I can't bring myself to scold him," she wrote. "I still can't believe he actually lost it." She ended with: "Someday this will become a fond memory, right?"

"I thought this was the kind of thing that happened to other couples, not us," she wrote, adding that she takes some comfort in knowing her engagement ring, at least, is still safe. "That would have been a real disaster," she said.

JJ said she fully understands how Julien feels and has been offering endless consolation. The ring never left the house and disappeared within a two-day window, she noted, so there is a good chance it is still somewhere inside — though in the worst case, it may have ended up in the trash. "I've told myself it'll turn up when we move someday, and tried to let it go a little," she wrote.

JJ and Julien Kang married in May 2024.

JJ runs the YouTube channel "JJ Salon de Fit," which has about 1.14 million subscribers. Julien Kang built a following through appearances on the MBC sitcom "Roof Kick" and various entertainment programs.
