Susan Elder, 33, the Korean-American wife of Korean K-9 specialist Kang Hyung-wook, described her husband as the “hottest Asian guy” she has met, on KBS2 reality show “The Return of Superman” Sunday.

“I have been caring for my dog, Chelsea, since I was in the U.S.,” Elder said in Korean. “While I was looking for a gathering to walk my dog in Korea, I bumped into my husband.”

Dubbing Kang the hottest Asian guy she had met, she said they began living together after going out only three times.

“It was about 15 days after our first encounter,” said Elder.

Kang, 33, who appeared on EBS1's “There Is No Such Thing as Bad Dog,” gained popularity for helping dogs or their owners in trouble.

He stars in a reality show with his wife and six-month-old son.
