Hyun Bin expresses his views on marriage and parenthood

Zzanbro is a Korean variety show hosted by popular comedians Shin Dong-yup and Jung Ho-chul. During the show, the guests and the hosts engage in various conversational topics over some drinks.

Actor Hyun Bin recently appeared in this alongside his co-star Jeon Yeo-been, where he opened up about his personal life and his role as a husband and father. He shared insights into his relationship with his celebrity wife, Son Ye-jin, also his co-star in the hit drama Crash Landing on You.

The actor recounted their initial interactions, explaining how they felt a strong connection that ultimately led them to become life partners. After tying the knot, the couple welcomed their son within a year of marriage. Reflecting on fatherhood, Hyun Bin shared a heartfelt perspective:

"People often say that men gradually become more mature when they’re dating, when they get married, and when they have a child. It feels like my existence is slowly moving to the background. When you’re dating, you’re on equal footing in a way, but when you get married, you take a step back.

He continued,

And when a child is born, you step back even further, finding yourself in a position where you have to protect something. I wondered if that’s why people say you become more of an adult as you gradually let go of yourself.”

The actor also revealed about his visits to the postpartum care center.

“Back then, when I wasn’t filming, because my wife was in the postpartum care center, I would go there without fail.”

When asked who their son resembles more, he revealed with a smile that their child looks like his wife, Son Ye-jin.

His words touched the fans, who praised his vulnerability and dedication to his family. He admitted that fatherhood required him to adjust his priorities and embrace new responsibilities.

This interview comes as the star gears up for the release of his latest film, Harbin, which marks his return to the historical drama genre after 13 years. Fans eagerly anticipate his performance and admire how he balances his career with his roles as a husband and father.

Hyun Bin's candid revelations have further endeared him to his fans, who continue to support him both on and off the screen.
