Yoon Kyun-jin♥So Yi-hyun “Marriage Announcement to Both Families on the Day of Reunion” ‘Whirlwind Romance’
Actor Yoon Kyun-jin appeared on MBC’s entertainment show ‘Radio Star’ and captivated viewers with his delightful yet sincere stories.
In the episode airing on June 4, titled ‘Capturing Women’s Hearts~’, Yoon Kyun-jin, Ji Seung-hyun, Taei, and Heo Kyung-hwan will showcase their charms.
On this day’s broadcast, Yoon Kyun-jin shared various stories about his acting career, married life, and recent trot music challenge, attracting attention.
Yoon Kyun-jin humorously remarked about the characters he portrayed, saying, “I wasn’t 2% lacking, I was 90% lacking,” displaying self-deprecating humor.
Known for roles like an incompetent trot singer in ‘Oh! Samkwang Villa’, a clumsy unemployed husband in ‘Strange Woman’, and a character inexplicably divorced in ‘The Village: Achiara’s Secret’, he introduced himself as a “specialist in comical characters.”
However, beneath that, lies a delicate acting skill that brings out the humanity of the characters he portrays.
He mentioned a scene in the drama ‘Let the Girl Cry’ where he was slapped by Kim Jung-eun and his nose bled, jokingly saying, “I got slapped by almost every actor in that production.”
Even in repeated humiliating roles, he never let go of his responsibility and dedication to the characters he played, leaving a lasting impression on viewers in various supporting roles.
He particularly highlighted ‘Baek Hee Has Returned’ as a turning point in his acting career, expanding his range by portraying a character with a strong rural swagger.
He also recalled his experience during ‘The Full Sun’ days, mentioning, “During script readings, facing Choi Bool-am, Kim Hye-ja, and Go Doo-shim felt like a kid attending an English kindergarten among natIVE speakers,” showing his humility.
His love story with his wife So Yi-hyun was as attention-grabbing as his acting career.
A joking promise in their 20s to “marry if both are single” led to their actual marriage.
After a sudden confession in front of friends, So Yi-hyun cut off contact briefly, but they reconnected six months later and promised to marry.
The ‘whirlwind romance’ that immediately informed both families of their marriage brought laughter and tears to the scene.
Even after marriage, he has expressed abundant affection for his wife.
Especially, the handwritten letters and flower bouquet event he prepared for the now forty-year-old So Yi-hyun left a warm impression on viewers.
The story of So Yi-hyun shedding tears of emotion in an underground parking lot is a testament to his sincerity.
Recently, he embarked on a new challenge through the entertainment show ‘Handsome Trot.’
Appearing with Choo Sung-hoon, Jang Hyuk, and others, he expressed, “The stage atmosphere felt like ‘Physical: 100’,” but his sincere singing and enjoyment on stage showed viewers another side of Yoon Kyun-jin’s charm.
Especially, his rendition of Noel’s ‘Proposal’ on the final stage captivated the hearts of housewife fans.
As an actor, a husband, and a challenger, Yoon Kyun-jin’s 26-year journey has been a mix of laughter, sincerity, and steady growth.
