[SBS Star] We Have a Lot in Common Choi Tae Jun Opens Up About His Marriage with Park Shin Hye

Actor Choi Tae Jun talked about his married life with his wife, actress Park Shin Hye. Choi Tae Jun guested on the October 2 broadcast of MBC's talk show 'Radio Star'. During the show, one of the hosts asked Choi Tae Jun to talk about his wedding ceremony, which was graced by a star-studded lineup of celebrities. Before telling the story of his wedding day, Choi Tae Jun expressed his feelings about mentioning his wife on air. Publicly mentioning her is not easy for me since we are both actors. She has a project running, and I'm worried that talking about her like this could distract the viewers. I appreciate people asking me about my wife. It means they're interested in me and want to know more about my life. But I avoid bringing her up unless asked. , the actor remarked. But since you asked... , Choi Tae Jun continued, reminiscing about his wedding ceremony. Lee Hong Gi of K-pop boy band FTISLAND, D.O. of K-pop boy group EXO, singer Crush, and another singer, Lee Juck, sang for us at our wedding. I was so grateful. , he said. Choi Tae Jun recalled how Lee Juck, who usually does not sing at weddings, readily sang one of his all-time hit songs that day and said, It was so moving. What a happy day it was. Choi Tae Jun also addressed the 'fate theory' about him and Park Shin Hye; fans have pointed out the striking resemblance in the lower parts of their faces, claiming that this similarity means the two are meant to be together. My wife and I have a lot in common. I saw how our fans overlapped our pictures, saying the lower halves of our faces seemed to mirror one another. I had never thought about that before, but now I can see the similarities. , he said. Then the actor shyly added, This is my first time really talking about my wife, and I don't know what to say. I'm feeling quite nervous right now. When asked if he and his wife monitor each other's work, Choi Tae Jun said, We don't talk about work together. At home, we only talk about what's happening in the house. When she takes on a new project, I don't read her script in advance to avoid giving advice that might come off as preachy. Still, I love watching her projects as one of the viewers. Most of our conversations are about everyday things like choosing what to eat for our next meal. I root for my wife and hope for her every success. , the actor remarked fondly. Choi Tae Jun revealed he and Park Shin Hye sometimes clash because of their differences. He explained, It's just that I'm type T in the MBTI (personality test) while my partner is type F. I'm the type who focuses on problem-solving, so I tend to be straightforward with those I'm close to. Meanwhile, Choi Tae Jun and Park Shin Hye tied the knot in January 2022.

[SBS Star] House, Cars, and... EXO BAEKHYUN Reveals the Most Lavish Gift He Gave to His Parents

BAEKHYUN of K-pop boy group EXO revealed the expensive presents he gave his parents following his success. On September 5, BAEKHYUN guested on 'Shoot Bro', a spin-off of comedian Shin Dong-yeob's YouTube show 'Zzan Bro'. During the show, Shin Dong-yeob asked BAEKHYUN if he had a lot of aegyo in front of his parents. I used to be full of aegyo when I was little. But it went away quite a bit as I reached puberty. Since now I can, I tend to show my love for my parents through tangible things rather than aegyo. , BAEKHYUN remarked, adding, I wanted to act like a breadwinner so my family would find me reliable. Sure. Imagine a star with all the money trying to entertain their parents with aegyo without helping them financially or giving them gifts. That's the worst! , Shin Dong-yeob playfully exclaimed, causing BAEKHYUN to burst into laughter. When asked about the most expensive gift he gave his parents, BAEKHYUN said, First of all, I gifted them a house. And I have them update their vehicles to newer ones regularly. I gave them all the money I made for three years of my activities. , BAEKHYUN added, surprising everyone at the studio. Raising me and my sibling, my parents lived a frugal lifestyle for our sake. I became successful after they raised me like that. So I believe it's only right for me to show my appreciation for their efforts as much as possible. , BAEKHYUN expressed. The co-host, entertainer You Jae Phil, commented, I think it must have been difficult to give your parents all the money you made in three years of work. Yeah, it wasn't easy. When I first earned money, I wanted to splurge on things like a car or a luxury watch. But I come to think that it's all meaningless. , BAEKHYUN expressed. I'm always busy with my schedules. , he resumed, Even if I were to purchase those things, I doubt I would have the time to enjoy the car or wear the watch. I don't think I need those things at the moment. So I chose to give the money to my parents. People treat me well and respect me. But who would treat my parents like that? I thought that I should be the one to do the job. , BAEKHYUN added, leaving the two hosts amazed by his thoughtfulness. (Credit= '짠한형 신동엽' YouTube) (SBS Star)
