Han Hye Jin and Ki Sung-yueng Reveal Weekend Couple Life After 13 Years of Marriage

Actress Han Hye Jin will reveal her daily life with her husband, soccer player Ki Sung-yueng, to the public for the first time 13 years after their marriage. Although the star couple has been in the public eye for a long time, they have prioritized privacy; now, they are drawing intense interest as they plan to naturally share their family time and relationships through the new platform, YouTube.

On the 1st, Han Hye Jin shared the news of her wedding anniversary via her SNS, stating, “Today is our 13th wedding anniversary,” and added, “We are opening our YouTube channel this Friday at 10 AM. Please show us a lot of interest.”

Through the newly established YouTube channel, Han Hye Jin plans to record her daily life as an actress, a wife, and an individual. In the channel's announcement, she introduced, “I will record my small daily life living as a mother, a wife, and as a person. I want to slowly capture the times spent with precious people and moments that will remain in memory for a long time.”

This signifies a shift in how actress Han Hye Jin relates to the public, moving beyond mere content release. Amidst a recent trend where stars who previously built their images around broadcasting and acting activities choose more direct and intimate communication through personal channels, Han Hye Jin is embarking on a new journey by expanding her life into a form of content.

The released teaser video captures Han Hye Jin preparing for her new challenge amidst the support of her family and acquaintances. In particular, a phone call scene with her brother-in-law, actor Kim Kang-woo, drew significant attention.

Kim Kang-woo, who is rapidly growing after the launch of his YouTube channel and is nearing 1 million subscribers, asked Han Hye Jin in the video, “When are you starting your YouTube channel?” to which Han Hye Jin replied, “It opens this Friday at 10 AM.”

When Kim Kang-woo followed up by asking, “Are you nervous?”, Han Hye Jin expressed the pressure of the new platform challenge, saying, “I'm worried. I hope people find it entertaining.” In response, Kim Kang-woo offered support, showing a natural family relationship by saying, “I watched the first episode and it was fun. You don't have to worry.”

In the latter half of the video, brief glimpses of the family, including husband Ki Sung-yueng and their daughter, were also revealed. Rather than the glamorous images of a celebrity or a sports star, the video captured natural moments as family members, raising expectations for the main content.

The theme of the first episode is known to be 'Weekend Couple.' It is expected to contain the realistic lifestyle of the couple, who had to coordinate their time between overseas activities and life in Korea, and the process of maintaining their relationship despite different environments.

Han Hye Jin and Ki Sung-yueng married in 2013. Afterward, Han Hye Jin spent her newlywed life in Swansea, UK, to accompany Ki Sung-yueng's overseas activities, and welcomed their daughter Si-on in 2015.

Although the two have received public attention for a long time since their marriage, they have maintained a cautious attitude toward revealing their family's daily life. As such, this YouTube debut is interpreted not just as a simple update on their current status, but as a meaningful change to share the couple's relationship and family time built over 13 years with the public.

In particular, there is an increasing number of cases in the entertainment industry where stars, who previously revealed minimal private information, are forming new relationships with fans by turning their lives and values into content. Han Hye Jin is also expected to build a more multi-dimensional human image by showing her life as a member of a household beyond her professional identity as an actress.

Attention is focused on how the narrative of the couple built over 13 years, their lives as parents, and their relationship of continuing to respect one another will be expressed through this content.
