Producer Sun Hye-yoon Says Shin Dong-yup Can Drink Every Day Without Letting It Affect Work

Producer Sun Hye-yoon said that even when her husband, broadcaster Shin Dong-yup, drinks every day, it does not interfere with his work the following day.

Sun Hye-yoon offered a candid and lighthearted anecdote about Shin Dong-yup's drinking habits and his professional attitude on the job. As remarks she previously made on singer K.Will's YouTube content were introduced again, attention returned to the strict self-management and sense of duty Shin has shown throughout his long broadcasting career.

On the July 5 broadcast of the SBS entertainment program "My Little Old Boy," singers Lyn and K.Will were shown visiting a mugwort moxibustion room together. Ahead of upcoming concert and musical schedules, the two went to the facility, which has recently become popular among younger people, to take care of their bodies and talk through a wide range of topics.

Lyn explained why she had invited K.Will along, saying that her performance was about ten days away and that, because he was also performing in a musical, she thought it would be good for them to keep their bodies warm. In the relaxed setting, the two continued a natural conversation about their recent lives, music activities, and various episodes.

During the conversation, K.Will brought up his YouTube channel "Hyeongsu-neun K.Will" and introduced a past video featuring Sun Hye-yoon, the wife of Shin Dong-yup. That content had drawn viewers' interest because it dealt with realistic stories surrounding Shin's drinking habits.

K.Will recalled asking Sun Hye-yoon at the time, "Did you know that Dong-yup hyung was someone who drank this much?"

Sun Hye-yoon responded honestly, drawing laughter as she said, "At first, I thought he was the kind of person who only had one or two drinks. But after we got married, I realized he drinks almost every day. I had no idea he drank that often."

However, she soon showed deep trust in her husband as well. Sun Hye-yoon stressed that even when Shin drinks, it has no effect at all on his work the next day, and that he always completes whatever he has to do, whether it is a broadcast, a shoot, or another professional commitment. Her comments reflected the high regard she has for Shin's thorough work ethic, formed over many years of watching him in broadcasting environments.

When the story was shared, Shin Dong-yup, who was in the studio, could not hide his smile. The panelists appearing with him also expressed admiration, saying that he was truly impressive and that his professionalism could be felt. The reaction focused less on the simple fact that he drinks a lot and more on how striking it is that he gives his best at work regardless of the situation.

Shin Dong-yup has worked for decades as one of South Korea's representative MCs, earning recognition for his steady hosting ability across variety shows, talk shows, awards ceremonies, and other fields. Along with his distinctive quick wit and sense of humor, he has also built strong trust among fellow broadcasters through careful preparation and a sincere attitude toward broadcasting.

Sun Hye-yoon is also a veteran producer who has long been active in broadcast production. The couple have earned warm responses from many viewers as their mutually respectful and considerate relationship has been shown several times both on and off television.

The anecdote, highlighted again through this broadcast, left viewers with a warm impression. Beneath the cheerful tone of a married couple's story, it offered a glimpse of the deep trust and respect the two have for each other.
