Actress Han Go-eun to leave all assets to husband in new will

Actress Han Go-eun revealed on her YouTube channel that she intends to leave her entire estate to her husband, Shin Young-soo, as part of a recent legal will-drafting session with lawyer Jung Jae-min. The couple, who married in 2015 and have no children, used the video to discuss the legal formalities required to ensure the document's validity.

Actress Han Go-eun shared her honest feelings about life, death, and those left behind as she drafted a will alongside her husband, Shin Young-soo. The couple drew attention not only by declaring that Han would leave all her assets to her husband but also through the poignant requests she made for her spouse, who would be left alone. The serious conversation revealed a deep affection for one another, contrasting with the couple's usually cheerful daily life.

On the 22nd, a video titled "The reason why Han Go-eun met a lawyer with her husband to write a will" was released on the YouTube channel 'Go-eun Unni Han Go-eun'. During the session, the couple invited lawyer Jung Jae-min to discuss the methods of drafting a will and its legal validity. Han explained the reason for the meeting, stating, "As I reach this age, both life and death feel heavier than they did when I was younger."

Providing the couple with will templates, Jung Jae-min instructed that they must specifically list assets, inheritance recipients, and executors. He emphasized that the date must be included, noting, "If the date is not written, it is completely invalid," explaining that while expressing one's heart is important, fulfilling legal formalities is equally crucial.

Shin Young-soo was the first to reveal his will. He listed a hypothetical building as an asset and wrote that he would inherit the rights and authority of said property to his wife, Han Go-eun. While the beginning was serious, the atmosphere shifted with his final sentence: "Let's meet again in the next life. I'm not sure if we can meet because I failed to save the country in this life." Upon hearing this, Jung Jae-min brought laughter to the moment by pointing out, "Something like that has no legal effect."

The video also introduced practical issues surrounding wills. Jung explained that the timing of the writing and the format are critical when determining the validity of a will. He specifically mentioned that inheritance disputes among family members can cause the contents of a will to change. For instance, even if parents write a will after a trip with one child, a situation could arise where another child spends time with the parents and has them write a new will. This highlighted the reality that a final document left for family can sometimes become the starting point for further conflict.

The most touching moment occurred when Han Go-eun's will was revealed. As Shin Young-soo read his wife's words, it was disclosed that Han intended to leave all her assets to him. She also added the request, "Please take good care of Haru Shinbi." This passage captured not just her decision on asset distribution, but her desire for her husband to live well after her passing.

The will continued with affectionate messages for her husband. Han wrote, "Honey, stay healthy and don't be lonely without me. Live the remaining time preciously and happily, so that when we meet again with a smile, you can unpack a bundle of funny stories from this world. I love you, honey, and thank you always." Her words conveyed her concern for the time he would spend without her and her wish for him to live happily rather than remaining in sorrow.

Han Go-eun and Shin Young-soo married in 2015. Shin Young-soo, who is four years younger than Han, is a non-celebrity, and the couple has shared glimpses of their daily lives through broadcasts and social media since their marriage. Han previously expressed her intention not to have children on the Channel A show 'Men's Life These Days: Groom's Class', stating, "What kind of child is there at this age? I am 49 now." Because the couple has built a life centered on themselves without children, the mutual requests contained in this will drew even more attention.

Drafting a will can be a process that goes beyond simply organizing assets to considering the lives of those left behind. Han Go-eun conveyed her intention to leave her property to her husband along with a request for him to live healthily and happily. While imagining an eventual parting is heavy, the couple's actions in preparing for that moment served to confirm the preciousness of the person currently by their side, leaving a lingering impression.
