South Korean superstar Hyun Bin recently melted hearts as he opened up about fatherhood and his deep affection for his three-year-old son. Known globally for his charismatic screen presence and hit dramas,
the actor showed a softer, more relatable side while discussing parenting, worries, and the future of his child. Hyun Bin’s candid comments came during a light-hearted and emotional conversation, giving fans a rare glimpse into his life beyond the spotlight.
Hyun Bin is 'just an ordinary dad'?
On December 21, Hyun Bin appeared in a video uploaded on the Fairy Jae Hyung YouTube channel, where he shared various personal stories. The discussion also referenced a previous episode featuring Son Ye-Jin, where she had shown Jae Hyung a photo of their son, a moment that had gone viral.Recalling that encounter, Jae Hyung said, “When Ye-Jin showed me the photo of their son, I was really shocked. I wondered if I had ever seen a baby who looked so cartoon-like. He’s so pretty, but I was also very curious about how
Hyun Bin would be as a father.”Responding with humility, Hyun Bin said, “I’m just an ordinary dad. He probably wouldn’t understand even if I were strict right now. He’s too adorable. He just turned three a few days ago,” openly expressing his love for his son.
Hyun Bin's worries as a father
Jae Hyung added, “How could he not be adorable? Anyone would say ‘Wow’ just by looking at him. It made me think of you as a dad. I guess it must come with worries too.”Hyun Bin acknowledged this, saying, “As he grows older, those worries will gradually come up. But I’d rather not start worrying about them now.”The conversation took a humorous turn when Jae Hyung asked, “How do you think you’d feel if he says ‘Dad, I want to be an actor’ once he starts elementary school?” Hyun Bin then sighed deeply and pondered, drawing laughter from everyone present and highlighting the complexity of such a thought for a parent who knows the industry too well.
