Ahn Jae Hyun stirred buzz after opening up about relationships in a new YouTube video, stirring memories of his messy 2019 divorce from actress Goo Hye Sun.
The actor met with his school friend and that friend’s long-term girlfriend of over 13 years on his channel. Listening to their take on love, Ahn Jae Hyun dropped revealing comments that seemed to reflect on his own past struggles.
He admitted his friend “makes it seem so easy” and noted the importance of who you date is just as critical as how you date.
Ahn Jae Hyun:
“The way you’re describing your relationship… It just seems so easy.
…I guess you really do have to meet a good person. You naturally change into a better person under the influence of a good partner. It’s clear—you have to be with someone good.”
Ahn also rethought how relationships should get started, contrasting his past fiery romance with a calmer approach.
Ahn Jae Hyun:
“Rather than an intense spark or fiery passion, I think it’s better when things start off comfortably.”
This insight arrives nearly five years after his bitter divorce with Goo Hye Sun was finalized in 2020, a breakup that shocked fans when details about their marital issues surfaced in 2019.
Their battle included publicized disputes and leaked chat logs revealing both love and hatred, keeping the couple under intense media scrutiny.
