Actor Ahn Jae-hyun conveyed the loneliness of living alone.
On the 13th, a video titled "I made dim sum with my handsome younger brother Jae-hyun" was uploaded on the channel 'Jeong Ji-seon's Knife Isma.'
On that day, Jeong Ji-seon invited Ahn Jae-hyun and they cooked ginseng dim sum together. During the process, Jeong Ji-seon mentioned, "I read an article recently that said you feel lonely," referring to Ahn Jae-hyun expressing his struggles of living alone.
In response, Ahn Jae-hyun frankly shared, "I live in Seongsu. When I go to Seongsu on weekends, there are usually two people or families. Sometimes, I end up being a little envious when I have a day off on the weekend. It looks really nice to see families dining out together."
Then Jeong Ji-seon said, "You feel envious? You can just create something then. You're at a certain age now," and at that moment, Ahn Jae-hyun struck the ginseng he was preparing, which made everyone laugh. He then explained, "Was the timing a bit off? I think we learned when we were young that you need to inflict some wounds for things to smell good."
Hearing this, the production team remarked, "Your words are so beautiful. You need to get hurt for it to be fragrant. That's a wise saying," and Ahn Jae-hyun replied, "Really? Wouldn't it hurt?"
Later, Jeong Ji-seon watched Ahn Jae-hyun's cooking skills and praised him, saying, "Your cooking knowledge is excellent," and Ahn Jae-hyun expressed, "I enjoy cooking. It's really not fun to cook alone. That's why I tend not to do it. The dishes just pile up."
Jeong Ji-seon was surprised and said, "Oh really? When you're alone?" Ahn Jae-hyun responded, "And when you smell it, you feel full," which surprised everyone. Jeong Ji-seon echoed, "You feel full just by smelling it?" and Ahn Jae-hyun further commented, "When I'm cooking and I smell it, I feel like I've eaten it all. Doesn't that happen?"
In response, Jeong Ji-seon said, "No one relates to that," conveying the chilly atmosphere of the scene. The production team asked, "How full do you feel right now?" to which Ahn Jae-hyun replied, "I think it's about 30% full," shocking everyone.
Meanwhile, Ahn Jae-hyun married actress Goo Hye-sun in 2016 but divorced in 2020. During the divorce process, they engaged in a protracted conflict, overshadowed by Goo Hye-sun's revelations that fueled rumors of discord, but ultimately, their legal divorce was finalized in July 2020.
Especially, five years after the divorce, in September, Goo Hye-sun expressed through her social account, "I think repeatedly leading the news headline with 'five years since divorce' and stigmatizing it is not correct press ethics," adding, "Although the divorce process with my ex-spouse was not good, the continued indirect mentions and remarks that suggest me, as a party engaged in the same industry, are cowardly acts that shift the narrative between serious and joking comments."
However, Goo Hye-sun had also made direct mentions of divorce and new love in entertainment shows. Furthermore, she had spread malicious claims against Ahn Jae-hyun during the divorce process, leading to public fatigue regarding media coverage. In light of this, some pointed out 'double standards.' In response, Goo Hye-sun added, "This statement is about the situation that occurred after the agreement with my ex-spouse. I regret reports that blur the narrative by connecting it to the conflict situation before the agreement."
