"Tazza 4" Byun Yo-Han said he would rather live as just "Tiffany's husband" than hold the power of being "Girls' Generation's brother-in-law."
On the morning of the 14th at a cafe in Samcheong-dong, Jongno District, Seoul, an interview was held with Byun Yo-Han, the lead actor of the film Tazza: The Song of Beelzebub (Tazza 4).
The series finale Tazza: The Song of Beelzebub (directed by Choi Guk-hee, distributed by CJ ENM, produced by Sidus) was made based on the original comic by Heo Yeong. It is a crime story in which Jang Tae-young (played by Byun Yo-Han), who thought he had everything through an online casino business, and his close friend with the same name Park Tae-young (played by Roh Jae Won), who took everything from him, meet again on a global gambling stage and engage in a single game of revenge.
Previously, the legendary Tazza Goni (played by Cho Seung-woo), the talkative Ko Gwang-ryeol (played by Yoo Hai Jin), Agwi (played by Kim Yun-seok), and Jjak-gwi (played by Joo Jin-mo) from Tazza (2006) influenced the sequel Tazza: The Hand of God (2014) with Goni's nephew Ham Dae-gil (played by Choi Seung-hyun), and Tazza: One Eyed Jack (2019) influenced Doi Il-chul (played by Park Jeongmin), Jjak-gwi's son. If the three films released over 20 years shared the same universe, the final installment Tazza: The Song of Beelzebub has a completely independent universe. A wholly different era and space and characters never seen before unfold into an original and exciting story.
Byun Yo-Han played Jang Tae-young, who ran a successful path by manipulating games with innate luck and animalistic instincts. He showcased card-based poker games and holdem, lost more than 10 kilograms and displayed not only physical change but also intense acting that included high-intensity bed scenes with Japanese actor Ayaka. In addition, Byun Yo-Han legally became a spouse this February after registering his marriage with Girls' Generation member Tiffany Young without a separate wedding ceremony. The couple, who went public with their relationship and became married within two months, drew attention.
When told that marrying Tiffany meant he had "caught both work and love," Byun Yo-Han, nervous, laughed and said, "Do I look comfortable? I'm actually very uncomfortable right now."
About the attention around his marriage, he said, "I'm not used to this kind of thing so I don't know how to put it into words, but (after marriage) I'm very happy. Because it's chapter two of my life, I'm trying to build it (as an actor) too. I don't know which direction it will go, but I want to separate them well and do well. To be honest, I want to go deeper."
At a joking prompt asking, "How does it feel to become the only brother-in-law of Girls' Generation? Fans sometimes call that power," he replied, "I don't want to think of it that way. 'Tiffany's husband' is about as far as I define it. I personally think that's right." He added, "I don't want to have that kind of power title. (laughs) I don't have that thought at all. I want to continue well as actor Byun Yo-Han, fighting my own battles. I just want to live well as a husband."
Byun Yo-Han, seven months into his marriage, expressed affection about his wife Tiffany's strength, saying, "She believes in me," and added, "I can't say to what extent she believes in me, but I feel it. I believe her equally."
Meanwhile, Tazza 4 opens on the 23rd.
